How To Wear Tapered Pants
Untitled Document TAPERED PANTS Learn How to Wear Tapered Pants and Look Good!
 | While many of us have vowed not to slip a leg back into a tapered pant, it seems that the look is starting to come back and take over the fashion world as we know it. Trends come and go, but the tapered pant is back in and ready to be worn for work or for play. If you are looking to try tapered pants, you should follow certain precautions first in order to achieve the look you want. | HOW TO WEAR TAPERED PANTS: Choose a Good Fit | Women get scared of these pants because they might not be buying the appropriate fit for their shape. When you are looking to purchase a pair of tapered pants, make sure that they are not completely fitted to your body. Allowing a little breathing room in the hips and throughout the legs will help make your lower body look longer and will be able to hide any imperfections rather than accentuate them. Let the pant sit directly on your waist. You do not want these pants to be too low or too high on your waistline. | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO WEAR TAPERED PANTS: Compliment the Look with the Right Top | Try wearing a billowy blouse or drapey tee that allows movement. This will allow the outfit to look as though both the top and bottom were made specifically for each other and that you are not trying to pull off a look that screams, “I don’t know what I’m doing!” Tuck your shirt into your pants to create an cinched waist. If the top is short enough and sits along your waistline, you can leave it out. |  | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO WEAR TAPERED PANTS: Keep it Structured | If you want a chic outfit for work, go for a more streamlined look. Pair your tapered pants with a structured top like a long sleeve button down shirt and tuck it in. To top off your tapered pants, a cropped leather jacket or blazer never fails. Try a belt to pull your whole look together. |  | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | HOW TO WEAR TAPERED PANTS: Wear Heels | Heels can always transform any casual outfit into a sexy, confident style instantly. These types of trouser pants should be worn with heels because wearing them with flats could make you look short and stumpy since they are a loose fit. Try wearing a pair of boots or booties with a casual tapered pant tucked in or a pair of pumps for a more sophisticated look that is appropriate for work. |  | Tapered trouser pants can be hard to work with at first, but when you start playing around with different looks, you may find that they will be your new “go to” pants. They are classy, comfortable and very sexy in their own demeanor and shouldn’t be shied away from. The shape of the pant will allow you to move and will also hide away any problem areas. Have fun with this look and try out different styles before you commit. This look is cool and confident, so you should feel that way when you find the right pant that suits you.
