Pants riding breeches

In the current season, this type of pants, borrowed from men's fashion, again becomes relevant. And if you still did not dare to replenish your wardrobe with such a thing, now is the time for that.

Trousers riding breeches will be a bright bar in both everyday and evening dress. The main thing is to be able to pick them up on the figure and properly combine with other elements of clothing. We will teach you all these subtleties.

The style of the trousers of the breeches is remarkable by the fact that such trousers are greatly widened at the hips and significantly narrowed at the bottom of the pant leg, making it easier or almost clutching the shin.

In everyday wardrobe - first male, and then female - these pants came from military uniforms. There were breeches at the dawn of the XIX century, during the Franco-Prussian war. The name of the style was given in honor of the French general Ghalife.

The appearance of such trousers as military uniforms for French soldiers is literally a new milestone in army fashion. Until then, the military wore tight-fitting leggings. However, in one of the battles, General Galyfeff suffered a serious wound to the thigh, which was never recovered, and the general’s leg remained crooked. And so that the commander could feel comfortable at secular receptions, especially for him, trousers of this style were developed.

Gradually, this fashion was adopted throughout France, and then throughout the world. The success of the breeches was also the fact that, given their unusual nature, they were very easily tucked into boots, which made them not only stylish, but also practical. In the 20th century, riding breeches moved into the everyday male style, and closer to the XXI century - and into the female.

So, now speaking to the front, then moving away into the background, trousers breeches have long been a familiar element of the wardrobe. And today, interest in them is growing again.

A clear lack of trousers for breeches should be called the fact that they certainly are not suitable for everyone. However, those happy owners of a piece that is compatible with this style should appreciate all the advantages of riding breeches. They are invaluable because they help to visually adjust the figure, bringing it to the ideal.

Having picked up the correct model of trousers breeches, you can hide such figure flaws as:

• X-shaped silhouette of the legs;
• too narrow pelvis;
• excessive fullness of the legs;
• too thin legs;
• uneven skin texture in the hips.

Even if you don’t have obvious drawbacks of a figure, you shouldn’t give up the opportunity to emphasize its charms. So, correctly chosen pants riding breeches emphasize your slim waist or focus on luxurious long legs.

Of course, pants, riding breeches will always look great on long-legged thin people. And even more: women of impressive growth of such pants visually “land”, which will add to them confidence and elegance.

A flat figure such trousers make more feminine, appetizing. But since we said that riding breeches are also a means for masking the flaws in the figure, we can say for sure that these trousers are not only for top models with perfect proportions.

So, to the trousers of the style riding breeches, you can safely turn to girls with the figure of the “inverted triangle” type. This type is characterized by broad shoulders and a narrow pelvis, as well as a not very pronounced waist.

To achieve an optimal balance of the silhouette, additional volume in the hips is required. And pants riding breeches allow him to achieve.

If a woman’s height is medium or tall, and at the same time her thighs and buttocks are too full or have inaccurate contours, breeches will help to hide these flaws. More advantageous here will be a model whose legs are narrowed at the very end, in the immediate vicinity of the ankles.

Owners of a rectangular shape is very difficult to create a feminine image, since they have practically no waistline. And here trousers, breeches will become a magic wand. They increase the difference between waist volume and hip size, and due to this, the figure becomes more seductive.

To all the above, it should be added that for thin women it is better to choose breeches from thin materials, and for more luxurious ladies - from dense. This is due to the fact that the first you need to create additional volume, and the second - to keep the form.

It is strictly forbidden to wear trousers for breeches to girls with short and full legs, as well as with small breasts. All these disproportions such trousers only exacerbate.

Among the rich variety of models of women's trousers breeches should be divided into three main groups of styles:

• The first - the leg begins to narrow only in the ankle.
• The second - the leg begins to narrow in the knee area.
• The third - the leg begins to narrow from the middle of the thigh.

In all these cases, a significant additional volume is always created in the hips. Moreover, it is achieved through a variety of techniques. The point here is not only in the features of the patterns of this style. Multiple folds help to add volume in some models, and internal side pockets in others.

The variety of models of trousers breeches due to the fact that today you can meet them, made in almost any fabric. Female riding breeches sew not only from dense materials, not only from costume fabrics, but also from more thin and elegant. You can find models from denim, velvet, chiffon, silk, satin and even brocade!

In addition, designers play with the length of the leg. It can be both standard and shortened. All this gives room for creating not only everyday or business attire, but also an ensemble for solemn or festive occasions based on riding breeches.

Since the style of the trousers breeches is very bright and outrageous, then with the color you need to be restrained and careful.

First and foremost, such trousers should be solid. Any multi-color execution or use of prints will look absurd.

The color of trousers breeches should be deep, intense, saturated. In this case, girls with more curvaceous forms should prefer models made in darker tones.

Since this season the relevance of the military theme is not waning, the breeches of dark green tones, olive or khaki will become an acute trend. Mustard, beige, chocolate, sand will also be interesting and in demand.

The top for such pants need to pick monophonic. You can give preference to monochrome combinations, you can create contrasting ensembles. But you can not use more than two colors. In the matter of creating a dress based on trousers for breeches, this would be inappropriate and even unacceptable.

So, with the breeches of any color, the white top will look equally advantageous, almost any color - the black top. If you create the image of military, described above, you can use the top brown shades.

As you already understood, combinations with breeches should be simple and minimal. Thus, a classic ensemble can be called a combination of breeches and a strict blouse, or breeches and a simple fitting blouse.

A turtleneck, a tight T-shirt or a tank top will also be a good finishing touch to complete this look.

In the cooler seasons, riding breeches are harder to wear, since you need to think about a warmer outfit and keep your commitment to minimalism.On the top of the blouse or turtleneck, complete with breeches, you can choose a short jacket of a fitted silhouette. This formal suit is suitable for business meetings, for everyday work in the office.

For a less formal setting, short blouses are suitable, a vest can be draped over the top. All long and put on the dress - is contraindicated. In breeches you need to fill any top, which is not shortened.

A completely natural rule - the jacket should also be short. Shorted sheepskin coats, bomber jackets, short down jackets will look very stylish with breeches.

Shoes should be as closed as possible.

The ideal would be either very low, or a very high stable heel, a stud is possible. Picking up shoes to match the breeches, you can achieve a visual lengthening of the legs. Military low-heeled boots or Martins-type boots will complete the military look.

Bag under the breeches can be chosen and massive, and miniature. Maybe a shoulder bag or even a leather backpack.
