www.womanthismonth.com March 2016 29 These kind of pants are a contemporary interpretation of the bell bottoms, so popular in the ‘60s and the beginning of ‘70s. The winter collections found inspiration in this style and the new summer shows also feature it heavily. Embrace this modern twist for an updated look. Going for black and white helps make the style less hippie chic and more classy. To highlight the beatnik influence, choose accessories such as a wide-brim hat, an ethnic top and platform sandals. Striped black and white trousers are a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe, which can be paired with an array of patterns to take you from very casual to a refined look. Wide-leg trousers find their perfect match in a great pair of high heels, however you can also team them with cool trainers or slip-ons for a more casual look. The cropped cut is best when going for this kind of footwear. You can opt for a longer style, but it won’t look as summery and stylish. This cut is also the best choicer for shorter ladies as the high waist and vertical stripes give the illusion of longer legs. This outfit is a great option for disguising a bit of a tum, just pick a tighter top such as the one in the picture, with some loose fabric around the tummy area. MODE RELAXED HIPPIE FLAIR 1.
