John Lewis Wide Leg Satin Backed Palazzo Trousers

Devotees of denim will reach for their favourite jeans as a reliable all-day trouser, but give us a moment and we think we can convert you to satin worship. Do your jeans have a super comfy, judgement-free, CREATED FOR REAL LIFE elasticated waist? Because these certainly do.

Remember the conundrum that existed before the world of loungewear and leggings? Trying to pin down that one pair of trousers that would take you from school run to office to after hours? What a chore.

Here's the answer: not just satin trousers, but palazzo pants. In case you don't know, these retro-style pants are cut to a free-flowing wide leg, so they’re effortlessly flattering as they offer a draped shape with plenty of movement. An easy, breezy style that takes away the stress of all-day dressing and allows you to sprint for the bus or boogie on the dancefloor.

We love the subtle shine of the satin-backed crepe fabric which gives them an extra day-to-night styling point. Thinking back to that dilemma, style them with cosy cashmere and trainers for the commute and swap with a tailored blazer and heels for the office and beyond. We told you they can do it all.
