Trend Watch - Tapered Trousers as seen on Victoria Beckham

Tapered trousers have been around for a few seasons now, but I’ve not seen too many people adopt the look as part of their workwear attire.

At the recent Viva Forever launch, a new musical West End show written by Jennifer Saunders that features most of the Spice Girl songs, Victoria Beckham wore tapered trousers. Now for this type of evening out, I’m a little surprised she wasn’t a little more dressed up, that said, her look inspired me to go and try some on!!

If you are loving this look, here are a few pointers to bear in mind to get the look just right:

The idea of this style is that you show a little ankle, the length you are looking for is to get to around your ankle bone, as when you sit down they will rise slightly.
Before selecting your shoes think about the hosiery that you might wear; the best look is to wear nothing however it’s a little cold for that just now, so opt for nude but if you really have the need to wear black then perhaps invest in a pattern style that breaks up the heavy block denier. If you do opt for the latter then ideally stick to flat shoes!
Now for the fun part – there are lots of different shoes you can consider for you look, mid-high court shoes. You could consider brogues or patent flat shoes – or even opt for winter styles of sandals or wedges. But I personally would avoid boots, especially any boot that goes above the ankle!
If you wish to avoid increasing the width of your hips, then don’t opt for a style with pockets.

I haven’t yet worn mine, but I know they are going to look great for the office, I will be wearing mine with black patent mid-high pointy shoes.

I’ve checked out a few for you to consider:
