My New York-based friend dragged me around Los Angeles the other day to help her find the perfect pair of trousers. The holy-grail criteria: perfectly loose-fitting, polished yet also casual, flattering, not too expensive and day-to-night worthy! Not surprisingly, we failed to find a pair that checked all the boxes that day, but, independently, I stayed on task and, thanks to ever-in-the-know Parisienne Leia Sfez, above, I just discovered 's trousers that not only fit the bill, but come in a variety of colors and ring in at less than $400. I snapped up this pair in that I might just wear every day this winter!
