As I realized from experimentation final 12 months, trousers can have a spot even in a extra informal wardrobe. Whereas they’ve at all times been a staple for workwear, trousers paired with sneakers is a newer-to-me informal combo that’s on pattern and really snug. I’m partnering with Categorical to share a traditional petite-friendly pair that’s at present on sale, plus two methods to fashion them! It’s also possible to see the seems to be in movement in my Instagram Reel.

1. Novelty Button Sweater Jacket

This Chanel-inspired sweater jacket is SO cute, it could be one in every of my favourite Categorical finds! The XS is a barely unfastened match and the sleeves are a tad lengthy on me (see pictures under), but it surely’s a cropped fashion so works higher than typical for petites.

I’ve an identical tweed jacket that I bought over 6 years in the past and nonetheless attain of on a regular basis (even earned a spot in my capsule wardrobe), so I’d say this fashion is unquestionably a timeless one, not less than for me. Compared to my tweed jacket, I like that this can be a gentle sweater knit which gives numerous versatility. I’ve been sporting it with blue, gray and cream denims and sneakers or flats for a sensible informal look.

2. Draped Top

This draped prime had good evaluations and certainly seems to be very stylish paired with denims or trousers. I really like the distinctive pleated drape design mixed with a evenly padded shoulder for construction. Word that this prime has a cropped size and never lengthy sufficient to tuck into something, and I both fold the sleeves beneath about an inch or push them up on my arms.

3. High Waisted Pintuck Trousers – 50% off

Traditional pair of trousers with numerous nice evaluations. I dug deep within the older product pages to search out these pants with a pleasant drape material and excellent petite-friendly size! I observed that many more moderen trouser kinds, even in Petite / Quick inseams, are literally reasonably lengthy and nonetheless require hemming on me. These match very properly and the size works for me to put on both with sneakers or low heels. The 00 quick measures 12.5″ throughout the waist, 11″ rise and 27.5″ inseam.

We’ve been having numerous Converse sneaker chats over on IG, and this can be a laid-back, straightforward option to put on them with one thing apart from denims.

I additionally wished to say that my velvet corset top (my review) was restocked in a number of colours and is at present beneath $30! This was an unexpectedly versatile discover that provides a luxe, elegant contact to a night outfit or winter marriage ceremony look.
