Designers and fashion labels have begun introducing size diversity to collections, giving women more options other than baggy A-line dresses and drawstring waistbands.

Dandy in denim: Lucky Brand

Jeans can be the trickiest item to rock. The wrong fit can make you look frumpy or cut inches off your frame. But some brands, like Lucky Brand, specialises in denimwear that’s trendy, functional, and most importantly, flattering. The Bridgette Overall brings to mind a 70s vibe, with a retro high rise waist that adds inches to limbs. A cropped leg adds a dash of modern dandy. 

The Bridgette Overall is available on luckybrand.com.
