The style of skinny jeans comes and goes and this is especially so for women with longer legs. Skinny jeans fail to compliment longer legs whilst wide leg pants give an appearance of having even longer legs. Thankfully, skinny jeans are finally coming to the end of their vogue and women are once again embracing the wide leg look!
Whether in jeans or vibrant pant designs, here are a few of the reasons to embrace wide leg look this Aussie winter:
1. Wide leg pants make you look taller
Finding some stunning wide leg pants – like those found in a Boom Shankar sale – is a blessing for women who want to look taller. Skinny jeans simply aren’t for every woman: they make petite women look shorter than they are and can look incongruous on taller women.
Conversely, wide leg pants compliment every woman’s figure, making them look taller regardless of their actual height! What’s more, they can accentuate your curves, hugging your hips and thighs whilst curving out stylishly towards the ankles.
The best way to ensure they accentuate your curves is to wear high-waisted wide leg pants as these will hug further around your hips and make you look taller. What’s more, find a pair that crops around the ankles, as this will still show off the skinniest part of your legs.
Finally, combine them with a pair of heeled shoes or boots, as this will once again make you look taller!
2. They show off your curves
Skinny jeans can accentuate curves in all the wrong ways. What’s more, they can be relentless after enjoying a big meal, showing off our bodies in a way we wish they wouldn’t! Conversely, wide leg pants allow us to accentuate our natural waist whilst making us look taller.
It’s important to be conscious of scale with wide leg pants. When wearing them, you should consider wearing a top that isn’t very baggy, as it could create a shapeless look. You might want to consider wearing a crop top or a tight t-shirt with your wide leg pants. Finally, tie-waisted wide leg pants with a shirt or t-shirt tucked in is a great way to show off your figure!
3. They provide an incredibly versatile look
Wide leg pants can be worn for any occasion. A casual get-together, at the office, a weekend away – wherever! They are the perfect blend of casual-yet-professional, allowing you to experiment with styles that are for laid-back and formal occasions.
For example, you might like to try a pair of vibrant Boom Shankar pants for a weekend at the beach. But when you get back to work a pair of classic wide leg black pants will go perfectly with boots or heels.
4. They are incredibly comfortable
We’re glad the skinny jeans era is coming to end especially as they are just so uncomfortable. They hug the body in all the wrong places and feel really tight when sitting.
Conversely, wide leg pants are incredibly comfortable in all situations. They allow plenty of room to breathe whether jeans or pants. What’s more, they have plenty of room to move and enjoy sitting down as if you were home in your trackies.
Finally, choosing a lightweight material is perfect for warm spring and summer occasions when you feel like dressing up but are not in the mood for a skirt. So, yes, we welcome their comeback and are really here for it!
