Wardrobe Basics #14: Cigarette Pants

The Wardrobe Basics series considers those items that form the foundation of a fully functioning wardrobe. They are those pieces that will go with anything else that you might add to your wardrobe and those pieces that you go back to season after season. This series takes each of those Basics and discusses their importance and where to buy them, for every budget. You can see the previous Basics in this series here.

This week's Basic is the Cigarette Pant: a wardrobe classic that has been much loved over the years and most particularly by my ultimate Style Icon, Audrey Hepburn. The shape of the trouser has made them an enduring classic which will take you from the boardroom to the bar in one easy step:
