Wide leg trousers are often tricky to style due to their voluminous nature; however, Trinny's look provides some top tips on how to balance your silhouette. These trousers have a generous amount of material, which can add drama to your ensemble, and by finishing them off with a pair of your best white trainers (especially platform style), you can add height to elongate your legs.
The tucked-in shirt is crucial for adding balance to this look, and you shouldn't be afraid of pairing loose tops with wide leg trousers. A top tip is to just ensure they can be tucked in the bottom half when necessary. Plus, the added sleeveless gilet adds another layer of dimension, and the floral pattern breaks up the block colour, pulling this look together.
Another thing that really stands out about this look is the use of colour, she makes sure to accessorise the look with similar or identical shades of blue, which creates a cohesive and polished feel.
