Street Style: Molly Dobbs' cargo jeans look

Inspired by one of our readers, I have decided to start a special segment called Street Style. Do you ever see clothes worn by Corrie characters and want to know where you can get them? Or a suitable substitute? The aim of Street Style is to feature outfits or items of interest on our favourite characters so readers at home have the opportunity to wear them.

This week's street style is in response to a reader who wanted to know where they could get Molly Dobbs' cargo jeans. I'm personally not a fan of this style, the cargo jeans in particular. Myself, I would most likely pair this outfit with a skinny ankle jean and a longer blouse instead of a polo.

This look suits Molly perfectly because you can see she still has quite a bit of youth leftover in her personal style with the cargo pants and the shoes, but then she tries to make herself a little more stylish and mature by adding the blazer. Whereas, the polo shirt tells me she's not a woman with a lot of button-downs in her wardrobe, which means she doesn't have a professional job and as a result, is most likely a budget shopper. Also, the bag is typically trendy, and the ear-rings are a flash of glam, which indicate she cares a lot about how she looks and wants to present herself as such.

Keep in mind, this is also the outfit she goes to see Kevin in and we all know she has an interest in him, so I think the attempt to mature her look with the blazer and collared shirt could have been for his benefit.

So, here's our take on how you could get Molly Dobbs' cargo-jean look. We're not saying these are the exact same clothes which are featured on Coronation Street, but we'll try to find the closest match we can for fans who'd like to dress like their favourite Corrie characters.

Not the style for me I am afraid, jeans are too long.
