For a long time skinny pants were the undisputed number one. It’s different this season. The designers show more and more wide pants again and everyone is crazy about the swinging leg dress. Whether as Culottes (calf-length pants skirt), Palazzo- or Marlene-Dietrich-style pants, we love the elegant designs that quickly boost a simple outfit to an eye catcher look.

Sign of emancipation

Wide pants date back on famous film diva Marlene Dietrich, who created the new style:  also known as Marlene-Dietrich-style pants. Like no one else – with her unmistakable androgynous style – she set a fashionable symbol of emancipation. In the 1930s, when she fumbled for international successes, she caused excitement with her preference for male-looking trouser suits – until then the wide-cut trousers were reserved for the „lords of creation“. This changed with the clothing habits of Marlene Dietrich and until today we love the mostly waisted trousers with wide leg due to her style and extravagance.

Closely related to the trouser revolution of those days is the so-called Palazzo pants, which often show ultra-wide legs, but is based on the Marlene-Dietrich-style. The main difference is the missing crease.

This article focuses on the classic trousers: the Marlene-Dietrich-style pants. It has not only become the absolute basic, but is also on the trend radar of all fashionable ladies of all ages!

Pants with character

The emblematic garment – with which the entire Instagram world is currently eyeing – has a given elegance. It does not take much to turn your outfit into an eyecatcher.

The idea of ​​combinations in the maritime style is a classic version, but also cheeky styles convince totally. Of course, with the elegant leg dress you go perfectly through your day. Another advantage is, that this cut suits almost all women. A round butt and strong legs have great space in the wide form and the stretching crease makes thighs and calves disappear virtually. To conceal a “tummy”, the trousers should be made of slightly stronger material and preferably black or dark blue. Small women can stretch the silhouette optically with floor-length pants. So pay attention to the length when buying! (rather too long than too short)

>The right shoe<

The perfect complement is still high-heeled shoes that make endless legs. Looking at the streetstyled Fahionistas, you can see, that many girls also choose flat shoes such as sandals or sneakers, which make the Marlene-Dietrich-style pants ready for a casual wearing. Nothing lazier than a cool sneaker under floor-length pants. But who can wear the look? Flat shoes to the wide Marlene-Dietrich-style pants are actually rather something for taller women with long legs. Small women wearing wide pants which cover the shoes mostly, visually appear a bit crowded.

>On TOP<

The Marlene-Dietrich-style pants conjure up a great feminine silhouette, as the narrowest point lies at the height of the waist and emphasizes this as best as possible. Therefore you should choose narrower tops that do not counteract this effect. Tight turtleneck shirts and roll-necked sweater fit perfectly. In case you like to wear a wide blouse or a wide top, you should either put it completely in the pants or at least the front tip (tuck it into your pants).
