What To Wear With Denim Trousers

If you are tired of skinny jeans, this season get into trouser jeans instead. These jeans feature a wide leg, fit well through the rear and offer a tailored look, similar to trousers. You often find trouser jeans in a dark wash -- making them more suitable for the office. Follow these style tips to rock trouser jeans this season.

Best trouser jeans for your body type

Before buying trouser jeans, consider your body type to find the best pair for you.

Sweet and petite - Short gals can still wear wide leg trouser jeans. Look for these jeans with a low-rise and partner them with heels to make your legs look long and sexy.

Tall and slim - Try a high-waisted pair of trouser jeans with a pair of ballet flats or wedge heels that aren't too high. Wear your jeans with a cropped jacket or sweater to show off their style.

Curvy figures - Hourglass and plus-size figures don't have to avoid trouser jeans. Just choose a pair that sits at your natural waistline -- not too high or too low. Look for flat front jeans rather than those with any pleats.

Trouser jeans For work

A dark wash pair of trouser jeans looks great when teamed up with a ruffled blouse and high heels. This look will take you from the office to Happy Hour without missing a beat.
