For hundreds of years, trousers have been an element of an exclusively men's wardrobe, therefore, almost all the styles of this garment that exist today were invented for the stronger sex. This also applies to the subject of today's article - tapered trousers. Tapered trousers, called "breeches", were created to make it easier for men to ride. Unlike the classic straight legs, the tapered legs did not get tangled in the stirrups and did not cause any inconvenience to the rider.

What are tapered trousers for women?
Tapered trousers have many varieties, which are united by only one feature of the cut, namely, the tapering trousers. At the same time, the trousers themselves can be of absolutely any style - wide, narrow or straight, long or shortened.

The men's skinny trousers, which served as the prototype for the women's version of this garment, were loose at the hips and straight along the entire length, and the tapering began only at the ankle. Such trousers also settled in the women's wardrobe, but breeches were not particularly popular with the weaker sex, since this style can greatly spoil the figure if its parameters are far from the cherished ideal.

Now, specially for women, dozens of models of narrowed trousers have been invented, which not only do not distort, but on the contrary visually correct and expose the proportions of the figure in the most favorable light. At the same time, not only trousers with a narrow lower part of the legs are called narrowed, but also skinny trousers, which tightly fit the legs from the hips to the ankles.

In addition to the silhouette features, tapered trousers differ in the presence / absence of various constructive and decorative elements, for example, pockets, belts, fasteners, draperies, arrows, etc.

Who are they suitable for?
So, we found out that there are countless options for skinny trousers, it remains only to determine which style will suit your body type.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/08/zauzhennye-bryuki-161.jpg)
If you can boast of model parameters, that is, fairly tall, thin waist, long and slender legs, then your choice is practically unlimited. With such data, you can afford and breeches, and skinny, and banana pants. It should be noted that classic straight trousers, tapering downwards, are most suitable for this type of figure. For everyone else, this style of trousers is recommended to be combined only with shoes with very high heels.

Trousers that are loose in the hips are suitable for girls with luxurious shapes. They will balance the lush breasts and hide the extra pounds in the hips. To look even more effective, accentuate the waistline with a wide belt (or choose trousers with a high yoke).
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/08/zauzhennye-bryuki-165.jpg)
Tight trousers are also not contraindicated for full young ladies. But they need to choose a model more carefully: trousers with a high rise that do not fit the hips and calves, for example, 7/8 banana trousers, will do. It is better for lush beauties to refuse sports models made of thin jersey and tight-fitting trousers.

Flutes
Pipes - they look very elegant, compared to models of narrowed trousers with a wide top. On the thighs, the pipes sit quite tightly, but do not fit them. These trousers are usually slightly cropped and should be worn with high heels.

Cigarettes
These trousers are very similar to the previous model, but they have one small feature - folds-creases in those places where the legs are narrowed. One of the main advantages of these trousers is that they can be tucked into boots.

Skinny
These are trousers or jeans made of elastic material. Such trousers fit like a second skin, highlighting all the advantages and disadvantages of the figure. That is why this style is not recommended for both very thin and very plump girls.

What is the best length for skinny pants?
Stylists advise choosing the length of the trousers, based on one fundamental principle: the narrower the lower part of the trousers, the shorter they should be, and vice versa.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2016/08/zauzhennye-bryuki-141.jpg)
That is, flared trousers should be as long as possible, and tapered trousers look best in a shortened version. Ideally, tapered trousers should be 2-3 cm shorter than classic models, but you also need to take into account the height of the heel and the thickness of the ankles.
