Trend Alert: Trousers for Cocktail Functions

Have you noticed how many of the young stars are hitting the red carpet of cocktail functions in trousers of late? And for all of us who like a trouser, this is excellent news. However, to get it right for right now, you need to follow a few guidelines:
1. The trousers must be skinny;
2. The trousers should end at the ankle (little too long on Rose Byrne there);
3. The trousers should have an evening shine to them - either in leather like Solange Knowles, or tuxedo satin like Olivia Palermo;
4. and finally, you should team the trouser with a heel and a cool, cropped top. Unless you are in your twenties, when a super cute hipster jumper like Shailene Woodley is an awesome choice.
There you go. Embrace the pants. You can do it.
