We consider denim the foundation of our closets here at Red, whatever the season. <\/p>\n

Like our Editor-in-Chief Sarah<\/a> says: \u201cThe right pair of jeans is possibly the biggest game-changer in your wardrobe.\u201d<\/p>\n

In short: we take jeans<\/a> very seriously, so if a pair of trousers even stands a chance of breaking up our love affair with denim, they need to be perfect. Cue Zara\u2019s super chic new Barrel Trousers (\u00a327.99).<\/p>\n

Perfect for teaming with a slinky camisole and smart flip-flops for the remainder of summer, these will look just as polished worn with a button-down and loafers come autumn.<\/p>\n

But what really sets these high-street trousers apart is that expensive-looking balloon silhouette. With a sculptural, slightly avant-garde shape that adds just the right amount of drama, balloon trousers\u2019 fluidity gives them a designer look, but they\u2019re still as comfortable as your favourite working-from-home joggers, despite looking smart enough for the office.<\/p>\n

Even our senior fashion editor Jodie is currently backing balloon trousers at the moment, noting: \u201cBalloon pants are the biggest trouser trend for spring\/summer this year. Breaking out of the confines of jeans, they make for a great, lightweight alternative for the warmer weather, while the billowing shape gives the same impression as a flowing skirt, without the requirement to flash a bare leg.\u201d<\/p>\n

Available in three hues (ecru, camel and khaki) and billed by Zara as a \u201cmust buy\u201d, only one question remains: which colour are you adding to basket? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We consider denim the foundation of our closets here at Red, whatever the season.
