If you’re a chronic black-trouser wearer in the winter, I completely get it. There’s nothing easier to put on that grounds and pulls together any outfit. There are endless ways to style a classic pair of dark tailored pants, but if you’re looking for fresh outfit formulas for now or the upcoming season, you’re in the right place. One look I love right now comes courtesy of fashion icon Julianne Moore.
While in New York City this week, Moore was photographed wearing a black-trouser ensemble that reflected her chic, understated aesthetic. Anchoring her outfit with barrel-leg black pants, Moore paired them with a short-sleeve knit top. To elevate the look, she added Bottega Veneta’s Veneta Bag and oval-shaped sunglasses. For footwear, she opted for white ballet flats.

Since many fashion people would default to pairing black trousers with black shoes, Moore’s decision to finish her ensemble with white shoes felt intentional. The choice felt especially deliberate given the footwear’s modern silhouette, with its high vamp and subtle square toe.
