ME AND EM

Checked straight-leg high-rise woven trousers

Reimagining classics in a cooler, more modern way is ME + EM's forte, which is clear to see from the brand's louche tailoring. Take these trousers; doused in a traditional checked motif, this high-rise pair is cut with straight legs (think less boardroom, more bar), framed with contrast tape running down the sides. Make this your cue to pair them with platform trainers or leather ankle boots (no stilettos necessary).
