Tailored trousers + t-shirt

I am into t-shirts with elegant “bottoms” lately. Plain t-shirts if the skirt/trousers are printed, or graphic t-shirts if “legs” are one colour. Since I have already done a post about the skirt combination ( here ), here is the trousers version:

I love this picture, it’s me, not really me as such, but it is my style. A little masculine.

Anyhow, I searched the internet as usual for affordable clothes to recreate the look…

I actually have a great tee, which my husband won through Virgin Radio and is far too big for him, so I have taken possession of it!!

 

 

 

The t-shirt: must be the classic T shaped one, oversized, so get a man’s one, short sleeves and round neck. Also, I quite like the “logo” ones in this look but not strictly designer, it can be something funny, something you picked up in one of your travels or one with the name of a radio station for example!!  I prefer it black and white or vice versa. There’s something else, the fabric, although it must be cotton, it also needs to be a light jersey that falls nicely… Here’s my choice:

The trousers: white (not transparent please!!!), flawy material, loose and possibly quite long.

Shoes don’t really matter that much as the trousers should fall in a way that will hide them but, if I were to say a style here’s what I’d wear:

Gorgeous! Love the colour, love the suit. The lipstick just brings it to life.

Here are a few ideas in case you love it too but don’t have anything in that shade of grey, although I would certainly go to a shop for a perfect match, rather than on-line. I take it you already own a red lipstick…

Statement midi skirt + white t-shirt

I bought a skirt a couple of days ago. I hadn’t set out to buy one but I was in one of those outlets where you do an awful lot of walking, I needed to stop for a while, so I went into a shop… as one does in order to rest! Anyway, I was not looking for anything specific, better not in a place like that, and I happened to come across a rather gorgeous skirt. Beautiful slightly shiny cotton, sits on the waist and opens up with wide non ironed pleats, length just under my knees. It was love at first sight! It’s by Patrizia Pepe. Mine is black but I would love one with a floral print as well (I especially like the Hobbs tulip one). Here are some I prepared earlier:

 

If you prefer to stick to black or anyway a dark colour here are some:

This last one looks very much like mine…

I am going to wear it with a simple white t-shirt and flat mules (I am very slightly taken by them!!! I think I will probably just wear them all summer!!)
