Prêt-à-rapporter: hideously unflattering, cropped linen trousers are doing women no favours, says Sarah Mower.
There are few more ineluctable truths than the fact that cropped linen trousers, or any variant upon them, are, without exception, hideously unflattering. Ask even a supermodel to step into these baggy, drawstring-waisted, bum-and-calf-magnifying monstrosities, and you'd have the gratification of making her look broad-beamed and stumpy.
