Every time the winters leave with its Seasonal Affective Disorder, the summers splash with colors, pizzazz and flaunting bods, though sweaty mornings and scorching noons also come handy in city like Delhi. But summers in a way or other are a big relief after gloomily frozen winters, or maybe we love a change. Now when ice creams have usurped the mid night hot pan cake sessions and cozy knits flinched for sheers, it’s time to embrace summers in its all style and hues.
The runways around the world this season are counting on vintage fashion in a veil of modernity. One such trend is the resurgence of cropped pants with a modern take. Designers like Isabel Marant, Diane Von Furstenberg, Balmain and Fendi have displayed a wide range of leather, denim and printed cropped pants vying for attention. From high waisted ankle skimming pants to relaxed draw-up mid-calf sitting pants, it’s all about raising you hem in a style. Or, capri pants (not a la 90s but tailored, slim, ankle grazing) and wide legged cropped pants can bring a metamorphosis if paired duly.
Pulling off a specific style is not necessarily based on one particular piece but how and what you wear with it. Slim cut skinny denims or cigarette pants have been in vogue for last many seasons but this time just roll them up slightly for a trendy change. For a sleek look go for khaki pants with a bit longer length halfway between mid-calf and ankle and pair them up with a fitted top, a blazer and platform heels. Wear your Capri pants in lady like style with kitten heels and ballet shoes. And team it up with nautical stripes top for a chic look. For high waisted pants, a tucked in tank top or button down shirt are perfect to opt for.
The trend for petite frames comes with few cautions as crop pants can make them look shorter. So avoid having the hem stop at the fullest part of your calf but it should hit your leg at a shapely point. Besides avoid flats and opt for a bit of heel and monochromatic look. Similarly, high waisted pants accentuate the buttock area so let them be for slender builds.
