@tamaramoryStyle Notes: One of the main problems I encountered when styling my wide-leg trousers was that I didn’t think to embrace them casually. This, however, is how French women prefer to style theirs—often with trainers and casual accessories, such as baseball caps, which give the polished staple a whole new aesthetic.
Navy coats are just as versatile as their camel counterparts.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: I love the fact that looks made up of black and white clothes are trending right now, mainly because it’s a colour combination that never fails to look premium. It’s particularly useful, then, when it comes to styles you’re tentative about—in this case, the wide-leg trouser trend.

@basicstouchStyle Notes: Personally, I’ve never really embraced the slouched-clothes look. I’m curvy and typically wear silhouettes that nip in at the waist. But it’s not lost on me just how chic they can be, so I’ll be taking a leaf out of Aïda’s book by wearing my wide-leg trousers with some oversized outerwear—this Jigsaw trench being the perfect accompaniment.
Reiss is serving up some of the best wide-leg trousers on the high street.
These will look just as chic with dresses as they do wide-leg trousers.

@vikilefevreStyle Notes: If you’ve read any of Who What Wear’s stories analysing French style in the past, then you’ll know the knitted cardigan is an integral part of the French woman uniform. It may not seem like the most obvious choice for pairing with wide-leg trousers, but as Anne-Victoire proves, it works.
I’m tempted to snap these up just in time for winter.

@lenafarlStyle Notes: When I’m outfit-prepping for a night out, it’s all too easy to default to dresses and skirts. In the mood for a change for my next after-dark outing, I’m prioritising wide-leg trousers, which I’ve noticed French women often reach for when they’re heading out for dinner and/or drinks. A pair like Léna’s will keep things suitably glam.

@juliesfiStyle Notes: One of the styling tricks most favoured by French women has to be wearing one colour from top to toe. Here, by sticking to a palette of camels and browns, Julia’s outfit looks expensive. Finished with white trainers and a crossbody bag, this ensemble perfectly surmises the effortless aesthetic French women are largely known for.
