Tips and tricks
Wide women's pants are universal. Models made of light fabric will perfectly “company” a swimsuit on the beach, and thicker fabric of trousers can accompany both office, casual style and become a detail of an evening outfit.
Given the loose cut of the models, it is advisable to leave the upper part of the image fitted and tight. And, therefore, such a set may be suitable for slender girls with a pronounced waist.
The wide cut of the pants visually “steals” height, so when choosing these models you need to evaluate your parameters - If you are not tall, then you will need to pair your trousers with heels. And here For tall women, you can easily pair culottes with sneakers or trainers.
When choosing wide trousers, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the material and its ability to wrinkle.As a general rule, wide styles should either have a flowing downward fabric or have a raised drape. In both cases, the presence of wrinkled folds will seriously harm the image.
Advice! Palazzos are usually made in soft, pastel colors, adding sophistication to them even in color. When choosing this model, it is better not to “weight down” your image with dark, boring colors.
Who does/doesn't suit wide trousers?
Depending on the model, loose trousers can suit girls with different parameters. General recommendations look like this:
- Men's style trousers Designed for girls who are of average or tall height. This style will perfectly hide wide hips, and narrow shoulders will especially emphasize the subtle image. If your height is below average, but your build allows you to wear such pants, you can add centimeters with the help of a heel.
- Palazzo model suitable for women of average height and successfully hides leg imperfections - wide hips, full calves. The light flowing fabric of these models should hug a thin waist, so if you have excess weight in the abdominal area, it is better not to choose such trousers.
- Culottes, like other models, they hide wide hips, but due to the shortened length they greatly “cut” their height. Therefore, you need to choose these pants if you are tall or complement the look with a heel. Options for arranging culottes with a formal jacket are acceptable, which, in turn, can cover an imperfect waist.
In general, such models are still recommended for tall girls without figure problems, otherwise the “heavy” and wide bottom of the style will add unnecessary volume and visually make the girl’s height much shorter.
