Virginia Chadwyck-Healey is ready to sit inside at her local pub

Step inside, the pub is open… and this time you can stay inside! We no longer need to dress like an Arctic explorer. The pretty shirts and flattering knits you shopped for during lockdown can now be revealed! However, I’m going to say (hand on heart) I will miss the duffle coat shrouding me as I enjoy another bite of sticky toffee pudding outdoors (hot sponge puddings were a must, you understand). There’ll be far less warming limoncello at the end of a crisp night, no more reclining into the hot-water bottle propping you up. Inside, you have to sit up a little bit taller; inside you have to watch your conversation volume levels (but let’s not forget that inside just feels less akin to a camping ordeal).
Why it’s right for now: Throughout lockdown, we were all dressing to be seen from the waist up. Statement earrings, collared blouses, padded headbands – items that could add some impact to one’s appearance on video calls sold especially well for high street retailers. But now the bottom half is back. As we reunite with friends and family, it’s time to seize the opportunity to remind them that you do have legs. Let bold, wide-leg trousers and fun printed skirts be the focal point of all outfits going forward.
How to wear it: These wide-leg cotton Numie trousers come in a rich sunflower colour and have a gentle paper-bag waist tied with a belt. Whatever top you choose needs to be tucked in to allow these features to be seen and to give the illusion of longer legs.
