I think it’s an interesting question. For while low-rise
pants tend to flatter very few women, cropped pants can
work well on a variety of figures, provided they follow a
few simple guidelines.

Before we get to them, however, let me define exactly the
style I’m referring to, so that we’re all on the same page.

Cropped pants, also known as pedal pushers, clam diggers,
and Capris, are a style of pants that ends somewhere
between the knee and the ankle, usually at mid-calf.
They’ve gone in and out of fashion several times since the
1950’s, and are currently enjoying renewed popularity.

They are not for everyone, however.

Because of where they hit on the leg, they can emphasize
several things. For example:

*If you’re petite, they can make you look shorter.

*If you’re bottom heavy, they can make you look heavier.

*If you have short legs, they can make them look shorter.

*If you have thick ankles, they can make them look thicker.

Notice that I said, “can” in every situation. This isn’t a
given. Much of it can depend on the color, cut, style of
hem, and shoes that you choose.

Let’s look at these one by one:

COLOR

Dark or muted colors will make you look smaller, light or
bright colors will make you look bigger. Small prints work
better on small bodies, large prints work better on large
or tall bodies.

CUT

The most flattering cut for trim bodies of all heights
tends to be flat front with tapered legs. This style
elongates the body and offers a chic, uncluttered line -
which is why it was favored by the likes of Jacqueline
Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn during their summer vacations,
and promptly copied the world over.

The least flattering cut tends to be the drawstring look
with straight or flared hem. While many women choose this
style for comfort, it creates a rectangular block of fabric
from waist to hem, visually adding pounds and subtracting
height. If you are petite, heavy, or have thick ankles,
this style will magnify all of these things.

STYLE OF HEM

The most flattering hem for most women is plain and
tapered. The least flattering is flared with a cuff. The
former will elongate, the latter will shorten and widen.

If you’re a bit heavy and feel that a tapered hem makes
your hips or upper thighs look bigger, try a straight leg
style instead. Do NOT opt for a flared hem to try to
offset your hips – unless you want to look the same size
from hips to hem.

SHOES

For years, the ballerina flat was the shoe of choice to
wear with cropped pants. In recent years, high heels,
sandals, slides, and flip-flops have found their way on to
the team as well.

Your best shoe choices create an unbroken line from hem to
toe with minimal material that compliments — rather than
competes with – your pants. Shoes that are the same color
as pants, white, or flesh-colored are all good choices.

Avoid chunky, heavy shoes, or shoes that compete with your
hem. All of these will call attention to your feet, chop
you up visually, and make you look shorter.

Cropped pants are a great warm weather alternative to
shorts for those chilly nights, dressy casual occasions, or
for women who just hate to bare their legs in shorts. They
look great on women of many heights, sizes, and ages,
provided they’re chosen with care.

If you look for styles that flatter your figure and
elongate your body, you’ll look great AND stylish. So
don’t necessarily cross these off your list. Just take a
little time to find the looks that work best for you.

Your wardrobe is boring probably because of one reason; you are lacking the ultimate fashion cure, the black pants. Pants will remain just pants or transform into something else if you so wish, but there is so little you can do about the beauty of the black pants. They simply are in their own class fashion-wise and have endured the test of time and diversified taste to stand tall as the perfect choice for many, whether men or women. You picked that pair of men’s black pants off the shelf probably because you loved the color, or simply because they looked good on you and you were not bothered about the color, yet one thing still stands, black fitting pants are the bomb.

There are a number of reasons why you would want a pair of black pants. Most if not all of these are based personal preference, and this article will leave them as so. This article will just discuss the amazing allure of this piece of clothing. If you lack a pair, then its time you did your wardrobe a favor and added a dark tint to the contrasting colors. A perfect pair of black pants will make you look thin if you considered yourself fat. They have a powerful slimming power and will work well with almost everything in your wardrobe. They are as casual and comfortable as jeans.

Finding the perfect pair can be a daunting task. The only foolproof way of getting the best pair is hitting the stores. If you are a lady and love shopping alone, try tagging along two of your best friends to this particular shopping spree. With each woman comes a different agenda when shopping for black pants. Capitalize on these differences to get the perfect pair. Make sure you look and feel comfortable in your pants. Black women’s pants are perfect for both the casual and professional setting. Couple the black color with a white shirt and a jacket to be on the overkill mode when making your presentation. When relaxing at home, you can still look elegant and stylish in a pair of the same. You just need to complete the effect with the right t-shirt or blouse. You have a wide variety from which to pick. Exercise your right to variety and compare the offers and the pieces in the offing.

It seems womens pants these days are all in the skinny pants category. Leather is perfect for this, and virtually anyone can look fantastic in a pair of sleek leather pants along with anything from sexy stilettos to more bulky leather boots. But don’t worry, if you can’t pull off the skinny pants look, there are options in leather that will go great with your body type. Rather than go with the trend in the cut of the pants, go with the cut that flatters your body.

There is a time and place for every fashion, but think twice before donning leather from head to toe. Sure, it is a great way to pull off the vampire look, or perhaps turn heads at that costume party as a dominatrix. But for everyday fashion, this is usually not the way to go. Consider wearing a loose fitting top with your hot, tight leather pants. One of the benefits of leather is it lets you be sexy without really showing any skin. Maybe you prefer to show a little belly with a half shirt and cover your lower body with leather. Any of these looks are sure to be head turners. Leather is a great way to get away from what we see all too often with women showing way too much in an attempt to be sexy. A sexy pair of women’s leather pants gives you a lot of flexibility with your top so you can go in any direction your mood dictates.

It used to be that leather pants did not have a place in a woman’s work wardrobe. Things are different today as there are some very classy looking leather suits available that are more than appropriate for the workplace. A great way to not be too over the top with leather in the workplace is to go with a silk or cotton blouse under your leather jacket or vest.

As you can see, leather is a fashion item that is not limited to a season or any particular setting. Like anything else, you can go over the top with it if you try hard enough. But, with a little fashion sense, you can also be the talk of the club, or office, or anywhere else you choose with the right pair of womens leather pants
