Street Style: turn-ups



Sisters, Marcia Bennett-Male, 45, and Grace Bennett, 50, look lovely in rolled up trousers and florals. Marcia, a stonemason, spends her working life dressed down but likes to 'girly up' when she's out with big sis'. Read more about Grace, on her bike blog, Cycling in Heels.




Sculptor, Ray Okunubi, 47, describes his style as casual vintage. Paying a nod to the underwear as outerwear trend, he teams an old 1930s jersey undergarment with selvedge jeans, a silk scarf and Kangol hat.

  7. I turn up my son's trousers - basically because he has no hips to hang them off and so they end up all torn and tattered under his trainers. He's 9.

    It might make the ordeal slightly less tortuous for him if I can prove that it's stylish!

  13. Of these three, I especially love Ray's look. I have suggested to Mr Coz that he should copy Ray (same age) but that didn't go down too well ;-)
