Pleated pants: a guide to wear them according to your height

petite silhouette

The wide-leg pants on trend for spring-summer 2021 already gave us an indication of what would be the cut that would highlight the petite silhouette in style. We refer to the pleated pants that we have seen in the recent summer collection of the firm Elie Saab. If you are petite, the high waist and the silhouette that emulates a palazzo cut represents heaven for those who want to visually prolong their physiognomy. You can use the creation that we see here as well as opt for a considerably wide leg design, as Carolina Herrera has pointed out, or even benefit from a double buttoning at the waist as proposed by Adeam.

Average height

If you are of medium height and are on the lookout for the perfect pleated trousers to wear on a multitude of occasions, the French designer Alexandre Blanc has been in charge of bringing to the scene that elegant cut with a straight leg and high waist that will dazzle with a medium height. , also constituting a more than suggestive option for the petite silhouette, and that you can capture on the same canvas with a shirt with a bow as well as with a tank top or casual t-shirt.

On the other hand, those who have a height between petite and tall will find an undeniable ally in the pleated pants that are characterized by a medium waist and a flared style as it approaches the bottom of the pants. Thus, the alternative that Valentino has displayed in its spring-summer 2021 presentation translates into a great success for the height in question. Although be careful, if you do not want it to take a few centimeters off your look, better opt for a high-waisted waist.

Tall

Among the benefits of having vast centimeters above average height is the fact that the trousers at the hip will look great if we combine them with a blazer and a t-shirt or shirt. Beyond the classic black or white, do not hesitate to bet on designs that are overflowing with joy, with psychedelic prints or why not floral.

Bonus track

It should be noted that the pleated pants that are wrapped in the tapered silhouette are emerging as another of the great winners for those who measure above 1.70. This cut, somewhat loose in the upper legs and a little tighter in the lower part of the body, promises great looks with bralettes and crop tops. In addition, it is a style of pants that can occupy a privileged place in the wardrobe of all women, you just have to pay attention to the bag effect of the central area so that it does not take away centimeters from the visual.
