The relaxed and slouchier fits are also way more body-friendly and accessible. But sometimes, they look a bit too casual for the office and even nights out. Leave it to Hailey Bieber to offer a solution: Pleated trousers. The model was spotted in a pair of black pleated trousers in LA over the weekend, proving just how versatile the look can be. Bieber played with proportions by pairing her pleated pants with a body-hugging white crop top and added some edge courtesy of a leather jacket. White tees or slim blazers also make for perfect ways to balance out roomy trousers, which look polished enough for the office but have that extra something to amp up a night-out look. These five Bieber-inspired pleated pants work in the boardroom and the bar. Here at Parade.com, we’re all about sharing products we love with our audience.
