I'm going in with the A word...

...although I could have gone in with the C word (CHRISTMAS!) BUT I'm breaking us in gently with Autumn...

Yes, there is definitely a nip in the air of Autumnal 

For now I LOVE them with a tee, sandals and a blazer.  As soon as the weather slightly turns, I wear a long sleeved tee or fine knit jumper, blazers and trainers.  Change of weather, I keep the trainers, a chunkier jumper and an oversized coat or trench.

You CAN still wear these if you're petite - it's just about getting the proportions right.  A higher waist will give the impression of elongating the legs and you can team them with a flatform or a heeled boot to give you some more height. It's probably best not to wear lots of fabric or chunky layers over the top.  The more fluid your outerwear, again it will give the impression of height not width. 

Starting with two that I can personally recommend.  I have had both of these for the last couple of years - M&S have thoughtfully bought them back and they are the best wide leg black trousers bar none. 

First up a pair that are fab for transitional dressing (fashion schmasion talk for those tricky times of year when it's not warm or cold aka Spring and Autumn and pretty much many days inbetween as well).

Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers from M&S £29.50



Which they also do in navy...again £29.50 from M&S


And whilst they're great, THESE are the best trousers bar none.  If you love them, buy two pairs as they're superb.  They are the most incredible quality for the money. 

Wide leg trousers from M&S £39.50



They also have them this season in what they call bronze but it's more of a taupe pink I would say.  Again £39.50


AND they also have them now in a green.  LOVE these ones.  Ideal with camo... I love this shade with red and black.

Wide Leg Trousers in Hunter Green from M&S £39.50


More khaki available at Topshop.  These look like the drawstring waist M&S ones. 

Tall Olive Wide Leg Trousers BUT currently on offer at £20.30  


Which they also do in a regular at Topshop £29 but again now £20.30






Higher waist now at Next - I haven't tried these but they look excellent and they come in different leg lengths.  Imperative with wide leg trousers. 

Camel Wide Trousers from Next £38


Perfection in styling at hush.  I have worn wide leg trousers for years and one of my favourite outfits I remember (yes I am THAT sad) was for a lunch with my husband years ago at Christmas.  I wore the M&S wide leg trousers, a silver sequin polo neck from H&M and a hush biker jacket.

Camila Wide Leg Trousers £79




Speaking of high waisted trousers - these from Emma Willis at Next are FABULOUS (of course sold out already in all the long sizes "insert all the eye rolling".

Black Emma Willis Wide Leg Trousers at Next £42


Black Ponte at Boden.  I love this fabric.  Super flattering, super long wearing and I also love the fact that they're not super high waisted. 

Hampshire Ponte Trousers from Boden £75 in navy  These also come in three lengths.

They also come in black and.. RED!! 

Hampshire Ponte Trousers in red from Boden £75. Again all in three lengths.





And then there are the jeans... I have been looking for a pair of these for YEARS.  

Wide leg high waist jeans from Mango in off white £49.99


And in the pale blue again Mango £49.99


Seventies style at Gerard Darel at John Lewis £155



More jeans at Topshop.  These could well work but personally I'm looking for them to pool properly on the floor like the Mango ones above which would mean they need to be a super soft drapey denim.

Mid Stone '90s Flare Jeans from Topshop were £29.99 now on offer for £23.99 The upside of these is that they do come in different lengths.

Wide leg again at Monki

Monki Nani Organic Cotton Jeans £40





Slightly different style at Vero Moda.

Vero Moda wide leg jeans with fray cuff £50


And here I am in my new ones from Zara 


Top - FWP by Rae (ADgift 2yrs ago)

Jeans - Zara (ss20)

Sandals - Birkenstock X Proenza Schouler at Net a Porter (ss20)

Bags - Anna Pugh (ss20)

Sunglasses - Accessorize (ss19)

Couple of things on my mind for the coming new season - I'm STILL going to be doing the sandals as I did promise I would and I think they're still perfect to wear well into the Autumn.  And bags... and leather leggings.  Don't ASK!  But trust me...

  2. Loved reading your blogs again!
    I'm petite and I can subscribe to your view that petites can wear wide leg trousers. I tend to go fitted on top, and stick to a tone on tone look (maybe with a jacket/ coat in a contrast colour). I also find sneakers work best for me, most other shoes are too ladylike or frumpy for me!

  4. I agree that fitted tops look better with these trousers, especially if you are petite. However, I am having a hell of a job trying to find fitted tops at the moment as most are currently oversized. Could you please do a blog on where to buy fitted tops?

  6. With all the sales over the past month, I have been buying up pants such as you have listed (even a bright red pair last Friday!). I just love the shape as it can go from dressy to relaxed simply by switching out the top and accessories. I cannot wait for your upcoming blogs as I just purchased a pair of dark, dark olive (faux)leather leggings and want to see how you style for an up to date look as opposed to Desperately Seeking Susan! Thank you for all you do.
