Wide and cropped trousers

Now there's a line to strike fear into most older women's hearts:  wide cropped trousers. Last year we had ankle grazers but they were mostly straight or narrow legged.  This year, "what's trending" on Asos tells me that wide, cropped trousers/ culottes are going to be very big this summer. In more ways than one.
In the interests of research, I've been trying on a few pairs.  I fell in love with these polka dot Flamenco Hem Tailored Trousers from River Island. Most of the time, they look like a skirt. But then you can surprise everyone by showing that actually they're a trouser.

I'm wearing them with a cream short sleeved top from Marks and Spencer and polka dot sling back shoes from Miss Selfridge.

The secret to wearing wide leg crop culottes is to find a pair that end at the slimmest part of your calf. For me, longer is better, 

They're surprisingly versatile.  These polka dot beauts could be worn to work and also dressed up for the evening. They don't crease so they would be great to go in the holiday suitcase.

Next week I'll be showing you a different pair of wide leg culottes. I know it's tough having to wait, ladies :-)
