The most-wanted item along the British front row now? Not the usual designer handbag or in-the-know tailoring, but a pair of M&S trousers that won’t land in store or online until early November. What could possibly be so special about them, you may wonder? Well, they cost £199 and are made from silver leather.
If beige is the new black and leopard print is a new neutral, perhaps it makes total sense that, in fashion-land at least, silver leather trousers are the new jeans. Scoff all you like, but it would be safest to do so while putting a reminder in your phone and sharpening your elbows because this lot know how to jostle.
I can hear you now: snuck-snuck, as if. Not for you
