The trick with trousers is balance. Pair wide-leg trousers with a fitted top to keep the shape clean, or tuck an oversized T-shirt into high-waisted tailored styles for a sharper look. Cargos love a cropped tee and trainers, while flares work best with a slight heel for an elongated look.
Leggings are the easiest layer you own. Black leggings sit under almost anything, but ribbed and seamless finishes bring a bit of depth and texture to your look.
