We’ve seen this silhouette emerge in the form of the boyfriend jean, and it’s evolving across fabrications into slouchy trousers this spring. It’s comfy and cozy, and has a lot of personality. We know you might be thinking…cute, but can I pull it off? The key to making it work is to not let yourself get lost in your look. The slouchy pant naturally has more volume on bottom, so this is the place to wear your slim fitting tops. Remember volume on top and volume on bottom equal volume allover (which means no one gets to see YOU in there!). A billowy blouse can still work, just make sure to tuck or half-tuck to give your waist definition. If you’re thinking of giving it a try but aren’t sure how to make it work for you, let one of these looks inspire you.
The Basics: A slouchy fit chino isn’t overly “trendy” and might be a fit you already have in your closet! Roll up the bottom to show some ankle, and pair with some strappy sandals or wedges. A comfy yet fitted knit blazer over a drappy tank feels easy, yet chic. You likely own something similar to all of these pieces – it’s all in the styling (ie. rolled cuff, pushed up sleeve, half tucked top)!
Beachy Keen: Loving this guazy pair for a comfy, beachy look. Great for your casual days, and much more fashionable than your workout clothes! Pair with a solid drapey tank (half tucked) and cozy, light-weight striped cardi…so easy, so comfy.
Dressed Up: That’s right, they come in prints too! The printed version is typically a silky fabric, which is naturally a bit dressier. We love these off of a pretty lace top, and understated accessories. A fresh look for a baby/wedding shower this spring…or throw on a spring leather jacket to cover up at the office.
