Keep your trousers on! Find your perfect pair and they’ll work with everything | Jess-Cartner Morley on fashion

I wear mine with T-shirts in summer, shirts in autumn, with sweaters now. Plus, they can make a great low-impact party outfit

It has been a mixed bag of a year, hasn’t it? Ups and downs, let’s say. That is probably the most positive spin on 2024. But when times are challenging, it is more important than ever to celebrate the small wins. And for me, one of the deep joys of this year has been rediscovering the absolute life-changing brilliance of having a pair of trousers that go with everything that you really like.

My favourite loose-leg trousers have been my north star this year. They work with everything, and they make everything work. I wear them with loafers and with trainers and ankle boots. With T-shirts in summer, with shirts in spring and autumn, with sweaters now.
