Stepping out in Paris during Paris Haute Couture Week, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore an elegant outfit that masterfully balanced new-season trends with enduring wardrobe staples. Assembling her front-row look, Huntington-Whiteley opted for a trending
scarf jacket in hardy leather. Draping gracefully across her body and around her neck, the built-in scarf contributed to the elegant silhouette that was finessed with the choice of a classic yet unexpected trouser style.
Opting for a pair of skinny trousers in an extra-long length, Huntington-Whiteley was able to craft a refined outfit that felt simultaneously simple and supremely sophisticated. Balancing the top-heavy silhouette created by the dramatic cape, the slim-leg trousers kept the outfit from being overwhelmed.
Skinny trousers have taken some time out of the limelight as their wide-legged sisters have enjoyed seasons of popularity, but this classic style just might be about to make a comeback. A mainstay in the collections of some of our favourite designers including The Row and Toteme, the humble design has been called up for decades for its unique ability to add a polished edge to any ensemble. In fact, the more I look at Huntington-Whiteley's outfit, the more it strikes me that I've seen another celebrity frequenting a very similar trouser silhouette for a while now.
Victoria Beckham may flirt with a wide-leg from time to time, but she's a skinny-trousers woman at heart and has been since the '90s. Beckham is more petite than you think at just 5'4", but with clever styling (not dissimilar to HW's); opting for a slim-leg trouser that drapes around her heels, she creates the illusion of being taller.
Styled with square-toe boots and a black leather handbag, Huntington-Whiteley's polished outfit has filled me with new-season styling inspiration. To shop the foundation of her outfit, read on to discover the best skinny and slim-leg trousers available to buy now.
