A hundred years ago, a woman in trousers would have caused shock and condemnation, can you imagine? The norms of dressing and public morality were so strict that their slightest violation was strongly condemned. Needless to say, the things have changed dramatically. Now we live in a radically different world, women have equal rights and freedoms, the opportunity for self-realization and the right to choose in any situation. Nowadays, trousers are no longer a symbol of emancipation and rebellious spirit, but an everyday women’s item, no less popular than a dress or a skirt. Women choose them for work, everyday and evening looks.
However, it often happens that even the most beautiful and fashionable trousers simply do not fit the girls who choose them. The reasons can be very different, but the result is the same: the look is unsuccessful. In order not to jeopardize your wardrobe, we will discuss how to choose the right trousers, and how to find the right trousers for different body types.
THE IMPORTANCE OF LENGTH
The length of trousers is important not only in terms of fashion trends, but also from the standpoint of visual perception. For example, the cropped culottes that everyone loves are not suitable for petite girls and for those who have massive athletic calves: they visually make the legs shorter and expand the visible part of the leg. Girls with massive hips should not choose extreme skinnies: they will form folds on their legs and emphasize the disproportion. An excellent alternative would be straight jeans or trousers, as well as loose long banana trousers and floor-length hip flares.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE WAIST HEIGHT?
The most important rule is not to choose it too low. Firstly, the low rise has long gone out of fashion, and no one expects it to return quickly. Secondly, low-rise trousers or jeans fit well on slender figures with a flat stomach – for all other body types, a model with a low waist will be a real fiasco. In addition, a low rise visually shortens the legs, so I advise you to choose trousers with a high waist: they will give a slight slimming effect, emphasize the waist and effectively outline the hips, even if you think they are big.
THE SUITABILITY OF TRENDY STYLES
Let’s not forget that trendy styles of trousers may not suit everyone either. For example, the knee flares are not the best choice for a girl of small stature: such a silhouette of trousers will visually bend the legs at the knees and will not lengthen them. Palazzo trousers should not be chosen by ladies with voluminous hips – wide trousers will make the bottom even more massive. Sweatpants with slits on the outside of the leg will suit taller girls.
A SMALL NUANCE
Yes, what I’m about to say is the obvious thing. But, just in case, it does not hurt to remind you: choose the underwear that will not be visible with the seams on your beautiful hips. It’s the golden rule for any trousers, and tight-fitting things.
