Ankle trousers
The undisputed trend of this season is ankle-length trousers. This model also has another name - 7/8 trousers, since they are shorter than the standard ones by exactly 1/8 of the length. The main feature of these trousers is that any girl or woman can feel fashionable, stylish and attractive in them.
Peculiarities
When choosing cropped trousers, it is important to pay attention to the depth of their fit, it should be exactly along the waist line. When trying on ankle-length tight trousers, pay attention to whether they are too tight on the hips, especially in the groin area. 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 the stretch fabric with a high elastane content is quite pleasantly felt on the body, but in reality it is quite inconvenient to wear such trousers, they will protrude all the existing irregularities of the figure, as well as highlight the underwear.
For 7/8 trousers, it is better to choose medium-density fabric with a low content of elastane: trousers made of such material keep their shape perfectly, do not wrinkle or stretch on the knees.
Who are they suitable for?
Straight ankle-length trousers with arrows and small cuffs will suit exceptionally slender young ladies. Straight cut 7/8 trousers in dark solid colors will help to create the image of a successful and self-confident business woman.
Breeches, narrow at the bottom, but wide at the hips, with many folds at the waist, are well suited for ladies with wide hips, as their fullness can be successfully disguised in the folds of the trousers.
Ankle-length chinos can also be an indispensable option for trousers for curvy ladies.In order to avoid giving excessive massiveness to the hips, it is worth giving preference to pants with not too deep folds and tucks, but with ordinary darts on the belt.
Short girls and women can be advised to wear ankle-length trousers with light-colored shoes, in this way you can achieve the effect of lengthening the legs, but black shoes, on the contrary, can visually make their legs even shorter.
Models
The most common models and styles of this season:
Chinos... This model of loose pants with diagonally cut side pockets and small creases at the waistline is very popular. The legs taper slightly towards the bottom and end at the narrowest point of the lower leg.
Ankle-length chinos are a great alternative to jeans.
Breeches - these are pants that are narrow at the bottom, but rather wide at the hips. There are many folds at the waist that smoothly go down. Such trousers usually have pockets inside, and they are usually worn with a narrow strap. This style of tapered trousers suits ladies with wide hips, as their fullness is successfully hidden in the folds.
Famous banana trousers are again on the wave of popularity, as in the 80s of the last century. Usually these trousers are characterized by smoothed frogs that visually lengthen the legs.

Pantaloons... This model of wide trousers, outwardly similar to a midi skirt, can be almost straight or extended, with a length slightly below or slightly above the mid-calf. They look great only on fashion models, the rest can be advised to try on culottes up to ankle length or slightly above it.
Boyfriend jeans - a popular model with trousers tucked just above the ankle. Classic "boyfriends" are usually without pintucks and folds at the waist. The easily recognizable shape comes out due to a rather low fit at the waist and tapering to the bottom of the legs.
What to wear with?
To make the ankle-length trousers look harmonious, it is advisable to select the top lighter than the trousers. In the case of imperfect proportions of the lower body, unnecessary emphasis will not be placed on it, as the attention of others will move to the face.
Blouses, T-shirts, blouses and turtlenecks in white, pale blue or yellow will look good with blue trousers.
The set, matched in monochrome colors, will also look great. The presence of arrows on the legs and high heels will also help make your legs visually longer and slimmer.
In an office with straight ankle-length trousers, you should wear a strict blouse, jacket, pumps and modest accessories. On vacation, summer 7/8 trousers will look great with elongated light tunics. Classic ankle-length trousers made of denser fabric are also suitable for demi-season weather - in coolness they can be combined with loose pullovers and cardigans, and, if necessary, supplemented with a windbreaker or parka.
Sports models of ankle-length pants can be combined well with sports T-shirts, T-shirts and sweatshirts. Cropped chinos go well with hand-knitted sweaters and pullovers, as well as patterned T-shirts.
Fashionable ankle-length tight trousers go well with light ballet flats, moccasins, slippers and loafers, but high-heeled shoes or sandals will still make your figure more slender and fit. Boots, ankle boots and ankle boots should be avoided so that they do not disguise an interesting length.
Culottes and a cropped skirt-trousers will look good with high boots - over the knee boots. Popular short pipe trousers look good with lace-up boots or flat boots.
Shoes with low soles in a masculine style, for example, Oxfords, should be selected only for the classic style of trousers with arrows.
