I'm always looking for stylish cropped trousers for the summer, both white and black, and I've hit the jackpot with this stylish pair from Hope. Made in Italy, these wide legged trousers are part of Hope's Power Foundation range, with bonded fabric and an elegant pin-tuck which leaves a razor-sharp fold through the front of the legs.
What's also cool is that Hope offer these trousers in two lengths, and even free alterations if those aren't hitting the spot.
If you're not familiar with the brand, Hope is a British company founded by Nayna McIntosh when she was in her 50s. The latest range seems to be a lot more fashion-forward: previously I wasn't tempted to buy anything because most of the clothes seemed to be "cover ups" which I think often make us look bigger. But now they have a very tempting selection, and the good quality means that these clothes travel well and don't always need ironing.
I always love polka dots and this top - well over 10 years old - and kitten heels - creates a fuss-free work wear look. Black and white is always my go-to for work attire when I don't want to think about it. The sunglasses are from River Island. I only used to wear Ray-Bans but I now buy a couple of fashion pairs each summer.
Here I'm wearing them with an orangey-red: a top with statement sleeves that was a real steal from Florence and Fred last year, and sandals from Marks and Spencer (also last year's). Pearls have always been one of my trademarks, but instead of layering up chunky pearls I'm now wearing them in longer necklaces, which is more modern - th
ese are from Mango. In a nod to the leopard print fashion, I'm wearing a thin belt - but this is one trend that will soon behind us. Snakeskin has taken over.
The sunglasses from Vow London have red frames which go well with the top. The red bag is out of stock but this one is
similar.
