Harem pants: You either love 'em, or hate 'em (though I think there are plenty more haters of the low-crotch look this season).
These shiny, pleather harem pants are from River Island's Graduate Fashion Week capsule collection and are featured on the toned gams of Amber Le Bon.
"There are some great items to look out for including a pair of PVC harem trousers (pictured above), a body con LWD (Little White Dress), an Agyness-inspired coloured cardi, plus more," Catwalk Queen explains.
The collection, which clearly took a lot of inspiration from the 80s and 90s with baggy pants, denim skirts and overall grungy-chic styles, will be available in July.
