let’s take a look at some of the CLASSIC TROUSER STYLES that I find hanging up in most of my girls’ wardrobes.
Gok’s FIT TIPS
STRAIGHT TROUSERS
1. Flat-fronted straights will work wonders on my girls who prefer to keep their midriff under wraps, as they can streamline the tummy area.
2. Defined front seams will elongate straight legs, but juicy girls beware: if the seams stretch and flatten across the hips, it can focus attention on this area.
3. Pinstripe trousers can do wonders for curvy shapes by drawing the eye right round them. They can also make legs look longer.

WHEN IT COMES TO TAILORED BLACK TROUSERS, STRAIGHT LEGS CAN REALLY LENGTHEN THOSE PINS, SO WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE? Straight doesn’t necessarily mean straightforward, though, and because there are quite a few different options, it’s worth looking at whether the ones you wear are working well for you. As is always the way, ladies, when making your classic pieces work to suit your shape, it all comes down to detail. So check the waistband and leg style (straight cuts vary slightly in width), and follow my ‘Fit Tips’ for the best straights to suit your shape.
· CITY SLICKER
It doesn’t take long to make these simple staples into a super-stylish office get-up, whatever your age or shape. Just pair with a plain black fitted shirt, add a classic black or tan belt with a smart metal buckle (gold or silver will work) to define the waist, slip on a pair of statement flats (pumps with jewels or buckles on) and hang a classic black jacket casually over your shoulders for that ever-elegant European chic. Or, for a sharper look, slip on a sumptuously silky vest top (wear a slouchy fine-knit cardie over that if you don’t like the tops of your arms on show), turn up your trousers to the ankle and slip on some power heels. Accessorise with a scarf or necklaces. Whichever route you choose, darling divas, style central is your destination.

· BLACK NIGHTS
When it comes to dressing for evening or putting together an easy office-to-party look, black slim pants are the wings of any social butterfly. To make your work trousers say ‘fashion-week chic’, just slip on one of your black silky blouses and wrap a super-wide belt (at least 6 inches) between the waistband of your trousers and your bust. A sequined belt or a classic cummerbund will do. (I always find them in charity shops.) No one will ever know you are wearing your work trousers, while the wide belt will elongate your mid-section beautifully. Just kick off your flats, jump into your heels and you’ve given these pants a super-sultry evening spin.
Gok’s FIT TIP-
WIDE-LEG TROUSERS
1. Watch out for pleating and drawstring styles, as they can add bulk to your tummy.
2. Wide pants will work wonders on my lovely pear-shaped girls, especially if the trouser waistline is ever so slightly high.
3. Wide pants are a great option for my older girls—they say smart, sophisticated and just the right side of sexy.

NOTHING SAYS OLD-STYLE GLAMOUR LIKE WIDE-LEG PANTS: THEY NEVER, EVER DATE. They can be worn at any age and just ooze the kind of easy elegance that says, ‘effortless glamour’. They appear on the catwalks every season and have earned their status as a classic style statement. Whether high-waisted low-slung pyjama pants or tailored fit and flare, they can speak volumes about your style. But, ladies, there is one absolutely crucial style tip when it comes to wide pants: they should never be a millimetre too short. Ultimately, they should skim the bottom of your heel (without trailing). Hems shorter than this will shorten your frame, too.
· THE SLOUCH
This casual-chic option is a great choice for all my sexy slims, leggy lovelies or pear-shaped beauties. With its long, flowing feel, this pyjama-pant style is perfect for summer parties, or for promenading along the beachfront in sunnier climes. The best wide cuts for this are flat-fronted styles with side pockets. Wear with a fitted top—a simple vest is the perfect partner (a stripy twin set would also look the business), then pile on big chunky bangles up your wrists for contemporary Chanel-style chic.
