Striped pants are one of the brightest trends of recent seasons. However, such a wardrobe item is not the easiest option to create an image. To make our task easier, let's take a look at everything in order.
Strip types
The styles of trousers are diverse: narrowed skinny, classic straight, flared, shortened 7/8, culottes and others.
This is one of the most difficult wardrobe items, so you need to choose a print only after you have decided on the style of the trousers.
The strips can be straight, oblique, vertical, vary in volume - wide, narrow, combined.
Wide horizontal stripes are easy for everyday wear, party or walk. Vertical - an option for office, study, important meetings. Thin stripes are the trend of the last season.
A combination of wide strips with thin ones, as well as those located diagonally, is considered stylish. Designers do not stop at these options and come up with more and more new combinations.
Popular colors
A timeless classic is a combination of black white striped trousers and vice versa. This is the universal choice for creating a business style. Combinations can be completely different - narrow, wide, combined. In fashion things pastel colors with a vertical beige strip. This is a quiet option, suitable for dates, work, study.
An option for the bold - contrasting shades. But with these you need to be careful. It’s better to choose not flashy colors, but, for example, red, blue, olive, burgundy. A combination of blue or blue on white trousers is popular.
As a rule, designers adhere to a maximum of two or three shades, otherwise the image turns out to be inharmonious.
Selection tips
Everyone knows the fact that striped pants can change the proportions of the body.Remember, the wider the strip, the more the silhouette appears visually.
Pants in a vertical strip emphasize the harmony of the legs, focus on the length, stretching the figure. The horizontal strip, on the contrary, sways the figure wide.
Thus, girls with a voluminous top and hips should abandon the horizontal strip.
These women need to choose models with a vertical print. It will help to visually lengthen the legs and make the figure slimmer.
Ladies who have narrow shoulders and voluminous hips will fit a horizontal strip, it will make the bottom and top harmonious.
Girls with a thin physique can afford any options, including those with a vertical strip of any width.
What to wear?
After the choice of trousers is finally made, it's time to create! The perfect complement to the look is a plain top in the form of a top, blouse, tunic, etc. We give preference to neutral shades of pastel colors: light blue, pale pink, beige, lemon.
For a business look, pick up trousers in a black and white strip of a classic style and add a blouse made of thin flowing material with a V-neck.
Striped pants are already our main emphasis in the image, so do not try to put on some flashy things, otherwise you risk looking ridiculous and not at all stylish.
Striped trousers combine jackets and cardigans, preferably plain. A variant of a jacket with a similar strip is possible, and thus we get a set. If you suddenly chose a top with a floral or abstract print, then the color should overlap with the gamut of the bottom.
For a walk or evening out, skinny pants or a loose cut in stripes, for example, blue, are suitable. Upstairs you can pick up a white T-shirt or top, which can be tucked into pants. If it is loose fit or tunic, wear on release, this will make the image more free.
If you want to create a bright image, you can experiment with the top of a coral or turquoise color. But be careful with the decorations - the jewelry not chosen to match the tone can ruin the whole color contrast. In cool weather, you can throw a cardigan. Dress in a black leather jacket and black and white pants for a sharp, fashionable look.
Speaking of choosing shoes, it is worth starting from the style of trousers. With narrower and austere options, wear stiletto heels or high-heeled shoes. With free-cut models, choose ballet shoes, slip-on shoes, loafers, wedge shoes.
Do not forget about accessories. The black and white ensemble can be emphasized with bright details, and vice versa - the motley image should be diluted only with neutral jewelry or products made of precious metals.
Look great with a vertical strip of jewelry on a long chain and elongated forms of pendants.
