The fashion-o-meter has shifted firmly away from figure-hugging skinnies.
This season, when it comes to our bottom halves, bigger is definitely better. So peel off those jeggings and slip on a lovely pair of wide-legged trousers.
Those embracing the hippy trend will be spoilt for choice with groovy, printed flares and brightly- patterned palazzo pants to choose from.
For a sleeker look try a neatly tailored bootcut style that hugs the derriere. Or, if you’re feeling brave, try the culotte trend.
The trick is not to swamp your figure so team with a middriff-baring crop top, belted blouse or jacket that nips in your waist.
