What are Paperbag-Waist Pants?

Paperbag-waist pants are high-waisted pants and when gathered at the waist have some fabric coming out at the top above the cinched area, somewhat like a tied paper bag. This style offers a new feminine and comfortable option for pant lovers. However, this style draws attention to your waist area and is tricky to wear if you are thick in the middle.

This style of pant is loose and baggy but there are streamlined styles that can be worn to work. Paperbag-waist pants can have a flattering elongated effect on legs. They look best with basic T’s or fitted or crop tops that are made for high-waist pants. To be in good taste avoid tops that are too revealing (if wearing to work). You want to show off the paper-bag-waist style. This new waistline can be styled with a thin belt, rope or colorful scarf giving you a lot of options.

Longer jackets are very chic with paper-bag-waist pants. Style skinny high-waist pants and jeans with flats while looser flared styles are better matched with wedges and heels. Avoid over-accessorizing.

Paperbag-waist pants are found on skirts and shorts but are most flattering on cropped or ankle pants.
