Party season is upon us folks, which means sequins, velvet, and feathers are cropping up everywhere – often in dress form. But one thing that can't go unnoticed is how bloody cold it is in the UK right now. The season change felt like it literally happened overnight.

While wearing tights can make a slight difference to your internal body temp, when the mercury dips below zero degrees, exposing your legs is probably the last thing you wanna do. The solution? Metallic trousers, AKA disco pants.

Lucky for us, after first emerging on our fashion radars last year (spotted on the AW22 runways of Paco Rabanne and Isabel Marant to *that* Zara pair going viral on TikTok), high-shine slacks are back trending again. Yippee! And continuing the good news, they're better than ever for party szn 2023.

Case in point: Hush's silver leather trousers, the hero item of the London-based Aussie brand's latest collection. If you're looking for a sleek fashun pair, check out Ganni, while you can't beat Amy Lynn's multi-colour offering. Alternatively, Mango and River Island also do bangin' high-street iterations, Mint Velvet has got wide-leg trews covered, and Abercrombie & Fitch and Simply Be catering to curvy gals.

As for how to wear a pair of metallic trousers, below are a handful of chic combos to try. The best part is that since these bad bois do most of the heavy lifting, the rest of your 'fit can be fuss-free and very easy to pull together – it's basically the classic 'jeans and a nice top' combo in reverse.

Team yours with a white top and blazer:
