Yellow Flared Trousers from Dorothy Perkins
A defining moment for 20th century fashion was the influence of traditionally menswear-based techniques and styles on the wardrobes of women everywhere. Taking tailoring into a whole new area, the best retro fashion can often be seen in andorgynous items like these Yellow Flared Trousers from Dorothy Perkins.
The combination of a high waistline and flared legs creates an instantly recognisable 70s style, with the ironed pleats creating a chic formality. Using a bold yellow shade is undeniably vintage inspired, with this pair opting for a soft yellow that makes the pair a little bit easier to pull off.

The use of a red wine shade of corduroy packs an instant retro punch, while flared wide-legs that kick from the hip create an instant 70s silhouette. The high waistline and fitted hips ensure these are unmistakeable in their inspiration.
