To have stripes or not to exist - that is the question

Sports chic continues to march through the streets of our cities, but 2019 has made some adjustments to the rules for combining trousers with stripes with other things. Now, in addition to a sleeveless blouse, a shirt and a stretched sweatshirt, the model can be combined with denim, a top with very thin straps, a 90s-style sweatshirt and a microtop that looks more like a swimsuit top. Bare shoulders (1 or both), unusual sleeves (for example, batwing) and eye-catching prints are welcome.

Where did the stripes on fashionable trousers come from?

Initially, the decor was the property of the military (it was also present on the uniform of the ancient Scythians), then it became part of the sports wardrobe. Today, trousers with vertical stripes are trendy women's clothing that is most often worn with shoes with heels or slides than with sneakers or sneakers. Another feature has appeared. If at the dawn of their existence stripes were pieces of fabric, now they can be drawn.Moreover, both options are equal in terms of relevance.

The difference is also visible in the color scheme. The classic version - red - can be replaced with any other. Non-uniformity is also allowed. This decorative patch is not uniform in color or comes with a print. For example, with a cage or a floral pattern.

Who can wear them and who can’t?

Vertical lines are a way to draw out a figure. This property will definitely be useful for short and plump girls. However, the latter category of women should avoid trousers with very wide lines, which are also much lighter than the main tone of the trousers. This version will not only not help you become visually slimmer, but, on the contrary, will add several kilograms by increasing the massiveness and steepness of the outer thigh.

What is clearance in stripes?

The clearance is the stripes themselves, that is, the fabric or the drawn vertical line. The part can be narrow (several cm) or wide. The largest stripes come in a composite or appliqué design. In other words, this is no longer a traditional solid strip, but a multi-component elongated decor. Its dimensions can reach half the trouser leg.

Stylish combinations with trousers with stripes

  1. Red trousers with white stripes, white socks and pointy shoes of the same color, tucked in shirt (printed, with splashes of white).
  2. Snow-white trousers, a sleeveless, loose-fitting blouse of the same shade, sandals matching the stripes in color, an envelope (white + the color of the gaps) or a small handbag on a chain.
  3. A short top or cropped sweatshirt with a blue ethnic pattern, light blue trousers, pointed shoes with an animal print (gray or grayish blue).
  4. Brown or beige bomber jacket, brown trousers (darker than the top), orange messenger bag over the shoulder, beige flat shoes.
  5. Classic black shoes (replaceable with sneakers), cropped jeans with stripes (high waist), knitted T-shirt with very thin straps.
  6. Silver flat or platform shoes, black trousers with stripes, a white shirt or silk top (needs to be tucked in), a long jacket to match the color of the bottom.

Important! A loose, elongated jacket allows you to wear both wide and slightly tapered trousers. With a short jacket, it is better to take a straight or slightly tapered bottom.

The options listed are a template. Rely on them, but do not forget to change the palette according to color combinations. For example, if you take gray trousers with black stripes and a black silk top, then you will need to choose non-silver shoes for this ensemble, otherwise the transition will be too sharp. The best option: shoes that match the tone of the stripes or the main shade of the trousers.

Which models are “in” for 2019?

Options to consider:

  • black and dark blue models with white or white-red highlights;
  • completely plain trousers, in which the stripes match the color of the main fabric and differ from it only due to texture, slight compression of the clearance or using other technology;
  • snow-white trousers with a thin black vertical line on the outer thigh;
  • cropped denim;
  • velvety and slightly expanded in the pelvic area;
  • models with 3 multi-colored contrasting lines;
  • with 4 or 5 single-color, very thin stripes, located close to each other;
  • on rivets reaching to the middle of the thigh (you don’t need to undo all the fasteners, just the first few).

It is also worth considering that Nowadays, not only sweatpants are equipped with stripes. On the contrary, there is a tendency to decorate trousers with gaps, which in no way correlate with military or sports style. And just such models are at the peak of popularity in 2019.
