Zeliha Trouser
“I’m normally a sundress kind of girl, but I have recently embraced wide-leg trousers and I’m enjoying the easy-breezy feel they bring to an outfit. This pair is definitely at the top of my summer shopping list. I love the fruity holiday-esque print, and the swishy fabric combined with a high cut, belted waist makes them flattering too. There’s a matching shirt available, but I think I will keep it simple and team these with a plain tee and chunky sandals,” says style editor Matilda Stanley.
