Q: I am finding it difficult to find trousers to suit me. I am not very bottom heavy, but I have put on some weight on my stomach and find it hard to disguise this. Have you any suggestions for some trousers I could wear to work?
A: You need to look for wide-legged trousers with a wide waistband sitting just an inch below your belly button in a flowing fabric. Look for pockets or buttons at the back or/and sides to create volume on the bum and hips. This type of pants can be hard to find. Look for labels like Gardeur, Taifun, and Olsen (available at Nestors, Garments, or Treasure Chest ). On the high street try A/Wear and Oasis.
