Stylish skirt-trousers

The eternal choice between femininity and practicality, between seductiveness and chastity makes women toss about: skirt or pants? But today you can not choose between them, but combine in one thing!

Stylish skirt-trousers are feminine, practical and comfortable at the same time. How to choose and wear this current trend, we will tell you in our article.

Many people call this garment a skirt-trousers, but this name is colloquial.

Sometimes the name "pants-skirt" is found, and it also has a right to exist. After all, as you know, the sum does not change from a change in the places of the terms. Like it or not, we are talking about a hybrid of two important functional items from the ladies' wardrobe.

For all its simplicity and versatility, a trouser skirt can be very intricate in cut. And this only adds zest to this trendy thing. Combining the features of two essential elements of a wardrobe, a skirt-pants allows you to create a practical and stylish look. But it appeared almost 200 years ago! And all this time, the development of new original styles with different lengths and widths of legs continues.

In that era, there was still no question of women walking the streets in trousers. Only dresses or skirts were allowed, and, moreover, long, completely hiding the legs.This thing, which strongly resembles a skirt, but at the same time has trousers - a clear sign of trousers - was perceived very controversially.

Not finding a wide response from the public, the skirt-trousers were made for some women's sports in small quantities. It was sewn from dense fabric, observing the classic silhouette and floor length. The thing received a second life only almost a century later.

In 1911, a famous couturier included a skirt-trousers in his collection, and the popularity of the style increased. Since then, it has grown steadily to this day.

A modern trouser skirt is most often mid-calf length or completely covers the legs. At the same time, it gracefully fits the waist area, as well as the upper part of the buttocks, smoothly going down in a free cut. The fabric itself can be either smooth or pleated. Landing can be classic, high or low. The belt itself is designed both traditionally for trousers and simplified (for example, an elastic band is simply sewn in).

For a greater variety of the line of skirt-trousers, designers are experimenting with the use of various original elements: draperies, cuts, secret pockets.

Skirt trousers are a very versatile thing. However, when choosing such a thing for yourself, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the figure and, mainly, growth. A slender girl can safely try on a model of any length and width.

But if there is a need to give additional volume to the hips, give preference to pleated skirt-trousers.

Models with a high waistline will help create the effect of longer legs. They will also be relevant for those who need to visually add harmony.

Overweight women should pay attention to those models that tightly fit the upper thighs, have bell-bottomed legs and are made of light flowing fabrics.

For girls with wide hips and narrow shoulders, as well as owners of X-shaped legs, a skirt-trousers will be a real salvation. She will cover up these shortcomings, leaving only dignity to the eyes of others.

And for those with wide shoulders and a narrow pelvis, on the contrary, it will help to achieve a harmonious silhouette.

In the case of a rectangular figure, when the waistline is not clearly defined, as well as those with too thin legs, a skirt-trousers will help to achieve seductive feminine curves.

The most relevant this season are skirt trousers of the most free cut.

This assumes two lengths - maxi or just below the knee (to mid-calf). The last option is nothing more than the previously mentioned culottes. Styles - exciting bell bottom and silhouette, reminiscent of a skirt-sun.

Maxi models can also be heavily flared or have a straight silhouette. Moreover, their fit will directly depend on the fabric from which they are made. Rigid materials will hold their shape and create a strong look. Flowing fabrics will create a feeling of lightness, airiness and romance.

The variety of skirt-trousers this season is carried out precisely at the expense of fabrics and colors, since there is no particular variety with styles. Except for the appearance of rather narrow models. They are much wider than capri pants, but in comparison with a classic skirt-trousers, they have rather narrow legs.

The most original and popular model now, in addition to the classic ones, is the wrap skirt. It even more resembles a classic loose-fitting skirt, but at the same time retains all the virtues of a fashionable and functional hybrid item. Many world famous brands have adopted this model and offer their customers this season a noticeable variety of similar offers.

The smell is formed in the front, it can be a small piece of fabric that reveals one of the legs diagonally, or it can completely create an imitation of a skirt in the front.

This original model is another great option for the modern office style. And made in brighter colors, the wrap skirt-trousers will be an excellent basis for a romantic look or evening dress.

This season, the trends are so democratic that almost any material has the right to exist. The fundamental difference should be indicated only depending on the season.

Light airy fabrics (chiffon, satin, silk, etc.) are appropriate. Anything that falls and flows carelessly is suitable for summer culottes. Any colors are possible: bright and pastel, black and white, geometric and floral prints - a complete flight of imagination. Lace is also relevant for summer.

At the first glance from the side, they look like a regular skirt. And only when walking is the trouser cut exposed. This mystery and duality is the main highlight of the skirt-trousers.

In the cooler season, denser fabrics, for example, suit fabrics, are relevant. Cotton and linen are also appropriate, but you can already afford to wear a skirt-trousers made of knitted or denim fabric.

At this time of the year, you can turn to original skirts-trousers made of woolen fabrics (tweed, flannel, etc.), as well as thick leather. Paid denim will also be appropriate during the cold season.

The length, like the style, is selected according to the figure. No problem areas on your body? Fine! You can afford anything you want.

But if there are some drawbacks, then the length of this stylish thing should be aimed at disguising them and highlighting all the advantages.

Owners of a problematic figure and skin in the thigh area should also give preference to models made of denser fabrics, even in summer, since thin materials can expose imperfections.

The color should correspond to the situation for which the skirt-trousers are selected. For every day - both in the office and for a walk - there is a calm range (all shades of gray, dark blue, brown tones, black).

Pastel colors are in demand as never before. Lemon, lavender, pale blue, light pink, caramel, cream - suitable for any informal setting.

Pastel should flow with long legs to the floor, conquering parties, social events, theaters and other places of leisure.

Black and white are also in trend, but more appropriate in the midi length and within the office.

Another office option is jersey, cotton in black, white, brown, beige, gray or dark blue.

Another great option for every day is a novelty of the latest fashion shows - a denim skirt-trousers. This material is more relevant today than ever. Depending on the density of denim, such a skirt-trousers will be appropriate in a given situation (both at a meeting with friends and at business negotiations).This is a great opportunity not to wear banal jeans, but at the same time not to change your love for denim.

The rule that applies to owners of all types of figures is that the top to the skirt-trousers should be tight-fitting. It can be a T-shirt, blouse or turtleneck.

In general, you can safely take the same top as under jeans (with the exception of sports things such as sweatshirts). Very thin young ladies are allowed to wear a looser top with a trouser skirt.

With regards to shoes, in most cases, the rule works: a skirt-trousers should be combined with a high heel.

But modern fashion trends are making their own adjustments. Previously, only very tall women were allowed to combine this type of clothing with flat shoes. But today an exception can be made. The fact is that the most fashionable model of trousers-skirts - with cropped legs - is ideally combined with loafers, oxfords and rough sandals with thick but flat soles.

Accessories for such an outfit can be multi-layer beads, scarves that create volume in the upper part of the silhouette, long earrings, as well as large wrist bracelets.

What this piece was once invented for: a simple trouser skirt in the still fashionable shade of Marsala, a light skinny top and minimalist sandals to match it - a perfect outfit for cycling.

Flowing fabrics and pleated fabric of palazzo trousers, in a soft pastel version, this suit is charming and effective so that it will conquer everyone at any party!

A straight-cut skirt-trousers with arrows - an elegant option for an office suit. Add tailored pumps and a black and white upper for an outfit that's timeless.
