This autumn, if fashionistas aren’t showing us multiple ways to wear the coolest tights of the season, they’re completely eschewing lower-half wear altogether and championing the ‘no trousers’ trend that made its way from the AW23 runways to popular fashion agendas.
Rita Ora is the latest in a slew of style icons including Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner and Ellie Goulding to try out the daring trend.

Rita wore a black plunge neck tuxedo jacket-dress with satin lapels, paired with Coperni’s ‘Rubber Bridge’ boots and a black and silver handbag from the same brand.
A muted-toned all-black look is a surprising one for Rita whose eclectic fashion agenda often consists of sheer outfits, dazzling dresses or off-piste make-up trends, but as always her outfit was doused in cool-girl and utterly on-trend.

During the autumn/winter 2023 fashion shows in February, trouserless outfits were a major trend including jumpers paired with pants and tights and blazers with no trousers. Think: Kendall Jenner’s internet-breaking Bottega Veneta pants and tights look in November 2022. On the A/W runways, Emily Ratajkowski closed the Simkhai show at NYFW in a stunning black and silver embellished blazer with no lower-half wear, whilst another model donned a conservative black boxy blazer with fuschia lapels at Christian Siriano paired with black underwear and a pair of tights. A model for Dion Lee wore a cold-weather-ready outfit, rocking a shearling grey jacket with tonal knee-high boots – minus the trousers, of course.
If you fancy taking on this trend for this season, the celebrities have shown us multiple ways to style it. JLo incorporated cowgirlcore with knee-high boots, Kendall Jenner wore a striped shirt with patent slip-on loafers and Ellie Goulding paired woollen pants with fishnet tights woollen pants with fishnet tights.
