Are you bored of the same old denim? Then it’s time to move them over and say hello to the paper-bag pants trend! Although it may seem a bit harder to style them compared to the versatile skinny jeans, there are loads of reasons why you should wear this style of trousers. They accentuate your waist and give your legs a long, slender appearance. Who doesn’t want that, right?

Here are 6 paper-bag pants outfit ideas that will make you give them a second glance…

Look 1

Unlike traditional paperbag trousers, these olive green pants from Kraus have a fitted silhouette with the iconic waistband that makes these pants so popular. The broad pleated waist has a fabric tie-up belt in place. Team it with the fluorescent green round neck sweatshirt from Ginger detailed with cute Mickey and Minnie Mouse prints. Ginger’s white lace-up shoes with green and gold highlights will complete this monochrome look.

Another popular way to wear the paperbag style is culottes like in this casual-chic outfit. Code’s pink culottes with pleats cinched at the waist have a feminine touch with the floral motifs. Tuck in the maroon textured sleeveless top into these trousers to complement this colour palette. The simple white open toe heel sandals for an elegant look.

For a muted look, you can opt for a white top and a pair of trousers. Bossini’s round neck top with silver embellishments can be worn with the woven trousers from Bossini, designed with subtle embroidery. Adding a statement piece like this black biker jacket with silver accents will transform this outfit. Pair it with the black embellished ballerinas from Melange by Lifestyle or slip into a pair of stiletto heels.

For party outfits with paperbag trousers, this one is definitely a winner! The showstopper here is the gold crop top from Ginger with a sequin embellishment finish.

And the textured ankle-strap heels in glittering gold from Ginger will make it party-ready!
