The indisputable trend of this season is the ankle-length pants. This model also has another name - 7/8 trousers, since they are 1/8 of the length shorter than standard ones. The main feature of these trousers is that in them any girl or woman can feel fashionable, stylish and attractive.
Features
When choosing shortened trousers, it is important to pay attention to the depth of their fit, it should be exactly along the waistline. When trying on tight ankle-length trousers, pay attention to whether they are too tight in the hips, especially in the inguinal zone. Also, do not forget that ankle-length trousers should end at the thinnest part of the leg, and not at its widest part.
When choosing the material from which the ankle-length trousers are sewn, it must be remembered that stretch fabric with a high content of elastane is quite pleasant to feel on the body, but in reality, wearing such trousers is rather inconvenient, they will protrude all the existing irregularities of the figure, as well as highlight underwear.
For 7/8 trousers, it is better to choose medium-density fabric with a low elastane content: pants made of this material hold their shape perfectly, do not wrinkle and do not stretch on the knees.
Who is it for?

Sports models of ankle-length trousers are well combined with sports t-shirts, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Cropped chinos combine perfectly with hand-knit sweaters and pullovers, as well as patterned T-shirts.
Fashionable tight ankle-length trousers go well with light ballet flats, moccasins, slippers and loafers, but high-heeled shoes or sandals will nevertheless make the figure more slender and fit. Boots, half boots and ankle boots should be avoided so that they do not mask an interesting length.
