'Tis the season for covering up, and what better way to do it than with some of Monki’s trendiest trousers, all with 20% off until Sunday 26th September.
If you're on the hunt for a pair of new season trousers that will a) flatter your waistline, b) lengthen your legs and c) slot seamlessly into both your work and weekend wardrobe, then congratulations: your search is officially over. While wide leg trousers are nothing new - the Palazzo pant has been doing the rounds since the 1930’s, this supersize silhouette has proven itself to be one of autumn’s top trends - and for very good reason.
Let’s start with the science behind the design. It all begins with the high waistband: by sitting at the midpoint in our bodies, it not only nips you in just-so for an ultra-defined waist, in starting so much higher than your regular trouser, it also creates the illusion of legs for days. Then it also slims your overall silhouette - and flatters the waistline further - by creating volume at the legs that balances out proportions. Not bad.
Add to that the flurry of fabric options available to choose from such as cord, denim and wool - not to mention the variety of colours and prints including trending orange, pink, check, stripe and floral - and you’ve got yourself a key trouser contender for just about every occasion going. Think classic black and rich camel tones, brought to life in soft-to-the-touch corduroy, worn with a skinny roll neck for the office. Denim gets reinvented with cropped lengths, contrast stitches and cool colours. Wide strides in peppy prints, styled with a plain white tee, are the perfect give your weekend look an instant autumn update.
But just where-oh-where do we go to find these fantasy trousers? Hands down, it has to be Monki who have taken to the trend like no other. Better still, they’re giving a whopping 20% off their already reasonable prices so you can get your wardrobe ready for trouser weather without having to break the bank.
