Happy Friday!

I’m madly packing for a last-minute trip to the U.S. to help S look at colleges, so it’s going to be short and sweet this week.

Pinterest Picks

I keep finding all sorts of wonderful wide-legged trouser images like our new Cannes Wide-Legged Trousers to share with you! I love this one worn with the matching vest, which you could easily make with our Lisette for Butterick B6901/B6902 pattern.

Also, I want to make the Sintra Halter Dress with a toile-printed silk! So beautiful.

Here’s another vest with wide trousers. The key to wearing this trouser style is balance: something narrow/fitted on top balances the width of the trouser legs. If you’re wearing something bulkier or boxy like a jacket with the trousers, make sure the jacket is cropped. Waist definition, like the shirt with the open jacket, keeps this from being too boxy and bulky.

With a fitted tee is also a really easy and relaxed way to wear these trousers. I love this look, and you can do it with long sleeves, too.

Cute, right?
