Not that I'm surprised by me picking up this particular style - I can never resist a style with a knit and wide-legged pants! Somewhere I picked up that the FW 2019/20 main trend would be to style a cardigan with wide-legged pants. Why not?! I would also add that the cardigan should have a v-neck and be slightly bold or loosely knit i e not the jumper-set type of cardigan if you see what I mean.
