Seen on the runways of Paul Smith, Lanvin and Philip Lim, to name but a few, super-sized trews are fast becoming a hit with the a-listers.
As soon as we spotted style maven, Jessica Alba debuting white wide-leg trousers just a few weeks ago while out and about in NYC, we knew it wouldn't take long for the trend to pick up some pace.
Jennifer Lopez and songstress, Jessie J have followed suit as we anticipated and have been quick to jump on the fashion-wagon by trying out the must-have trend.
Skinny trousers have held court for years now and while they'll never go out of style, we'll be investing in pants with a little more drama this winter.
It may seem like an intimidating trend to wear but there are a few key secrets to pulling them off with ease...
1.Avoid extra volume looking shapeless by wearing your trousers high on the waist.
-
Tuck your top in to create a waist and streamlined silhouette.
3.Wear with heels to elongate your legs for a glam night out.
Take a style lesson from the celebs and see how to work the trend 3 ways, for work, day and night.
Make like, Jessica and team wide-leg pants with a smart shirt tucked in and midi-heels for a day at the office. Finished the look with an oversized tote and roll your sleeves for extra fashion kudos.
The super-sized bottoms make for a perfect alternative to your LBD for a night out, as demonstrated by Jennifer Lopez. Team dark high-waisted styles with a crop top and skyscraper heels. If you're conscious of your tum opt for a silk cami instead or cover-up with an over-sized blazer like Jen. Finish with a chunky cuff and box clutch.
Want a more laid back look? Jessie's take on the trend is perfect for a lunch date with the girls. If you're tall ditch the heels and opt for jewelled flats - be sure to roll the hem up to your ankle. Brighten up the monochrome colour palette with a colour pop bag.
Nab the look for less with the two styles below that we're lusting after on the high street.
