“Wear them with an element of fun and don’t take them too seriously.”

FLARED PANTS

Wide-leg pants have been flapping around in our fashion periphery for a while but proper 70s-style fit-and-flare designs are where it’s at, according to brands like Gucci and Ellery. The man-repelling trouser is all about exaggerated proportions – perfect for showing off a killer shoe.

“I’m massively in favour of the return of the flared pant, in fact, I’ve just packed a pair to take on a fashion trip,” says Lindsey Holland, style blogger of ropesofholland.com.

“I’ll be wearing mine with a slogan T-shirt tied in a knot at the front and a leather biker jacket, probably with Vans to dress them down.”

Keep the top half of your silhouette form-fitting to really flaunt your flare to the max.

CHOKERS

There’s no bigger 90s throwback than a choker necklace. Channel your inner Cher Horowitz with the biggest statement trend to hit your jewellery box.

Wear ‘em big and bold, or dainty and layered for a party on your neck. Steer clear of the faux henna tattoo choker and decorate your neck with simple black velvet for a nod to grunge.

“Who didn’t wear chokers the first time around?” says Connie Nam, founder and CEO of Astrid & Miyu. “It’s such a versatile piece and an instant way to update an outfit.”

Make your choker the main event by easing back on the rest of your bling. Connie advises: “Keep it simple – if you’re wearing a choker, keep other accessories from your collarbone up, like earrings, fairly minimal and stack up your rings instead.”

MULES

Newsflash: all the best shoes are missing backs right now. Slip-on mules are a shoe maven’s dream – and chiropodists nightmare…

“Mules are simple and elegant and go with just about anything,” says Giorgina Renken, senior brand manager at Fashionette.co.uk. “My favourite has got to be the floral mules by Gucci.”
