My favourite pair are these fabulous Karen Millen culottes which come in grey and black. Dress them up with a Givenchy deconstructed white shirt, or dress them down with a Ted Baker embellished sweater. Alternatively, be the smartest employee in the room and team your KM culottes with a  statement  jacket to create the ultimate A/W 14/15 power suit.
