Get the Annie Hall look this season from the designer fashion crowd

With the huge prevalence of tailoring and wide leg trousers in this season's biggest fashions, it's no wonder that a few celebs have been seen sporting a very androgynous look. Reminiscent of Annie Hall, this is a look I adore, but one that's hard for us mere mortals to carry off. That's why I've chosen this look with a hint of femininity, to take this style trend that's come back into fashion again and again and keep it looking sexy.

The cardigan with shirt insert is from McQ and provides a casual yet stylish way to daring androgyny with its high neck and boyish cut. The skinny sleeves make it very wearable against the loose fitting body.

I've teamed this top with Marc by Marc Jacobs slim fit jeans, instead of opting for wide legs. This makes the whole outfit much easier to wear as the boyish feel isn't so strong, and if you've got a bum worth showing off there's no reason why not to. I've finished off with a pair of Marc Jacobs suede heels. This gorgeous pair are colour co-ordinated with the top and add a bit of glam to the otherwise casual outfit, without being over the top and girly.

Marc Jacobs Suede Platform pumps, £257

Pencil skirts for every occasion from Topshop

I adore pencil skirts so very much. There's nothing sexier than what you don't show in my opinion, and this is one iconic shape that's currently very much the height of fashion. Thankfully for us who adore the pencil skirt that means there are just so very many options out there.

These are from Topshop's extensive collection of skirts and each departs from the classic black to give a little twist that's still true to the original elegance. The Super Sexy Satin pencil skirt (left) is available in black and this gorgeous shade of red. Definitely the choice for a glamourous occasion, this isn't one for wallflowers. The Flannel version (centre) is a great take on the shape that allows it to become essential day wear. Dress this one up or down to feed your need for a striking silhouette 24/7. Finally, the Subtle Check does exactly as the name suggests. A sexy secretary look that will work with almost every outfit and accessory. If you're more inclined toward the classic, check out Topshop's plain black version online.
