If a couple of seasons ago it was extremely fashionable to tuck the pants, making them shorter and more stylish, then today this number is hopelessly outdated. Moreover, the turns on the pants are already considered not just unfashionable, but inappropriate remnants. But the fashion for the leg, which opens the beauty of the female leg, has not disappeared anywhere. Now, in a trend, short pants are longer than the ankle, 7/8 or ¾. We will tell how to pick them up and what to wear.
Features
The main feature of such trousers can be called the ratio of the length and width of the leg. At the same time wide leg are both straight and flared silhouette.
Cropped trousers can be straight, narrowed or wide.
There are models of wide short trousers, the trouser legs of which end with cuffs that slightly wear out their cuffs.
Depending on the length and width of the shortened women's trousers have different names. Capri, culottes, gaucho, pumping - in detail about each variety we will discuss below.
Modern female models
The variety of modern models of women's shortened trousers can be difficult to choose. The optimal length is selected for each model individually. All types of cropped pants are divided by length into two categories: to the middle of the calf and just above the ankle. In summer dresses, as well as in versions for early autumn or late spring, any of these lengths will be acceptable. In the colder season, shortened trousers are allowed only up to the ankle length.
Consider the most popular options for modern models of shortened women's trousers.
Capri. This model has a straight cut and slightly narrowed down leg. Their width is quite narrow, but not tight. They are only slightly adjacent to the legs. Often made of dense fabrics and have arrows.
Culottes. The width of the leg varies from simply wide to very wide. These pants can be as far as mid-calf, and just above the ankle. But the optimal model that is suitable for almost everyone is moderately wide trousers (they are sometimes called skirt-trousers) with a length slightly below the knee.
Gaucho. Another model that resembles a skirt-pants. Their length is usually to the knee or slightly lower. There were such trousers in South Africa many years ago. They were intended for women riding.
Pumpy. Everyone knows what bloomers look like. A pumping - their shortened variety. This model is the work of the suffragists of the end of the last century. The length of these pants comes to the middle of the leg, the width is free. The bottom of the leg is going to cuff or elastic.
In addition, modern cropped trousers can be sewn in the likeness of other popular models: chinos, boyfriends, bananas. In all these cases, the length is often ankle-length or slightly higher.
Who is suitable?
Since the variety of models is very large, shortened pants can be chosen for women of any age and with a very different build. The main rule - they must have a perfect fit. There are few strict prohibitions, among them:
- full legs;
- a combination of low height and excess weight;
- short legs (girls of medium height can have this drawback);
- too voluminous figure.
Of course, tall and slender girls were lucky. They can wear absolutely any model of shortened trousers without any complaints. For girls with minor defects in shape, you can try shortened trousers made of dense fabrics of dark colors to visually lengthen the legs and give them slimness.
Women, who consider their ankles too voluminous, will be helped by a model of shortened trousers with coarse trouser legs, ending with lapels. This combination will make the lower leg visually much more fragile and thin.
Owners of medium height, short legs and voluminous shapes can try to smooth out the proportions of the body with the help of shortened pants that have a high waist.
Fabrics
Most often, cropped trousers are sewn from fairly dense fabrics that keep their shape well. The exception is culottes and gaucho, which have rather wide legs and the style of which allows playfully flowing folds. Such models can also be sewn from lighter and softer fabrics.
Cotton materials look good and maintain a feeling of comfort in the summer. This season are relevant muslin, batiste, chiffon, volts. Options for autumn and spring - crepe, rep, garus, poplin.
Winter fabric for cropped trousers is often represented by a bike, flannel or a little forgotten by all bozazeys.
Knitted cropped trousers - more for demi-season. Celanic, mahra, cashcorse - designers are experimenting with a variety of variations in the use of knitwear. Costumes are also widely used. These pants - if we consider them for the office - are relevant all year round.
Denim shortened women's pants - a versatile thing for both business and for an informal atmosphere.
Trendy colors
As always, classic and conservatism in the first place. Black and white models of cropped women's pants are relevant at all times. There are both monophonic and two-color variations. The most popular print on such trousers is a vertical strip.
Some more classics - traditional trouser colors will always be relevant. All shades of gray, dark blue, brown, beige. These pants are appropriate not only in the office, but also in everyday informal worries.
Pastel gamma demand in the summer. Mint, lavender, lemon, cream colors - these colors seem to refresh in the heat of July. In the cool time I want to warm up with color. Red fiesta, green flash, burning mustard or a magnificent emerald will help with this!
What can I wear with short pants?
The most important issue in this regard is the choice of shoes. The main taboo - no boots. Cropped trousers are designed to show graceful ladies' ankles, and shoes are chosen such that can emphasize this part of the body. An elegant combination with classic shoes with heels or pumps.
Lovers of flat shoes are advised to combine cropped trousers with loafers, moccasins, stylish sandals.
These pants are perfectly combined with shirts (both with long and with short sleeves), tops, blouses, jackets. The upper part of the ensemble may have a basque or be multi-layered. In the latter case, one of these layers can be a cardigan.
Of the accessories for the shortened trousers, the most suitable are the elegant and feminine hats, original handbags, neck scarves and stylish belts.
