Corduroypants

The 1970s trend that was absolutely everywhere this Summer doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon, especially if the big name designers' new collections are anything to go by. This pair of Ranya Corduroy Trousers from By Malene Birger take the trend firmly into the Autumn/Winter season.

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.

This Open Back Silk Jumpsuit from ASOS is a luxurious version worthy of a trip to Studio 54's legendary dancefloor.

The loose shape adds an expensive feel, with swathes of fabric that hang with effortless chic in all the right places. The slimline belt adds some much needed shape, while the plunging back flashes enough flesh without loosing the class. A wide leg and muted colours finish off a perfect piece – all that's left is to figure out how to get out.

It's available now from ASOS for £60.
