How Do You Match Clothes With Pants For Women?
Planning an outfit around pants is a simple task if you know which style of bottoms and the occasion you are dressing for.
Casual looks look effortlessly chic with an oversized tee shirt or sweater tucked in at the front. These tops match whatever bottom you wear if you style them right.
Tuck your top in front and pair it with sandals or platform combat boots to look stylish and up-to-date. Wear small, chunky hoops, and you are all set!
For a formal occasion, pair your jeans with a silk blouse or wear trousers in finer fabrics, such as cotton, linen, wool, or silk! Such trousers help achieve the formal look effortlessly and narrow your options for tops towards button-downs or fine blouses.
