Save Space in Your Closet For Stylish & Roomy Wide-Leg Trousers
2010 may have been all about reinventing the trouser pant — skinny trousers, cargo trousers, corduroy trousers, even cropped harem-inspired trousers — but this season is all about going back to the style’s vintage roots. Volume, volume, volume! Wide-leg styles and flared hems make this upcoming season’s pants floaty and comfy yet still sleek and polished, giving a retro shout-out while still managing to give the look some fashion-forward updates like pleating, high waist bands, and movable fabrics like silk for added romance! Of course, a roomier fit on the bottom means you’ll have to say sayonara to those boyfriend-style cardigans, oversized blazers, and flowy blouses. To make sure the look is soft and feminine and not just plain sloppy, keep your top tailored and your shirts neat and fitted — balance is key when working with dramatic volume!
