We’ve had a taste of the sun, now we don’t want it to stop!
The gorgeous Easter weekend took us by a bit of a surprise, where we pulled out last summer’s wardrobe in an effort to keep cool in the sun. However, fashion changes so quick some of our pieces felt outdated!
With that in mind, we wanted to stock up with some stylish, cool and timeless pieces we can pull out whenever the sun shines. One thing we, and you, love, is a gorgeous pair of cropped trousers. They keep us cool without unveiling too much of our legs, and are easy to style with any outfit!
It can be difficult to find the perfect cropped jeans or cropped trousers, so we’ve found some of our effortless favourites to save you the hassle. Whether you’re looking for chic linens, or suitcase-friendly denim and cotton materials, take a look at our favourites this year now.
The Culottes
Culottes have reached style heights over the last few years, and their chic look has no intention of leaving our wardrobes any time soon. From vintage 1930s silhouettes, to cooling linen designs, culottes look equally chic with sandals and a t-shirt to stylish heels and a pretty blouse.
