How do you elongate your figure? It’s a style question that comes up season after season – especially in my case, as I’m 5ft2. Comfort is key, and for those days when I don’t want to wear platform heels, I’ve found the perfect summer trousers to make me look taller: flared pants with vertical stripes. The best bit? The style is bang on trend.

This summer, it’s all about striped trousers in the most cheerful shades. Look to Sofia de Moser Leitão, who’s fallen for a pair from Mango’s Simon Miller collaboration in a zesty combination of blue and lemon, or check out Blanca Miró’s La Veste label for orange striped pairs that will match your aperitivo perfectly.
