One of the most flattering pant, cropped or full length is the sailor pant. They flatten out the tummy and are versatile no matter the season. Generally sailor pants have two rows of buttons and a wide leg. This trend was at it’s height when it originally came out in the 60 and 70’s. From then till today, sailor pants have always hung around. While one might designate this trend to the nautical vibe of summer, sailor pants can be easily styled for fall. Fabrics such as chambray/denim and wool are great options for dressing these pants up for fall.
The first step to stying a sailor pant for fall is finding the right style for your body. If you are apple shaped or hour glass shaped these pants will balance your figure. If you are pear shaped typically a slimmer leg will go a long way in making these pants work for your body. Ruler shaped gals, these pants were made for you! For most body types, a straight or slightly flared leg will be the most flattering.
I like to keep my tops simple when styling sailor pants. This cozy short sleeve sweater is just the understated item that allows the pant to shine. Typically tucked in tops or cropped tops look best with this trend. After all, you have to show off the buttons! As the weather cools down a tissue turtleneck is another fabulous option! Feminine blouses with a bow or closed neckline offer classic vintage vibes. Jackets such as a bomber jacket, cropped moto or denim jackets are other top options that transition the sailor pant into fall.
The options are endless when it comes to shoes. I love a good boot/bootie with the full length pant. Mules, sandals, a classic pump or flats are great options for the cropped leg version. This Pinterest board has great style options for any season. What are your thoughts on styling sailor pants for fall? I love the fresh look that sailor pants provide instead of all the skinny jeans we typically see!
