MONDAY STYLIST: 3 WAYS TO WEAR BLACK TROUSERS

By -

Hi!!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. I spent mine catching up with my chores and my reading which has been piling. I also managed to do diys which I hope to complete in the course of the week. I didn’t quite manage to do everything I had hoped but at least I accomplished something.
Black trousers are a wardrobe must-have in any girls’ wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. In today’s Monday Stylist, I want to give you three simple ways to dress up your black trousers for 3 different occasions.

1. Working Girl
For this look I chose a sheer top with Peter-Pan collar, a cobalt blue tuxedo jacket and black heels and handbag. Depending on your office dress-code, you can pull out some bright colours to cheer you up (and your colleagues as well). Pairing red and blue is a good way to do this. Add stud-earrings for a simple yet chic office look.




2. Night Out

When on a night out, you can opt to pull out all the stops. I went for a peplum top which has sequins. Wear peep- toe booties in a neon colour, a clutch bag and statement jewellery.



3. Weekend out
For a day spent with the girls or running errands, I went with a loose-fitting knit sweater-top, floral ballet flats and a  cross-body bag.





Opt for trousers made from blends with cotton so that they don't crease easily. As much as I love cotton, sometimes the fabric creases so much and if it's black collects so much lint. 
Black trousers are very versatile. Which other ways would you style them?? I hope this post was helpful!!!

Happy Monday!!!!

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue.  I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me.  On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Five Books I Want To Read in 2019

My love for reading books has always been bubbling beneath the surface and it has finally blown over. I've not always been a great reader. To make matters worse, motherhood has given me even less time for leisure activities like reading. However, I started pushing myself a bit and now I make time to read.  I find it a good use of time to read while in the matatu, when I take myself on a lunch date or when my eyes need a rest from constantly staring at a screen.  This year, I have decided to challenge myself a bit more by documenting the books I have read and loved as well as have a running list of books that I would love to read. Below are five books that I am keen to read this year. 1. Memoirs of a Geisha 2. Becoming by Michelle Obama 3. An Edited Life by Anna Newton 4. Reasons to stay alive by Matt Haig 5. Heart and hustle by Patricia Bright Which books do you think I should add to my reading list? Thank you for stopping by....
