Women's trousers began to gain popularity during the war years when women started working in factories. Although at that time they wore men's trousers belonging to their husbands, brothers, or fathers.
Later, women rolled up their tight trousers to the knee for comfort while cycling or riding horses. It was probably at this point that great Parisian couturiers paused to create a practical garment for women, adapted to their bodies. It was then, thanks to this fashion house, that women's trousers began to be distributed worldwide.
Today, there are countless trends, designs, and styles of this garment: flared trousers, harem trousers, jeans, capris, or skinny jeans are just some of the models that have emerged in recent years to flatter every type of female body. Below, we've listed the types of trousers that are currently popular and their characteristics:
Flat-Bell Trousers
Flat-bell trousers became fashionable in the 70s, inspired by a bohemian style. They are tight-fitting trousers from the waist to the knee, from which they begin to widen to the ankles. These types of trousers look perfect on any body type, especially on tall women.
Skinny Trousers
Skinny trousers, also called skinny jeans, have a straight cut and are fitted to the leg from the waist to the ankles. They flatter the figure, and high-waisted styles make legs look slimmer and longer. You can opt for leather skinny jeans for special occasions, or choose a pair in stretch fabric or denim for a more casual or sporty look.
These trousers are made of flowing fabrics, whose appeal lies in the coolness and comfort of their materials and the elegance they bring to a woman's every movement. They are inspired by Eastern fashion and are perfect for the spring/summer season. Besides being models with eye-catching prints and colors, this type of trouser is fitted at the waist and ankle and stands out for being loose and having great volume along the entire leg. There are also other harem trouser designs that are cut at the knee. Leggings or tights are a type of fitted trousers associated with comfort and sports. They are also perfect for casual get-togethers or even to combine with heels that will lengthen your legs and add a touch of elegance to your look. These trousers are made of cotton and stretch fabrics so they adapt to any size or body type.
Capri trousers owe their name to the Italian island of Capri, where this garment became popular in the 1950s. They are trousers whose length reaches mid-calf or above the ankle, making them ideal for going to the beach and enjoying a stylish vacation. This garment also became very famous thanks to Jackie Kennedy, who became an inspiration to millions of women due to her elegant looks. Jeans are the typical American jeans whose style can be perfectly adapted to any occasion or silhouette. Although they have never gone out of style, it was in the 90s that they were most successful due to their simplicity and comfort, characteristic of the style that accompanied this decade. These types of trousers for women are completely straight from the waist to the ankle. They look perfect with heels, as they elongate the silhouette and add elegance. Furthermore, they were one of the first women's styles created for formal looks.Blossom Trousers
