Muddy Stilettos


<p>If you’ve found yourself browsing for waistcoats, out-sized blazers and wide-legged, tailored trousers recently, you’re not alone. Stores are awash with menswear-inspired style, from pinstripe shirts to pleated Bermuda shorts, and we can’t get enough of it.</p>

<p>Though the real pioneer of the look was Diane Keaton way back in Woody Allen’s 70s comedy <em>Annie Hall</em>, celebs like Gigi Hadid and Hayley Bieber have been dedicated to the craze in recent years. And the cool crowd at this year&#8217;s Oscar’s were rocking pinstripes and blazers (oh hey French film director Justine Triet, dressed in Louis Vuitton) and no wonder &#8211;  universally flattering, the look suits all sizes and totally practical. Shall we shop?</p>
