Warning fashion lovers. There’s a new trend in town and it’s a complicated one.

It’s known as portion control and was spotted on the catwalks last Fashion Week with the likes of Topshop and Acne all throwing it into their new collections.

So what is portion control? Well while it might sound like a cooking method it’s actually not. The trend is where you where something oversized and quite rounded on the top and something skinny and fitted on the bottom, or vice versa.

In it’s purest form an example might be wearing an overside jumper with shoulder pads and teaming it with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. Or wearing a bralet with a pair of wide legged trousers.

It’s a complicated one to pull off but once you’ve mastered it you’re not going to regret giving it a go. It’s chic, it’s stylish and it’s going to be everywhere come the autumn so best get practising.

Below are some images for inspiration.
