Gone are the days when women's trousers were only an office option and were made from trouser fabrics. A modern woman can choose the perfect style for the office, a walk, and even an evening out instead of a dress.
Yes, the 2019 trends allow you to wear them instead of evening dresses and look feminine and elegant. We are talking about the so-called trouser skirts. This phrase evokes a picture of a complex wardrobe element, a transformer, similar to the previously fashionable short skirts.
But this is not the correct idea. Skirt-pants is just a general name for palazzo trousers and culottes that are fashionable today. And the coming spring simply calls for colors, flowing fabrics and feminine styles. You will find all this in culottes and palazzos.
Fashionable skirts-pants this spring
The defunct fashion shows presented us with a lot of fashionable styles - breeches, cargo, pipes and bell-bottoms. But culottes and palazzos occupied a special place. These styles came into fashion several seasons ago, but this year they filled all the catwalks, stores and Instagram accounts.
Palazzos will fit perfectly into a bright spring look.They can become part of a business style if you choose the right style and color. In combination with a tight blouse or top, it will replace the usual evening dresses.
IMPORTANT! In order not to look obese in a palazzo or culottes and not reduce your height, learn to maintain proportions. If you are tall, choose the widest possible models. And then there is a trick - the shorter the height, they should already be palazzo pants. Just choose wide-leg trousers that are 1-3 cm narrower than for tall girls.
Styles
In 2019, 2 styles of trouser skirts are relevant: culottes and palazzos. Let's look at them in more detail:
- Palazzo - trousers with wide legs that widen evenly towards the bottom. In a passive position they look like a floor-length skirt and due to this they are suitable for an evening look.
- Culottes are shortened palazzos. The length of the culotte reveals half of the calf, visually making the leg slimmer. They are often sewn from thicker fabrics and somewhat retain their shape.
Both styles come with a high or frankly high rise. The latter are less versatile and are not suitable for everyday looks.
REFERENCE! Palazzo trousers were first introduced at the Italian Palazzo Piti by designer Emilio Pucci. These were high-waisted wide trousers, and they got their name because of the location of the show.
Fabrics
The main rule of any trousers is that the fabric must contain elastane. From 2%, and preferably 4-5%. This will extend the life of the product, because sometimes even good trousers that fit in size begin to come apart at the seams. No, they don’t tear, just individual threads are pulled out of the pants. This phenomenon occurs in trousers made of natural fabrics that do not stretch well.By adding a little elastane to the fabric, the manufacturer will make sure that when worn for a long time, the threads will stretch slightly and not be pulled out of the pants.
Polyester will also be a plus. By choosing products with 20-30% polyester in the fabric, you will, firstly, extend the service life. Secondly, buy trousers that will not wrinkle treacherously after sitting, creating wide folds in the hips.
It is better that the fabrics are flowing. Cotton, linen, silk, satin and combinations with artificial fabrics are suitable.
Colors
The spring 2019 trend is brown and all its shades. Beige or light brown palazzos combined with a white blouse or top will be good for a business or casual look. Black will become the accent of an evening look.
The designers did not stop at classic colors and made collections in bright prints. On palazzos or culottes you can see all the fashionable prints of this year: check, diamond, stripe, floral and floral print. Such models will add brightness to spring looks, when the snow has not completely melted and there is not enough color. And on the warm days of late spring and summer, printed trouser skirts will harmoniously play with the bright colors of nature.
REFERENCE! There are models of pleated culottes. They are made from flowing fabrics in one color or a combination of 2 shades in the form of a vertical strip.

Entourage
Trend 2019 – trousers with a slit on the legs. This includes short slits that slightly open the leg and a half-length cut that flirtatiously shows off the beauty of the leg above the knee.
In combination with a cropped top, palazzos with a belt look great in a summer look. It can be tied in different ways and the trousers will play in a new way. There are also models with straps that come included. Pants made of thick fabrics often have pockets in the hip area.
ADVICE! To make the image harmonious, adding volume at the bottom, make the top narrower. Crop tops go well with wide palazzos or culottes. If you are overweight, give preference to bodysuits. They will play on the narrow-wide contrast and make you slimmer. And most importantly, they won’t bunch up at the waist and won’t show off anything.
Asymmetry has recently come into fashion and has gained a foothold this season. The trend has not spared culottes either. A striking example is satin palazzos, with asymmetrical legs, each of which looks like a long wrap skirt. The model is complemented by a belt tied in a knot, the ends of which are directed downwards.
Most often, culottes and palazzos come without unnecessary decoration, except perhaps a belt. The model is already quite bright and eye-catching. Therefore, wearing a top or blouse, culottes or palazzo, and adding comfortable shoes, depending on the situation, is quite enough for a relaxed spring look. And if you want to complete your outfit with jewelry, give preference to minimalist models.
