Trousers: LOFT.  Shoes: Kurt Geiger (on sale!).  Bag: Alexander Wang. Or get the same bag in ivory on sale!Cuff: Pamela Love.  Jacket: Vintage. Try the beaded one on Mango. 
I notice it’s the teeny little changes in tailoring that make a difference.  I found these trousers after looking for something slim and slightly cropped.   Added my beaded vintage jacket worn back to front this time to clash vintage with smart trousers.   
These trousers were re-designed by LOFT.  They asked 10,000 women what they wanted in a pair and the results were basically what I look for: changing the angle of the rise to make it curve in at the back (no waist gaping) and re-cutting the leg to look longer and leaner.

If I find the right lean cut blazer then I’m set for a 60’s mod cut suit.

Speaking of…. a blog post of the same trousers in brogues and winklepickers will follow soon ; -)

    The cut on those pants are great. I’ve always been a big fan of their slacks.

    I like the way your pants fit! It’s always SO hard to find good black pants that fit great.

    Karen, what style/cut do you have from Loft?
