Bengaline Belted Flare Trouser - black

Flared leg cut from the knee down, creating a clean kick that sweeps just past the ankle without excess volume. Attached wide belt with eyelet hardware detail - a statement waist finish that means no separate accessorising required. The viscose-blend fabric carries a soft drape and cool handfeel, skimming the body through the hip before releasing into the flare. High-rise waist sits smooth and flat at the front, keeping the silhouette long and uninterrupted from waist to hem. The stretch in the fabric gives enough give to move freely, so these wear as comfortably at midnight as they do at the start of the night. The eyelet belt is the detail that sets these apart from a standard flare trouser - it draws the eye straight to the waist and does the work of an outfit's focal point on its own. The leg shape does the rest, elongating the silhouette with that gradual kick from the knee. The fabric skims rather than clings, so the overall effect is sharp without feeling restrictive. Style them as the model does here: a strappy crop top tucked or left loose lets the high waist and belt take centre stage, finished with strappy heeled sandals to keep the length working in your favour. For a night out or drinks with friends, swap the cami for a going-out top in a bold print and let the trouser stay as the anchor piece. These hit the right note when you want to look put-together without looking like you tried too hard.
