Trousers entered the women's wardrobe as a thing for daily wear relatively recently, in the second half of the 20th century. They immediately began to conquer living space for themselves, significantly displacing dresses and skirts. Now every girl has several pairs of such products in her closet. Their styles are varied: jeans, skinny pants, capri pants, straight pants, wide pants, and sweatpants.
7/8-length trousers have been on the crest of the fashion wave of recent seasons. A distinctive feature is the ankle, open to prying eyes. This is their second “coming”. The style was brought into fashion by American stars Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, who actively promoted it in films and in life.
About 7/8 trousers: who suits them, how to wear them
The length shortened by 1/8 suits everyone: those with curvy figures, those who want to gain at least a few kilograms on top, and beauties with an ideal figure. They are in demand among women of different age categories: everyone wants to look stylish and modern.
These trousers have many styles, united only by the length indicator. They look great both as part of an ensemble in a suit, and as an independent item, complemented by other things and accessories.
The main thing is to look carefully in the mirror when choosing and analyze your advantages and disadvantages in the model you are trying on.
Slender girls can afford tight-fitting styles that highlight their figure. Curvy ladies should choose more spacious models that will not draw attention to the hips and provide freedom of movement.
Attention! Stylists advise following the rule for the most winning look: the tighter the bottom of the outfit, the more voluminous the top and vice versa.
The feature of 7/8 trousers is the demonstration of the slimmer part of the leg. The length should open the ankle, but not rise above the middle of the calf.
7/8 trousers: what they go with
To create a stylish look, you need the right combination of all things and accessories.
- Pumps, a strict blouse made of light fabric, a short jacket, a clutch or a bag of the correct shape are perfect for short classic trousers in dark colors.
- For brightly colored pants, choose calm shades of the top - top, shirt or blouse. The color scheme is supported by accessories and is repeated in the bag and belt.
- If the color of the trousers is not very shocking, then the top can be made of fabric with stripes, polka dots, with large or small patterns.
- When choosing a fashionable printed bottom, the top is complemented with as unobtrusive, very light colors as possible.
Style and season
The cold season is coming. Clothing is selected depending on the weather and temperature outside the window.In this situation, you should give preference to trousers made of dense materials - wool tweed, thick gabardine, insulated jeans, fabric with a fleece back. They won't be as elegant as summer styles, but warm items can and should be stylish.
Advice! When choosing pants, pay close attention to the proposed structure, cut, quality of seams and stitching, the presence of additional details - pockets, belts, fasteners. These products are a little more voluminous and require careful analysis, as they can easily make a short figure heavier or shorten, and make a tall figure appear disproportionate or awkward.
The best combinations for such trousers would be:
- a warm shirt tucked into the belt;
- T-shirt or vest with long sleeves;
- oversized knit sweater;
- cardigan or jacket;
- long sleeveless jacket;
- soft drape coat above the knee;
- leather biker jacket;
- a short fur coat that covers the hips.
For autumn, ankle boots or boots with heels are chosen; in winter, boots with a similar model of trousers will look good only if they are made very elegant.
Dressy and casual
Classic trousers in dark colors - black, brown - are perfect for a business style. This also includes solid colors: blue, gray, beige, khaki. Styles - tapered or straight with arrows. A jacket or jacket to match would be a great combination with them. And if you want variety, dilute the image with a splash of color - shoes, a scarf, a belt of an unusual color will add a little coquetry and a touch of stylish “hooliganism” to the image.
Things in bright colors and prints will fit perfectly into a casual wardrobe, enlivening it with something unusual. A top or light blouse, tucked in completely or partially, is added to the look.It has become cooler - complement the blouse with a short jacket or replace it with a tight-fitting jumper.
For an everyday wardrobe, the color of the trousers is chosen democratically: Variants of both gray and dark, as well as turquoise, yellow, orange, and other colors are appropriate. Friendly gatherings are planned - wear, for example, European-length lilac trousers and a light long blouse with a floral print. Tuck the front of the blouse into the waistband and leave the rest loose.
To create evening looks use a combination of straight plain trousers with arrows and an elegant romantic-style top or silk polka-dot pants and a light dark shirt. Complementing with the right accessories - a bag or clutch and matching stiletto heels - will make the owner of the outfit the star of the party.
What shoes and tights to choose for 7/8 trousers
The final horizontal line of any product visually “cuts” the figure into two parts, shortening it for short and/or curvy women. In the case of 7/8 trousers, this rule does not work precisely because the open narrow part of the leg, with proper selection of the style, lengthens the image. It looks especially interesting with the right shoes.
Of course, the most advantageous option here, as in many other cases, will be high-heeled shoes. It will make your legs long and slender. But this is not always convenient.
For an everyday look, choose options with sneakers, sneakers, slip-ons, brogues, loafers and other youth or sports style shoes. However, Flat-soled shoes are suitable only for men's cut models with arrows or turn-ups at the bottom of the trouser leg.
The remaining styles are complemented by feminine models with medium and higher heels; an elegant wedge heel will also be in place here.
Important! The 7/8 length will inevitably accentuate the shoe. It should be an ensemble item, its style and color scheme should be in harmony with other things.
When choosing tights for 7/8 trousers, you should pay attention to the main points:
- Texture: select depending on the material of the trousers. The thinner the trousers, the thinner the tights. The main rule: no shine! For an evening out, fishnet tights are appropriate; they will effectively highlight your graceful ankles. A new trend this fall is large black mesh combined with ripped 7/8 jeans (photo).
- Color: It’s better to stick to a restrained classic palette – black, flesh-colored. Tights that match the product will look original.
Some tips
To make friends with fashionable length, you need to know what you can afford with such a model and what it is advisable to avoid.
- 7/8 trousers in a dark or deep blue color are suitable for any body type, as they hide flaws and demonstrate advantages.
- Plus-size girls can add dark trousers with loose-fitting creases at the hips to their wardrobe. It is best to complement the outfit with a tunic, blouse, or slightly fitted shirt. In no case should you choose plain light-colored fabrics or those printed with large patterns: your legs will seem short, and the volume of your hips will visually increase significantly.
- A wide belt, large accessories, a tight top with 7/8 pants length can only be worn by those with an ideal figure.
- If the trousers are made of fabric with a print, then the top should be more restrained, monochromatic and vice versa: a bright, cheerful top - a calm bottom. The female figure should not be overloaded.
- Pants in light shades are complemented by a red top or sandals - this technique must also be applied to makeup.No aggressive tones on the face: a little mascara, the rest of the range is almost natural and a bright spot of lipstick on the lips to match the shoes or blouse.
- Flashy and massive accessories will destroy the harmony of the image. Choose them with care.
No amount of advice or explanations will work to create an interesting modern look if fashionable trousers are not carefully cared for. A neat, brand new look is the first step towards style.
