Embrace The Wide Pant Trend This Summer

COLLAGE- FLARED TROUSERS

For fashionistas who are tired of skinny denim or curve-hugging pencil skirts, the emerging flared trouser trend for Summer 2015 promises to offer relief from restrictive waistlines and skintight silhouettes. On the Spring/Summer 2015 airstrip at Carolina Herrera, flowing, snowy white trousers were styled with an airy white crop top and strappy platform sandals. Meanwhile, Anna Sui turned to the bohemian, free-vigorous 1970s to inspire her denim bellbottoms, which were paired with a fitted, strappy top. Keeping up with the trend, designer Derek Lam focused on a classic combination of wide-legged camel trousers with a simple white blouse. From laidback Saturday road style to an evening out, these comfortable and retro bottoms can easily be brought into present day.

Here’s how to bring wide-legged trousers from the groovy seventies to sleek and fashion-forward Summer 2015.

Casual Chic

For your day off, there can hardly be a better option than softly flowing flared jeans. Pint-sized fashionistas who wish to embrace the trend should look for wide legged denim that is fitted throughout the thighs, and cut in a petite length. Try a pair of indigo blue jeans, to combine the comfy fit with a sophisticated dark wash. Pair your flared denim with a pair of wedges to extend your leg line, and balance out your proportions with a fitted, striped T-shirt.

Work

While you may have become accustomed to your favourite high-waisted A-line skirt or slim fit pants at the office, why not entirely update your typical work look with loose fitting trousers? After all, the loose lines and effortlessly elegant look of wide legged pants makes them a smooth, work-appropriate choice. For a feminine end, pair the season’s baggy flared trousers in a neutral black, white or pastel hue with a waist-cinching blazer or a patterned, collared blouse. Add pumps to contrast with the borrowed from the boys look, and perfect your nine to five fashion statement.

Evening

Normally, a night out in the summertime calls for daringly high hemlines and miles of exposed leg. For those who are tired of fleeting shorts or miniskirts, the wide legged pant can be a surprisingly sexy staple. To transform your favourite baggy pair from a daytime must-have to an evening look, pair your bottoms with lace blouse, contrasting bandeau top and a collar necklace. The lace and jewellery ensure that your loose, conservative trousers are a glamorous fit for the weekend have fun scene.
