Trousers
COS is probably my favourite high street store. I love the simple designs and clean lines. It is also the place to go for loose shapes, and for the use of cotton in a lot of the collection, which is perfect for this heatwave we are currently experiencing.
Wide trousers have been everywhere for the last few seasons. However, this season has seen them get higher with a pleated waist and a tie, to create a 'paper bag' look. They are a great alternative to a skirt in the hot weather, and many border on being a culotte as they are very wide at the bottom.
So they're not for everyone I admit, but for those of you that are skinny jean wearers, leather trousers are certainly worth a go!
We all love jeans, we trust jeans, they're always there in case of emergency when you can't think of anything else to wear. We have our comfy pair, our going out pair but not all of us have a coloured pair. This needs to change!
This month we are really loving coloured jeans. Perfect for the summer months, great for injecting some colour into your wardrobe and perfect working the colour blocking trend. Topshop, J Brand and Current/Elliot all have a fab selection on offer right, peep our favourites below:
The budget-friendly option of trying out coloured jeans: Topshop's jeans come in a variety of colours, the majority of which come in at £38 each.
Rachel Stevens has been seen out and about in her red jeans quite a bit lately - so much so that the Daily Mail even dedicated an article to them! Topshop's red pair are £38 and come with turned up hems for a cropped, summery look.
Ease yourself into the trend by just going a notch up the colour palette, opting for purple wash jeans as opposed to regular indigo. This pair aren't an in-your-face, immature girly-girly shade and also may be slightly easier to work into your usual wardrobe. Also £38 from Topshop.
Our last pick from Toppers is this peach pair. An absolutely gorgeous soft shade, we'd love to pair it with a semi-sheer blush coloured shirt for a bit of colour clashing (the good kind, of course). £40 from Topshop.
Love the trend and want to invest? Here's two we fell in love with:

We just cannot stop staring at these electric blue jeans from J Brand! Make a bold statement in these jeans, £205 from net-a-porter.

From a bold blue to this sweet candyfloss pink pair of jeans from Current/Elliot. Perfect for teaming with a leather jacket to soften it up a little, we also love how net-a-porter have styled it with a striped tee, £165 from net-a-porter.
