We often say that fashion is a circle and a cycle. At some point, the flared pants that were popular in the 80s and 90s have started to make a comeback in the fashion world.
Flared pants were a very popular retro element in that era. Whether you were a celebrity or an ordinary person, you couldn’t live without them. Even though they faded into the background for a while, it doesn’t mean they have exited the stage of history.
Nowadays, they have joined forces with cropped tops, and this combination has been favored by many girls. Everyone is trying this style at the intersection of spring and summer. For those who want to learn more about this style, keep reading.
What are the disadvantages of shorts?
1.Easy to expose body flaws
Although shorts have a high appearance rate in spring and summer, one of the disadvantages of wearing shorts is that they easily expose body flaws. They are not friendly to people with unattractive leg shapes, unsmooth leg lines, wide hips, and sturdy calves.
Wearing shorts may highlight these issues, thus affecting the overall matching effect. Therefore, friends who feel unconfident about their figure should wear shorts less often.
When choosing outfits, you can consider your body shape characteristics and choose suitable pant styles to better showcase your advantages and reduce the potential negative impact of wearing shorts.
2.High risk of tanning
As we all know, as the weather gradually gets hotter, the sun’s ultraviolet rays will become more and more intense. At this time, we need to face a problem, which is that we are very prone to tanning.
Especially for those who love wearing shorts but don’t like taking sun protection measures, the degree of tanning may be a little deeper than others. Of course, if you don’t tan easily, then ignore what I just said.
How to match this style well
1.Choose suitable cropped tops
tarting from the style and color of the flared pants, choose cropped tops that match them. Usually, you can choose slim-fit, short tops to highlight the high-waisted design and waistline of the flared pants, creating an overall sense of proportion.
If the flared pants are black, you can choose colors that contrast with the top. For example, white, blue, yellow, etc. Try not to choose black, as it appears monotonous without color variation.
In addition, the style of the top can be selected according to the condition of the upper body. For example, if you have a short neck, you can choose V-neck or square-neck tops to elongate the neckline.
If you have arm fat, you can choose puff-sleeved cropped tops to help cover the flesh. If you want to wear a camisole but feel uncomfortable, you can pair it with a thin jacket.
2.Try to choose high-waisted flared pants
For the choice of flared pants style, high-waisted flared pants should be the first choice for most girls. Whether it’s flared pants, straight pants, or other styles, the high-waisted design can add many advantages to the outfit.
We can observe the flared pants chosen by the two girls above and find that low-waisted flared pants appear relatively sloppy and are more difficult to pull off for girls with wide hips and large thighs.
In contrast, high-waisted flared pants can help us avoid these problems. They can raise our waistline, making it look clean and sharp without a sloppy feeling.
Outfit ideas for “cropped top + flared pants”
1.Matching ideas for black flared pants
The most common match for black flared pants is a white T-shirt, as black and white is the least error-prone combination. However, the style is relatively simple. To wear a white T-shirt with texture, you can try pairing it with a black vest.
Not only can it cover the belly, but it can also create a sense of layering and break the simplicity. Alternatively, you can use a monochromatic match and choose a black and white striped cropped top.
Compared to a simple white T-shirt, it can successfully break the monotony. For friends who like a gentle style, try pairing it with a knitted top. The black edges echo the color of the flared pants, and the colorful buttons are interesting without being monotonous.
2.Matching ideas for denim flared pants
There are also many combinations of denim flared pants and cropped tops. If you want to create a light French style, you can choose a V-neck chiffon shirt with a waist-cinching effect.
Denim flared pants also go well with white cropped tops. To avoid monotony, you can try choosing cropped tops with pleated designs and a tightening effect at the waist, which also look great.
For shoes, try pairing them with high-heeled sandals, single shoes, or Mary Janes. Try to wear sneakers less often, as they appear relatively monotonous and uninteresting.
The combination of cropped tops and flared pants actually showcases a styling technique we often use in the fashion world: short on top and long on the bottom. Not only does it make you look slimmer and taller, but it’s also very casual and relaxed. Give it a try!
