Being fashionable and smart are important aspects of today’s society. This is why we have created this article, to provide you with the best tips on how to find the perfect straight trousers for you. We will discuss things such as the fabric, design and expert tips on what shape will suit your body type best.
Fabric
The material that a piece of clothing is made out of is always an important aspect when buying it. Fabrics such as wool or cotton are often more expensive but they also offer better protection in colder weather conditions, whereas linen and synthetic fabrics are cheaper but they don’t keep you warm, especially in the wintertime.
The design
There are two important aspects when it comes to the design of straight trousers:
– how it looks on you, and
– how it gets on your body.
If you choose a trouser that is made out of linen or cotton, you will want to make sure that the fabric’s weight is on the thicker side. Cotton has more weight while linen has less. We recommend going with the slightly heavier weight so that your trousers will be warm when it’s cold outside. Our article on what affects your body shape may also help in choosing a trousers design best suited to your body type.
You will also want to make sure that the trousers are the right length. The best way to do this is by using the following steps:
1. When you are standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, have someone else measure you from the top of your waistband down to your ankle.
2. Now, have them measure you again but this time have them go down until they reach where they think is where your foot would start (if you’re wearing shoes).
3. From these two measurements, subtract an inch or so for shrinkage and extra fabric for movement and layering so that you’ll be able to wear the trousers at their normal length with no problems (this will give you a few more inches in case).
When choosing a pair of straight trousers, our experts recommend that you keep in mind the material, the design and your body type. You also need to make sure that it fits you perfectly so that it doesn’t make your body look awkward or uncomfortable.
