Trousers I Wear On Repeat - My Autumn Staples
My go-to trousers this season - from Primark finds to the Adidas Firebird track bottoms I own in every colour and my favourite barrel leg cuts. All comfy, flattering and easy to style for everyday over-40 style.
My favourite early-2025 trousers were the Bershka Cropped Barrel Trousers in Khaki from ASOS (£27.99) - I lived in them. I've just found the exact dupe at Primark for £16.
The Paper Touch Pleated Barrel Leg Trousers have the same relaxed barrel silho...

My absolute wardrobe essential - I have these Adidas Firebird Loose track bottoms in 3 colours and live in them! They're not the barrel leg shape, they're a flattering relaxed straight leg which I find so much more wearable. High-waisted, super soft ...

The Repeat-Wear Heroes

Just spotted my favourite trench is BACK in stock at Damson Madder! What's not to like - check one side, bold red on the other, two looks in one. It's fully reversible and shower-proof, with a vintage gingham print and red corduroy collar, so wearabl...

Not a new find - this is my repeat-wear hero from last year. I wore my Pearl Hooded Puffer in Multi Check on repeat all through late autumn / winter last year and it's coming straight back out again.
