The September trousers



























The arrival of the September fall/winter magazines always gets me excited for the new season. Despite it not even been mid August and the sun is only now starting to come out in London, I'm ready for winter clothing. I think I like fall fashion better than summer because there is more variation whereas in the summer its just gladiator sandals and nautical style.

Anyway, the trousers I'll be purchasing by the end of the week in preparation for the winter are these Chinos by Gap.

They look really soft and the white pair have this luxe feeling about them, that I'm tempted to get that instead of the safe colours I was considering like camel or navy blue. Apparently the chinos are already selling out fast which doesn't surprise me because they look great. I particularly like how they were styled by Glamour magazine (scroll up) and how Teen Vogue styled them really simply on Taylor Momsen (their September issue cover girl) and went heavy on the accessories. I decided to take a different approach with no accessories and let the sparkly tops shine.
