How To Wear Wide Leg Trousers If You Wear Plus Size Clothes

Wide leg trousers are one the top trends for this year. Most wide leg trousers are being made in great fabrics such as blended wool or cool linen, making them a perfect way to add a bit of personality to work clothes.

This look is sophisticated, powerful and also looks very expensive, no matter how much (or how little) you may have spent on your outfit. But knowing what to pair with these trousers can be tricky.

As disappointing as it can be, some of the latest trends aren't exactly designed for all body types. Wide leg trousers are one of those trends. Because this look adds width to the figure, it is most flattering on taller women. However one way to minimize the effects of wide leg trousers is to buy a pair in a dark colour, such as black or brown, or a pair with pinstripes. Lighter shades will just add more width to your silhouette.

If you are petite, don't go too wide. Instead, where them long with super high heels. Wide cuffs look better on longer legs. A boyish figure should wear the trouser with a high waist as a curvier figure should stick to flat fronted waistbands. Also avoid pleated front trousers as they just add volume. The trouser hem should skim the ground for a slimming look. Wide leg trousers should fit loosely and just skim your curves.

Another way to keep your figure looking slim while wearing a pair of wide leg trousers is to pair them with the perfect top. Since you've already added extra width to your lower half, it's best to not do the same to your upper half. Keep billowy blouses and empire style tops as far away from your wide leg trousers as possible. Instead, opt for something sleek and fitted such as a long sleeve wrap top.

The tops that you pair with the wide leg trousers should be close fitting on your torso. In fact, any type of long sleeve top in a rather thin material (no bulky sweaters, please), with a v-neck is a good choice. Looking for a top that's fairly long and ends at the hip is highly recommended. Accessorise the look with a long strand of beads to further elongate your upper body.

Wearing a good pair of high heels is the best way to make up the height of the wide leg trouser. Steer clear of flats or dainty shoes with low heels, as they won't stand a chance against all that fabric! They simply won't show up or will just make you look as if you're not wearing any shoes!

Plus Size trousers usually have a long inseam, therefore a heal is necessary otherwise they will drag on the ground and not look chic, just shabby! The best rule of thumb is to go high and narrow. A boot or a shoe with a high stiletto heel is the best option. Long and narrow will elongate the leg length and make the best impression.
