The angelic brilliance of crisp whites and linen creams embraced this season’s catwalks as ambitiously as their colour block counterparts, and there’s only one way we want to wear them.

The new black in fashion editors’ wardrobes and channelling heady Seventies glamour with a modern twist, wide leg trousers in shades of white and ecru exude versatility and effortless chic, making them a must-have investment for the style conscious.

Enter Calvin Klein Collection’s Grover silk-blend wide leg pants. Despite the lofty couture price tag of £1,570, it’s difficult to dismiss the luxurious strides we could take in a pair of these all summer.

Take them from minimalist to maximalist by pairing with a brightly hued T-shirt, contrasting wedges and round sunnies, or, embrace Parisian chic by wearing with a tucked in Breton stripe jumper and wooden heels.

But for those of us not blessed with a clothing allowance resembling Anna Dello Russo’s, Maxmara is our spring saviour. Cashing in on a less pricey version with an equal footing in the style stakes, Maxmara’s linen wide leg trousers deliver the perfect punch to brighten up your spring wardrobe.

Brave an airy white out by teaming clean lines with differing shades of white, or wear with bold hues and plenty of bravado.

Either way, you’ll be looking undeniably chic. Now, will you save or splurge?
