Plus: Why the Met Gala had all of Karl Lagerfeld’s signature motifs
 |  |  | By Lisa Armstrong
HEAD OF FASHION | | | If, like me, you’ve given up waiting for spring to arrive before you start wearing lighter clothes you’ve probably contemplated skirts, which have made a convincing comeback on the catwalks lately, especially pencil skirts.
They might sound daunting, but there’s a shape for every body – from high waisted and hourglass-accentuating to slouchier and hip skimming. The reward is something sophisticated yet easy for the day that can be easily switched up for a very polished evening look. Check out our guide here.
Alternatively, perhaps you’re exploring the wonderful world of white or cream trousers or flirting with bare ankles – and concluding it’s all just a bit too high maintenance.
The right white or cream trousers are an instant reviver. They’d better be washable though, or you’ll never want to sit down. A more user-friendly alternative that still has a glow-up effect is navy mixed with a lot of white (and some tan accessories)…classic but somehow always fresh. Perhaps if enough of us dress for spring we can actually manifest one.
Enjoy!
