Versatile Style: Zara Chino Trousers

Yet again, another unimaginative name from our friends at Zara. They’re lucky they design such chic clothes, or else I may be so bored by their names, I wouldn’t feature them! Speaking of bored, I’m bored of the routine of throwing on my jeans and then picking a top to match. Even though I have an extensive jean wardrobe, sometimes I just want to change my pants up. The Zara Chino Trousers and cute, fashionable and come in a muted shades — making them perfect for Fall.

Zara recently started shipping to the US and fashionistas all over America rejoiced! This pair of trousers is SO on-trend; androgynous, but still sexy. I love the deep shade of burgundy and knew they would make the perfect fall addition to my wardrobe. I decided to stick with a classic day-and-night review of this one.

Let’s start with daytime.

Start with the burgundy trousers and throw in this camel trapeze top. The horizontal stripes keep it interesting but aren’t so big that you balloon. I kept accessories super simple with a horn pendant and a leather-look satchel. Finish off with a pair of black ballet flats, which I’m sure everyone already has in their wardrobe. If you have a pair of fake glasses, they would suit this outfit perfectly – I like to call it “professor chic”.

And now onto night.

Even though this do look like professor-pants, they can definitely be made sexy. Start with this standout sequined tee in a gorgeous pewter shade. These black suede pumps (coincidentally made by Zara as well) feature a beyond-sexy stiletto heel in a contrasting silver and scream dangerous. Keep accessories simple in this look too: a pair of jet black studs and a chunky bangle or two in muted shades will do. I was so inspired by this look that I included a rocker faux-hawk ponytail and nude lippie for a corresponding beauty look!

If the burgundy shade is a bit intimidating, fear not! This smart trouser comes in safe shades like grey and black, in addition to burgundy and punchy mustard. These trousers and perfect for Fall and I can guarantee they will fall in rotation just like your fave pair of denim. Check them out at Zara for about $50.
