Those colors are (and have been for a very long time, being the New Yorker that I am) navy, black, and cream, which I often mix with camel. My goal was to match these trousers to crewneck cashmere sweaters in the same colors, since those are the sweaters I live in all winter long. (I&#8217;m cold all winter long, so sweaters are essential.) By matching the sweaters and the trousers I knew I could get a lot of versatile wear from them. I&#8217;m big on monochrome dressing, so a navy sweater with navy trousers is ideal for me. But I also knew I would mix and match the sweaters with the trousers, so the video shows you some of those options.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Coh-vUNqLD5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
