There’s something undeniably cool about wide-leg trousers. Classically chic and understated, a good pair will always make you feel well put together. The key is finding the right fit for your style and body shape. If you’re petite then a stack or angled block heel adds length to your legs and saves your hems being trodden into the ground. A Cuban-heel cowboy boot is handy under a wide cut for extra height. Or look for a cropped or ankle-skimming style that will fit shorter heights as full length. Alternatively, get a pair tailored – any dry cleaner will be able to take up to the required height. But remember a few inches of pooling fabric over a trainer, worn with a slouchy sweater (as seen at the Row) adds to the laidback look, so altering is not always necessary.
