FLARED: The corset detail will nip in your waist while the flared shape will give your figure an hourglass look.


Longer hemlines will provide coverage, while modern cuts can give your look a stylish update.

Whether you keep it classic in a fitted pencil style or stay on-trend with an aysmmetric shape, give trousers a break.
