AGELESS STYLE: Style staples for every age
The pyjama-style co-ord is still holding firm as a fashionable favourite, but a top-to-toe printed look can be daunting. The trick is to break it up with different tops and bottoms. Bold printed trousers looks stylish worn with an elevated slouchy knit like this one from The White Company – perfect for cool summer evenings. Just add statement shoes and a bag that pick out a key colour from the print and – voilà! – you have a smart daytime look, too.

A bold print looks and feels more expensive when paired with a pale neutral top.
CUT
For optimum comfort and ease, seek out fluid cut, wider-leg trousers that won’t cling to curves.
SHOES
Platform shoes are a great way to lengthen your leg while staying comfortable.
KNITWEAR
Keep your knitwear modern and elegant by opting for arm-flattering, slouchy cap sleeves and a loose neckline.
ACCESSORIES
Sharp leather accessories with gold finishes elevate this relaxed style.
LENGTH
Try on different length trousers to see what suits your figure: a mid-calf cut can be flattering on both tall and petite frames depending on the width of the trousers.
