COMFY TROUSERS WHAT TO WEAR WITH:

Athleisure inspiration swears by loose pants such as cargo, parachute and palazzo. Wide-legged trousers are comfortable and if styled in the right way, they can taken you from the sofa to a fancy dinner party. These red Max Mara parachute pants are a bold way to embrace the trend.

1. Mixing different fabrics is a fashion-forward way of creating interesting looks. Isabel Marant mixed nylon and velvet to compose this runway outfit.

2. Following the idea of mixing different materials, this Isabel Marant Etoile sleeveless knitted jumper will bring a pretty detail to your autumn wardrobe. You can add a shirt or a second skin underneath for a more modest approach or to fight colder temperatures.

3. Opt for high-heeled shoes if you want a more elegant way of wearing these pants. These Sportmax black pumps even allow you to wear your comfy trousers in the office (if you don’t have a strict dress code in your workplace).

4. Pair your bottoms with a simple tank top for a casual stroll. Noon by Noor has a selection of them in different solid shades.

5. A beautifully printed scarf like this La Double J has the power to make any look more elegant. When putting your outfit together, pay attention to the colour palette you are going for and explore further in your accessories.

6. Supermodels love comfort when they are away from catwalks. Wide-legged trousers are always a good pick for comfortable yet stylish looks. Gigi Hadid can frequently be spotted wearing casual outfits while running her errands.

Fashion Forward

M7, Qatar’s epicentre for innovation and entrepreneurship in fashion and design, and Printemps Doha, set to be the largest luxury department store in the region, have announced the inception of The Collective. The project aims to guide selected Qatar-based established and up-and-coming designers through their creative process while enabling them to better understand the fashion business. The programme connects young designers with industry experts, offers workshops, gives one-on-one tutoring and prepares them for their entry into the retail market. Following an initial screening process, 14 designers with categories in womenswear, abayas, kaftans, eveningwear, casual wear and accessories will be invited to introduce their brands. Seven of them will be shortlisted by a jury panel, composed of fashion industry experts and professionals from M7 and Printemps Doha, for the three-month coaching programme and the opportunity to showcase their creations and sell their capsule collections in a dedicated M7 X Printemps Doha space. An opportunity not to be missed!
