There is a wide
wide variety of women's straight trousers: you can find them in many styles, prints and colours. If you are still not clear on what
straight trousersare, you should know that it is a type of garment with a shape that does not vary between the
waist and the ankle; the cut, as the name suggests, goes straight along the entire length of the trousers. This type of trousers is characterised by a
more formal use, although it is also possible to find them in
jeans for a casual look.
What kind of trousers are there?
Before you get a pair of straight trousers, you should know that there are many
types of trousers and which ones suit your body type.
Skinny. These are straight trousers but they are
tight on the leg up to the ankle. They are also known as skinny and you can find them in any fabric, although they are the star of
denim and leather. This type of trousers flatter the silhouette, as they define the legs.
Flared. They are characterised by being
straight and tight to the knee and then widen like a bell. They are not recommended for short people, as they dwarf them.
Palazzo. These are a type of
straight, but the
width of the leg is XL.
Baggy. These are
airy and usually with colourful prints. They are oriental-inspired.
Cargo. You can find them in
straight or wide format and they are characterised by their many pockets. These trousers are in a boy's style, but with adaptations to the female silhouette.
Capri. There are
women's straight trousers, but with a length ranging from mid-calf to ankle length. Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy were some of the celebrities who made them fashionable.
What type of trousers suit you best?
The type of trousers that suit you best depends on your
body type.
High or low rise? One of the questions many women ask is whether straight trousers are better with a high or low rise. For short women, high waists are best, as they create the
optical effect that the legs are longer and slimmer. The downside? It
emphasises the posterior. However, if you're tall, low-rise trousers are best, as they emphasise your hips and make you more voluminous (as long as you have narrow hips).
Women's straight cut trousers, how to combine them?
If you still don't know
how to combine your straight trousers, you should know that you have endless possibilities. It all depends on the type of style you want to wear, because straight trousers can be used in your day to day life and for all kinds of
engagements. A party? A day at the office? Straight trousers will be your best ally.
The advantage of straight trousers, whether they are jeans or soft fabric/wool, is that you can
combine them with anything. If you're looking for a relaxed look, then printed shirts. For less formal occasions you can opt for
plain or printed T-shirts and add an extra touch of elegance with a
blazer. Informal look? Go for a
sweatshirt.
As for
footwear, for more formal occasions and if you want to show off your figure, go for a pair of
high heels. A date with friends or a comfortable day at the office? Then a nice pair of
white or black trainers. Don't forget to use basic accessories such as belts.
