Owning a pair of ‘panel’ trousers has been on my wishlist ever since I first spotted them all over Instagram. I was particularly drawn to how they add an updated ‘look’ to the classic all black tailored trouser, with a simple strip of colour. I spotted a pair in Another Stories the other week, whilst browsing their Regent St. store and *student budget brain* got me thinking, I could d.i.y a pair myself for a fraction of the cost.
So with that thought in mind I snapped up this pair of wide leg trousers in the New Look sale (some sizes still available) and made my way up to my local Fabric Land to pick up a contrasting trimming-which came to a mere 40p a metre. I opted for a panel of red as I adore the white/black/red combo when styling. Applied with a long strip of fabric glue, because time is of the essence and why spend time sewing when fabric glue does a neater (and quicker) job. And for under £10 you have a ‘snazzy’ pair of trousers.
