Good day, friends! I hope this finds you well! I am currently having another one of my sick spells in the middle of the night, so I’ve decided to make use of this time and write to you about paper bag pants! Lol.
The paper bag pant trend has been around now for a bit, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. But, I don’t foresee it going anywhere anytime soon! Lucky for us, these pants are not only very comfortable, but they can also be very flattering! As with all high-waisted pants, they hit at the smallest point of your waist, drawing your eye in to that point and accentuating your curves.
You might be wondering, “why the hell are they called paper bag pants?” Valid question. Well, they are called paper bag pants because the top of the waistline resembles a paper bag when you cinch it in and tie a sash around it, just like you do with the pants. Most paper bag pants do have sashes or belts around the waist, which makes you look all the more pulled together.
The trick to styling these pants is to make sure that the top half of your outfit is not as baggy as the bottom half. We want to create balance and not be too heavy or voluminous all over. So, you might try a fitted knit top or sweater, a cropped top, or a blouse or simple button down but ALWAYS tucked in!
These paper bag pants are by TOPSHOP. They’re a nice neutral color, so you can wear them with all sorts of things. They are really soft and comfortable. The nice thing about them is that you can wear them with flats or sneakers or dress them up with heels for work or a nice dinner out! I topped mine off with a cropped, fitted, turtleneck from Free People and some suede stiletto heels for more of a professional/night out look.
You can find paper bag pants at pretty much any retailer these days, but I have linked these ones (which come in regular and petite! And, I think I forgot to get them in petite which is why they are longer on me than the model, ugh…) and some other of my favorites for you as well! There are lots of different lengths and styles, so be be creative and have fun with it! Just always remember to keep it smaller on top! What do you guys think of the paper bag pant trend? Love it, hate it? I’d love to know 🙂
