A modern woman's wardrobe must include trousers. Just a hundred years ago, wearing pants was akin to a challenge to society, but now they are an integral part of women's clothing. Classic trousers are timeless and ageless, they suit everyone, are relevant in any season and fit into all fashion trends.
What to wear with classic women's trousers?
First of all, they are the embodiment of elegance, and therefore their best companion is a blouse. It can be closer to a restrained and business shirt, or it can be romantic and light, with ruffles and patterns. Feel free to wear a jacket, and it doesn’t have to be a plain suit, the main thing is to match the color harmoniously. Turtlenecks and knitted pullovers are also acceptable top options for timeless classics. If after work you have a dinner in a pleasant company or a party, change the top to a frivolous lingerie-style top or a silk tunic.
Who are these trousers suitable for?
Classic pants suit everyone, especially since there are different styles from which you can choose what suits you best.
What to look for? Based on the color of the dress code, your height and body shape.
Black straight-cut trousers with arrows are suitable for any woman, as they hide figure flaws and can be combined with any items from the wardrobe - blouses, shirts, jackets, T-shirts, tops.
Those with curvy figures can emphasize their waist with a belt or a contrasting top. You can complement the top with a matching jacket, and in the evening wear a tunic made of flowing fabric.
Which materials are preferable?
Classic pants, as a symbol of status and presentability, require expensive natural materials. However, you need to remember that 100% wool, linen, and cotton products wrinkle heavily, so choose fabrics with a small addition of synthetics.
- Woolen fabrics look elegant and expensive, and are comfortable to wear.
- Stretch – suitable for those with curvy figures, as it corrects the upper part of the hips. Stretch is also a good solution for tapered trousers.
- Cotton is a material suitable for summer models, it gives lightness and maintains elegance.
- Silk is a fabric that flows and falls, so it is suitable for evening wide styles. Silk trousers require decent shoes and accessories.
What to combine different styles with?
- Straight are straight-cut, long pants. The width of the trouser leg is approximately equal to the width of the foot. They hide your figure and fit well. Usually these are trousers with arrows (and they can be only in the front, or in the front and back), due to which the legs visually appear longer. These pants usually have no pockets and no unnecessary volume on the hips.
- Tapered trousers are trousers whose bottom leg fits around the ankle, thereby imparting femininity. The tight-fitting silhouette of such pants requires a slender figure without extra pounds and volume.
- Wide ones are an excellent model for tall, stately women with outstanding shapes; they will elongate their legs and hide volumes. High-waisted wide trousers will look especially flattering.
- High waist is a modern fashion trend. Emphasizing the waist and hips, these pants “stretch out” the legs. High waist can be either straight, wide or tapered trouser models.
- A cropped version of classic pants is a fashionable interpretation of traditional models. Can be ankle length or 7/8.
- Trouser models with elastic are a sporty interpretation of the classics. Sneakers, cropped down jackets and unisex jackets “ask” to be their companions. But eclecticism is acceptable in modern fashion - wear a top with straps or a blouse with ruffles, put on pumps - a romantic look is ready.
Pants should end mid-heel, so think in advance about what shoes you will wear them with.
Classic colors - what?
Since classic trousers are frequent elements of the office dress code, the following colors would be appropriate: black, dark gray, brown, dark blue. In addition, pastel colors have become popular in women's business wardrobes - beige, blue, light gray, lavender. Color solutions can combine the bottom and top of the image and be embodied in plain suits.
What shoes do they need?
Heels and trousers are the perfect combination. The shape of the shoes is any, in the summer you can even have an open toe. The height and model of the heel may also vary. Shoes without heels - ballet flats, oxfords, loafers, moccasins - are suitable for slender girls.Moreover, loafers can be selected both in tone and in contrast. These options are suitable for a casual style, and if there is a strict dress code at work, do not take risks.
Top ideal combinations with women's classic trousers
- “dark bottom - white top” - this traditional combination has not been canceled. A blouse with ruffles or a frill looks impressive when paired with black straight trousers with arrows and a high waist. Black pumps will complement the look. The woman will appear tall, slender and romantic;
- a set of a shirt and blue high-waisted tapered trousers will look less formal. “Blue Nebula” is a trendy shade of blue this season 2018/2019. Complete the set with a belt at the waist, heels and a bag, and your business casual outfit is ready;
- a trouser suit is a must-have this fall. If you plan to wear it in the spring, pay attention to the shades of yellow that are now in trend - Ceylon yellow and ramp color;
- a bright bottom with a laconic and restrained top is acceptable even in a business style of clothing. Pants can be shortened and tapered, a strict dark T-shirt tucked in, and classic neutral-colored pumps on the feet;
- gray trousers of different shades allow you to add bright accents to your wardrobe - both a strict, elegant top in white or pastel shades and a bright coat are appropriate. A good solution would be a colored blouse with a plain gray suit.
