Wide legged trousers and flat shoes

Wide legged trousers, vest and sneakers: what a style statement! I usually like to wear my loose cut pants and fitted vest with flat sandals or ballerinas in the summertime, but the look is even edgier paired with sneakers, which means I’m going to embrace the latter version more often. As for evening wear, I couldn’t envision a more significant example than this stunning Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati jumpsuit worn with, yes, flat sandals – the essence of chic. I should probably also mention that the white suit is Ralph Lauren. There is always a sense of timelessness in Ralph’s designs.

    Love the first suit look and the sandals in the second look. I used to wear a wide legged pant suit with sneakers a few years ago inspired by the european edge it gives. One of my favourite flat sandals is a pair of Prada sandals with a beautiful embroidered cord detail on the top. Perfect with a wide legged pant too. I do love those woven YSL sandals though! :)x

    First option is fabulous and the second one is very classy. I also like to wear this kind of trousers with flats or ballerinas! Hope you had a wonderful day off too, Ada. XXX

    I just love that all white look Magdelena is wearing. I usually wear wide legged trousers with flat pointy shoes to elongate my legs but I’m intrigued by the sneaker look. Will have to give it a shot 🙂 xoxo

    I knew it was a Ralph Lauren! So classic. I love that the YSL was styled with flats. Why not, right? 😀
