Faith Nketsi has made a case for wide-leg trousers in a look that balances a voluminous bottom half with a fitted cropped top.

The South African media personality wore high-waisted, wide-leg trousers in a deep chocolate-brown shade. The trousers feature pleats at the waist and fall loosely through the legs, creating a long, relaxed shape. Their high waist also sits neatly against the cropped top.

She paired the trousers with a black sleeveless crop top featuring a high, folded neckline. The top is fitted through the upper body and ends above the waist, leaving a narrow section of midriff exposed. The combination of the cropped length and high-waisted trousers gives the outfit a clear break between the two pieces.

Nketsi kept her accessories simple. She carried a small black quilted handbag with a short handle and gold chain detail, while black strappy heeled sandals completed the outfit. Slim bracelets and small earrings added jewellery without taking attention away from the clothes.

Her beauty look was just as pared back. Nketsi wore her dark hair pulled into a neat bun, while narrow black sunglasses framed her face. Her makeup featured defined brows, subtle eye makeup and a neutral lip.

The outfit works because the wide trousers are balanced by the cropped, fitted top. The brown and black combination also keeps the look restrained, allowing the shape of the trousers and the neckline of the top to stand out.

The look fits comfortably with Nketsi’s approach to fashion, where fitted pieces, tailored separates and statement shapes regularly feature. She has also worn coordinated sets and wide-leg styles before, making this latest outfit another example of her preference for trousers that give a polished finish without relying on a dress.

Mihlali Ndamase has unveiled a striking new beauty photoshoot, posing in a dramatic black evening gown with structured tailoring and intricate detailing. The influencer and entrepreneur shared the images on social media, where the sophisticated look received plenty of praise from her followers.

She wore a floor length black gown with a plunging neckline that extended to the waist. The fitted bodice was decorated with intricate black beadwork and textured appliqué tracing the edges of the neckline, giving the design added depth. Sculpted layered panels around the hips created a defined shape before the skirt flowed into a fitted mermaid cut with a short train.

Mihlali kept her accessories understated, pairing the gown with sparkling drop earrings, a slim gold bangle and a statement ring. In one image, she carried a structured round cream vanity case from The SAN, providing a subtle contrast against the black outfit. Her shoes remained hidden beneath the floor length gown.

Her beauty look matched the refined feel of the outfit. She styled her hair in long burgundy waves with a deep side part, while her makeup included softly defined brows, smoky eye shadow, long lashes, sculpted cheeks and a nude lip. Together, the hair and makeup complemented the clean lines of the gown and maintained attention on the overall styling.

The latest photoshoot continues Mihlali’s preference for figure hugging evening gowns with bold necklines and intricate detailing. Similar cuts have appeared in her looks for fashion events, brand campaigns and red carpet appearances, making this another outfit that reflects the glamorous style regularly seen throughout her wardrobe.

Denim capri pants are firmly back on the fashion radar, and Thabsie shows exactly how to wear the trend with a coordinated look that balances structure with bold accessories.

The singer wears a matching dark indigo denim set with crisp white contrast stitching that defines each panel and pocket. Her sleeveless denim top is cut close through the waist, creating a tailored shape, while flap chest pockets, silver-tone buttons and lace-up eyelet detailing along the shoulders bring extra detail. The rounded front hem extends slightly over the hips, giving the top the look of a modern denim waistcoat.

The matching capri pants continue the structured design. Sitting at the waist, the slim-fit trousers end below the knee and carry the same contrast stitching as the top. The lace-up detail at the hems stands out, with metal eyelets and long ties replacing a standard cuff and giving the cropped trousers a distinctive finish.

Rather than keeping her accessories neutral, Thabsie introduces colour with a pastel yellow shoulder bag featuring a short strap. She pairs it with bright yellow mesh heels finished with slim ankle ties, creating a striking contrast against the dark denim.

Her jewellery remains understated, with small silver hoop earrings and multiple delicate ear piercings that complement the silver hardware on the outfit.

Her hair is styled in a side-parted low bun that keeps the focus on the neckline of the top. Softly defined brows, smoky eye makeup, fluttery lashes and a warm nude lip round off her beauty look.

The coordinated denim outfit reflects Thabsie’s preference for matching sets. In a recent fashion interview, she said coordinated outfits are among her wardrobe favourites because they make getting dressed simple while still looking put together. She also said she prefers tailored cuts that suit her petite build.

This look continues that signature style. From the structured denim top to the lace-up capri pants and bright yellow accessories, Thabsie once again leans into coordinated dressing with clean tailoring and carefully chosen statement accessories.
