Pick of the High Street: Trousers at Zara



From the small selection on their website, you’d be forgiven for thinking Zara have only a few pairs on trousers available this season. Just these two in fact. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the first pair look worryingly like that dreadful skirt attached over trousers trend that was popular in 1998. I could be wrong, it could just be straps or something. They’re £35.

Secondly, these high waisted numbers. Available in black or grey, they are £55 and are 88% wool, so should keep you cosy should the cold weather ever make a reappearance.

I like Zara, I do, but I find their sizing annoying (Mexican, US or S,M,L where the L equates to about a size 10/12!) and the width of the trouser legs is narrow, to say the least. The do have long lengths in trousers but as the lengths are helpfully not labelled, it’s a case of try it on and see.

  1. totally agree about the sizing - so depressing and off putting
