Jennifer Aniston Just Wore the ‘90s Black Trouser and Shoe Combo That's Reliably Chic

I've always felt that September shifts the styling mood more than any other month. As the back-to-school energy kicks in, wardrobes often follow suit, mine included. Without even meaning to, I’ve been trading in jeans for tailored trousers, tees for button-downs and trainers for something sleeker as I work towards channelling a more polished silhouette.

While easing into this new rhythm, I’ve been on the lookout for styling inspiration to maximise my early-autumn looks. And this morning, Jennifer Aniston delivered in spades, stepping out in an autumn shoe trend that elevates tailored trousers, in a '90s-minimalist kind of way.

Jennifer Aniston wears black trousers with pointed-toe heels and a black vest top.

Styling her tailored trousers with pointed-toe heels in glossy black leather, the pointed-toe detailing elongated her legs, while the sleek heel added a certain poise that flats can never quite match. A fool-proof pairing that felt sharp and polished, but not overly serious, Aniston layered a V-neck vest, delicate jewels and a pair of tinted brown aviators, crafting an elegant outfit that easily sees you through the season.

Dare I say, it’s the perfect September ensemble—streamlined, easy and inherently chic. Below, shop the best black trousers and pointed-toe heels to re-create Aniston’s formula below.
