Trend Alert - Slouchy Trousers • The Fashionable Housewife

Slouchy Trousers – the perfect spring pant that can be worn from work straight into your weekend. These menswear-inspired cropped pants are totally sophisticated and chic and go perfectly with layered looks and blazers.

How To Wear:

These cropped pants should be roomy, but still have a tailored look. You want them to fit like a glove around the hips and waist, but have a relaxed and loose feel to them from the thighs downward. You also want to make sure that the hemline falls 2″ to 4″ inches below your knee. If you are below 5′ 4″ you want them to come right below the knee. If you are very tall, you can get away with wearing them 4″ to 5″ inches below the knee. For a good example of these pants, click here.

These pants work well for any body shape. To get the most flattering silhouette in these type of pants, you want to wear a smart looking blazer that is cropped to fall right under your ribcage or about 4″ above your belly button. You want to pair it with a long tunic length tank, camisole, or blouse that falls about 2″ to 4″ below your hips.

To complete your look, wear feminine pumps or slingbacks ^{(what’s this?)} in a neutral color. Avoid shoes with patterns or fancy detailing. That would take away from the tailored menstyle look of this outfit. A great pair of shoes like these would be perfect.
