Short trousers

If a couple of seasons ago it was extremely fashionable to tuck trousers, making them shorter and more stylish, today this number is hopelessly outdated. Moreover, trousers are considered not just unfashionable, but inappropriate vestiges. But the fashion for a trouser leg, revealing the beauty of a woman's leg, has not gone anywhere. Now the trend is short pants with a length above the ankle, 7/8 or ¾. We will tell you how to choose them and what to wear with.

The main feature of these trousers is the ratio of the length to the width of the legs. At the same time, wide legs can be either straight or flared.

There are models of wide short trousers, the legs of which end in cuffs, slightly pinching them.

Cropped trousers for women have different names depending on the length and width. Capri pants, culottes, gaucho, pumpas - we'll talk in detail about each variety below.

The variety of modern models of women's cropped trousers can be difficult to choose. The optimal length is selected individually for each model. All types of cropped pants are divided in length into two categories: mid-calf and just above the ankle. In summer outfits, as well as in options for early fall or late spring, any of these lengths will be acceptable. In colder seasons, cropped trousers are only allowed ankle length.

Consider the most popular options for modern models of cropped women's trousers.

Capri... This model has a straight cut and slightly tapered legs. Their width is rather narrow, but not tight-fitting. They are only lightly attached to the legs. They are often made of dense fabrics and have arrows.

Pantaloons... Leg widths range from just wide to very wide. These trousers can be either mid-calf or just above the ankle. But the optimal model, suitable for almost everyone, is moderately wide trousers (they are sometimes called skirt-trousers) with a length just below the knee.

Gaucho... Another model that resembles a skirt-trousers. Their length is usually up to the knee or slightly lower. Such trousers appeared in South Africa many years ago. They were intended for women who go in for horseback riding.

Pumpas... Everyone knows what harem pants look like. And pumpas are a shortened version of them. This model is the work of the suffragists of the end of the last century. The length of such trousers reaches the middle of the lower leg, the width is free. The bottom of the legs is gathered with a cuff or elastic band.

In addition, modern cropped trousers can be tailored in the likeness of other popular models: chinos, boyfriends, bananas. In all these cases, the length is most often ankle-length or slightly higher.

Since the variety of models is very large, cropped trousers can be selected for women of any age and with a wide variety of complexions. The main rule is that they must have a perfect fit. There are few strict prohibitions, among them:

• full legs;
• a combination of short stature and excess weight;
• short legs (girls of average height can also have this drawback);
• too voluminous figure.

Of course, tall and slender girls are lucky. They can wear absolutely any model of cropped trousers without any complaints. For girls with minor body defects, you can try cropped trousers made of dense fabrics in dark colors to visually lengthen the legs and make them slim.

For women who think their ankles are too voluminous, a model of cropped trousers with rough legs ending in cuffs will help. This combination will visually make the lower leg much more fragile and thinner.

Most often, cropped trousers are made from fairly dense fabrics that keep their shape well. The exceptions are culottes and gauchos, which have rather wide legs and the very style of which allows playful flowing folds. Such models can be sewn from lighter and softer fabrics.

Cotton materials look good and keep you comfortable in summer. Muslin, cambric, chiffon, volta are relevant this season. Options for autumn and spring are crepe, reps, garus, poplin.

Knitted cropped trousers - a more option for the demi-season. Selanik, makhra, kashkorse - designers are experimenting with a variety of variations in the use of knitwear. Suit fabrics are also widely used. Such trousers - if we consider them for the office - are relevant all year round.

As always, classics and conservatism come first. Black and white models of cropped trousers for women are relevant at all times. There are both monochromatic and two-color variations. The most popular print on these trousers now is the vertical strip.

A little more classics - the colors traditional for trousers will always be relevant. All shades of gray, dark blue, brown, beige. Such trousers are appropriate not only in the office, but also in everyday informal worries.

The most important question in this regard is the choice of footwear. The main taboo is no boots.Cropped trousers are designed to showcase a woman's graceful ankles, and shoes are chosen to highlight that part of the body. The combination with classic heels or pumps will be elegant.

Such trousers go well with shirts (both long and short sleeves), tops, blouses, jackets. The upper part of the ensemble can have a peplum or be multi-layered. In the latter version, one of such layers can be a cardigan.

The typical modern urban girl: black ankle-length pants, a simple white tank top and a minimalistic gray blazer. Elegant loafers and a chunky bag round off the look.

Do not be afraid of bright colors! Emerald pants, a cornflower blue coat and gold-tone pumps are the perfect ensemble to brighten up the gray fall days. A simple shirt to match the trousers will complete the look.

Lady in Black. Cropped trousers with a slightly high waistline, a translucent blouse with a geometric pattern tucked into the trousers, an elongated jacket, stylish sandals and a strict roomy bag. A thin, elegant strap completes the look. Such an outfit will come in handy both in the office and on a long trip.
