It's safe to say this hasn't been the summer we were hoping for, but Andi Oliver has embraced what's set to be the wettest season on record by rocking a stylish pair of waterproof trousers.
This week, Andi took to instagram to showcase a her wide leg, cargo style trousers with a glossy sheen. Andi referred to them in a caption as her 'Missy Elliot trousers' and posted a selection of snaps modelling her fab look.
Long gone are the days when practical wear meant purely functional and completely unaesthetic. Now, there are plenty of options for items which stand up to the elements, while looking stylish at the same time.
To style the trousers, Andi added a bold cobalt blue knitted jumper and a pair of white trainers. A gold chain and her signature glasses were the perfect accessorises to finish the look.
Andi's exact trousers appear to be the Cargo Rain Pants Wide which are £105 from Rains and are available in three colour options.
