When Gwen Stefani rocks a new trend, we should seriously give it some thought. This is the woman who managed to crack the mainstream with her punk-ska style and who brought the 1950s pin-up girl look back to the forefront of fashion.
So, when I spied pictures of the No Doubt frontwoman and uber-yummy mummy sporting a pair of peg leg trousers, it immediately occurred to me that the rest of the fashion pack is set to follow.
Not only are these trousers super-chic and perfectly relevant to the androgynous power dressing look that is set to dominate trends this season, but they are also very practical for our muggy winter weather.
I know that’s a very boring and mumsy-like thought to put out there, but really, we’ll be able to slosh through London’s rainy streets and step into puddles without suffering a complete fashion meltdown on a daily basis … sounds good to me!
What was fabulous about Gwen’s trousers in particular was the high waist of course – ever so flattering and very chic indeed. But she managed to tone the tailored look down just a tad by matching her peg legs with a casual oversized T-shirt, which she cinched in at the waist with a fabulous black leather belt.
And not to forget the most important thing when it comes to these trousers – like Gwen, we should be wearing them with killer heels. Flats simply won’t do, unless you want to look like Huckleberry Finn – not a good style for anyone.
Have you any peg leg trouser tips for this season?
