Hi, I am Carla Leenders and I am a stylist with the Glass Slipper. Today, I am going to show you how to style your wardrobe. I am going to show you how to wear combat trousers.
There are a lot of these styles of trousers around this season, and they are very easy to wear but you have to be careful with them as they can make you look very young or they can look a bit dated if you do not get the right style. You have to be careful not to take these into sort of nineties combat style trousers where they wore them very baggy, very oversized, and you put them on with your trainers. You should definitely not be wearing these with trainers.
At the most, you want to wear these with a pair of flat Converse or just with some sparkly pumps or something like that. The best way to wear these and to stop them from looking very young is to put them with something smarter that will help to balance them out because these are quite casual. I would recommend using something like a smart shirt.
Something that is fitted as well, as these tend to be a little bit baggy on the bottom half, so you want to balance out your body shape by putting something a bit fitted and a bit smarter on the top. Wearing something like a nice smart shirt like this and you can always cinch it in at the waist with a really nice statement belt. Alternatively, you can put it on with a smart cardigan.
Again, pick something that is nice and tonal that is going to match and not make too much contrast with your combat trousers. A great cardigan like this as a really fine knit will work well because it is not going to add any chunk or any bulk to the top half of you. Layer it up just with a tee shirt underneath, and then again, put a really great accessory, for example, the belt that is going to cinch it in at the waist, or you could use something a bit more fun, like a really nice animal print scarf.
That is going to pull the whole look together and make it look just a bit more stylish, and not like something that a teenager is going to be wearing. She needs to be careful that you are not to stray into that territory. Alternatively, you could also wear it just with a really nice statement cardigan.
Something like this, teamed with a really nice pair of pants, for example, some metallic gold or silver ones make it look really stylish, and again make it stop it from looking too teenage. When you are buying your cargo combat trousers, make sure you do not go for anything that is overly baggy. Although these have got a little bit of bagginess in them around the hip and thigh area, they go in slimmer at the bottom, so it is going to help to balance out your figure, and not going to swamp you.
You have to be careful when you are wearing these sorts of trousers if you are wider on the hips and the bottom, as they can make you look a bit bigger there. So, go for something that is a little bit more tailored. And that is how you wear combat trousers. .
