Are skinny jeans coming back?

Yes, kind of. The new “skinny” is a slim-straight, a little more relaxed through the calves, like a slim or straight-leg jean from 2020.

What colour suit should I buy first?

Navy! It works for interviews, weddings and dinners, with brown or black shoes, or dressed down with a T-shirt. Above all, get it tailored.

Can I wear white jeans in winter?

Yes, but make sure they’re heavier and pair them with boots and a sweater so they don’t feel summery.

What shoes work with wide-leg trousers if I’m 5′2″?

Shoes with a heel. They should slightly graze the floor so that the toe just peeks out. You want to accentuate the length to look tall.
