Simply Waisted: Cozy & Chic Paperbag-Waist Pants
Tailored trousers look oh-so chic, but with stiffer suiting fabrics and fitted no-give waistbands, they can often leave something to be desired in the way of comfort. Enter: the paperbag-waist pant.
While it may not sound super stylish, don’t let the name deceive you. These easygoing pairs feature a flattering high rise and an adjustable tie belt to customize the fit around your midsection. The silhouettes are often jodhpur, wide leg, or flared, so be sure to balance any volume with a fitted blouse or tank up top. From a slouchy buckled pair by Isabel Marant, to an office-ready houndstooth version by BCBGMAXAZRIA, there’s a waist-cinching option for any style. Want to rock the style all summer long? Opt for a pair of paperbag-waist shorts in denim, lightweight faux leather, or even a bold floral print as seen at 10 Crosby Derek Lam.
