The Daily Fashion Buzz - The Trouser Chapter

Trousers are back and they’re having a moment, but will you go bright, cropped or patterned? We show you how to wear the
5 hottest styles of the season.

From Charlie Girl chic to Bianca Jagger glamour, wide-legged trousers defined the 1970s. Back for 2011 rework the look with these zingy yellow Sportmax numbers. Stay true to their modern tailored edge by teaming with soft neutrals and a streamlined top.

Looking for a classic? Then keep it straight. In their nude palette Theory’s dusty rose are just the ticket for cool office dressing. Team with a lean jacket and add a heel for the most flattering silhouette.

The most versatile style on the block, the cropped trouser is your 24/7 wardrobe failsafe and the ultimate trend canvas this spring. Wear with sandals, block heels, wedges, flats... you name it, the cropped trouser just works.

So seventies, so luxe! M Missoni’s slouchy lurex leggings prove that skinnies can still work in the midst of the wide leg
revolution. The easiest way to work a Studio 54 vibe, simply add a relaxed blazer and a flash of disco gold.
