Day Birger Oda Classic Gabardine Trouser in Black

The trousers that mean business. Even when your only appointment is lunch.

The Day Birger et Mikkelsen Oda Classic Gabardine Trousers in Black are sophisticated women’s tailored trousers with a contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic. Crafted in classic gabardine, they’re a beautifully versatile wardrobe staple that brings polish to everyday dressing without making everything feel terribly serious.

At BWD, we believe a brilliant pair of black trousers is worth its weight in gold. They should work with trainers, loafers and heels, look just as good with a simple T-shirt as they do with a fabulous blazer, and never leave you wondering what on earth to wear.

The Oda trousers are exactly the sort of wardrobe building block we love. Beautiful tailoring, endless styling possibilities and absolutely no need to save them for the office.

And paired with the Day Birger et Mikkelsen Edie Classic Gabardine Blazer in Black? Now we’re talking.

Why they made the cut

• Classic black gabardine tailoring delivers a polished, contemporary look.
• Day Birger et Mikkelsen’s signature Scandinavian aesthetic feels modern rather than corporate.
• A versatile wardrobe staple that works across seasons.
• Black makes them wonderfully easy to style with almost everything you already own.
• Pair with the matching Edie Classic Gabardine Blazer for a beautifully coordinated tailoring look.
• Equally fabulous dressed down with trainers and a T-shirt or up with heels and jewellery.
• A clever addition to a smaller, harder-working wardrobe.
• Because looking like you’ve made an effort shouldn’t actually require making very much effort.

How we’d wear the Oda Classic Gabardine Trousers

Our first choice? The Oda trousers, a crisp white T-shirt and the matching Day Birger Edie Classic Gabardine Blazer. Add loafers, a good belt and gold jewellery. It’s polished, contemporary and wonderfully wearable.

We particularly love the contrast between the Oda trousers and the cropped silhouette of the Edie Blazer. Together, they create a sharp, modern take on black tailoring without feeling like traditional officewear.

For something more relaxed, wear them with the Samsøe Samsøe Alexo Tank Vest in White, a leather belt and trainers. Simple, cool and absolutely not trying too hard.

We also love them with the Odd Muse Long Sleeve Knitted Top in Cream. Black tailored trousers and a beautifully shaped cream knit are one of those combinations that will never let you down.

For evening, swap the knit for the Day Birger et Mikkelsen Rio Silky Touch Evening Top in Black, add statement earrings and heels. Black-on-black dressing is always a good idea. Particularly when there’s champagne involved.

How do you style black tailored trousers casually? Pair them with everyday pieces such as a white T-shirt, relaxed knitwear or a simple vest. Add trainers or loafers and keep the accessories understated. The contrast between smart tailoring and casual separates is what makes the outfit feel modern.

Can you wear black tailored trousers for an evening out? Absolutely. Add a silky top, statement jewellery and a heel, and they’re every bit as appropriate for dinner as they are for daytime. No dress required.

Do black tailored trousers have to be worn with a matching blazer? Not at all. We love the matching Edie Blazer, but the beauty of great black trousers is how easily they work with pieces you already own. We’re building a wardrobe, not enforcing a uniform.
