Proportion Report: How to wear the Slouchy, Cropped Pant
Fall Trend: Slouchy, Cropped Pants
Voluminous, slouchy, and incredibly flattering (when worn the right way)–the new & cropped take on menswear inspired fashion should come with a buyer’s manual. Worn with the wrong pieces, this high-fashion item can turn into a not so graceful ensemble. Thankfully, we have taken the time to create a sort of “how to” guide to creating looks that won’t leave you looking like a fashion disaster, but will make you feel cool, confident, and timelessly classic when putting this trend back to all the RIGHT items.
First things first, if you haven’t snatched up a pair, you will need to do so. Elizabeth and James, becoming a cult favorite amongst all of us at shopchantal.com, has created our “it” slouchy version. The Suiting Flat Front Peg Pant is the perfect shade of charcoal making it a versatile choice!
Shown here with Walter’s Chestnut Multi Plaid Tunic, a studded belt, and Pour La Victoire’s Blanche Heel, The Suiting Flat Front Peg Pant is worn both effortlessly & edgy.
The secret to pulling off this look is to balance the proportions of a relaxed, slouchy pant with a slim-fitting top that should be worn tucked in, if the top doesn’t fit snug right at the waist. Some other important factors to keep in mind include:
1. Best worn with heels, the slouchy pant can look a bit messy when worn with a flat shoe. The heel brings a sort of “heightened” illusion to the silhouette that gives your body a longer and leaner look.
2. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize: Due to it’s menswear-inspired nature, the pant should be paired with bold jewelry, studded accessories, and always a statement belt to create a polished, feminine look that doesn’t skip a beat.
3. When layering on top with a slouchy pant, keep in mind to not add too much bulk on top! Graham and Spencer’s Modal Slub L/S Tee under their Washed Silk Cami creates a group of thin layers that won’t overpower the slouchy fit on the bottom.
When keeping these simple “rules” in mind, the slouchy pant is extremely flattering by disguising not so flattering areas of the hip, thigh, and butt while being super comfortable due to the level of freedom and movement the relaxed shape gives to the wearer.
