If you’ve ever suspected that most fashion trends are exclusively for the very tall and very thin, we’re afraid the street-style set’s new favourite look will do little to persuade you otherwise. This fall, the Insta pack is all for a style of high-waisted, wide-leg, straight-leg (sometimes also tapered) pleated slacks known among fashion insiders as “Hepburn pants”, after their most famous wearer (Katharine, not Audrey).

* The vanilla-cream Hampton pants from Petar Petrov’s Fall ’19 lookbook are inspired by 1980’s power dressing. Crafted in Italy from wool twill, they’re cut with relaxed, pleated legs that gradually taper towards the hems. Team yours with a coordinating blazer throughout the week.
