I just can't work this out at all! End up looking like a box.

Something that doesn't overlap the waist too far

Anything bum covering or baggy will destroy your proportions

If you're on Instagram or check out youtube for Lydia Jane Tomlinson, she's a young influencer but I find her 'how to wear' advice really good.

I wear a cropped or slim fitting jumper.

I was much thinner last time wide legs were in, and I’d wear a skinny, fine knit, not too long.

Cropped or thin enough to tuck in.

Rule of 3rds applies here

I’ve got a slim fitting cotton jumper I wear tucked in, which I think works okay.

Agree - a slimmer fitting jumper. Polo neck for cardigan can be good too.

Depends on your shape a bit though doesn’t it?

A friend of mine appeared at a New Year gathering in wide trousers and a wide but cropped jumper - she looked really enviably stylish and ‘cool’.
