FASHION UPDATE

Flare up!

 
If skinny jeans give you nightmares and make it impossible to breathe in this sweltering heat, have no fear. Embrace the wide-legged trouser: this season's favourite that has popped up everywhere and is being worn by fashionistas with flair. The trousers are incredibly comfortable since they are designed to be a loose-fit on your legs until they flare out at the bottom. Pair them with your favourite lawn tunics and kaftans, or wear them as separates with tank tops and t-shirts. Designers who have embraced the trend include Sadaf Malaterre, who showed her collection at the Pond's / Ensemble show, Jamie Abidi, who put out a great pair of formal white trousers in her spring/summer collection, and Feeha Jamshed for Teejays, whose latest collection has just hit stores and model Fayeza Ansari has been spotted wearing her pair of black floor length pants from Teejays quite often.
