How to Wear a Trouser Skirt

How to Wear a Trouser Skirt



A trouser skirt is a trendy yet versatile and classic piece that every woman should have in her closet. A trouser skirt is feminine and business-like at the same time. Wearing one demands respect and to be taken seriously, and it is probably most appropriate for the office.









Step
1



Make sure it is a good fit. A trouser skirt is usually straight, but may be A-line as well. There is a waistband, and sometimes pockets resembling the fit of trousers. Make sure the skirt is well-fitting in the hips, and not too tight. The waistband should fit well at the natural waistline. Most hit right at knee-level.




Step
2



Wear a trouser skirt with a

blouse


or oxford. This can be worn alone, or under another garment like a jacket or cardigan. Wearing the blouse tucked in gives you a more polished, professional and mature look. Wearing the shirt untucked looks more casual and youthful.




Step
3



Pair the trouser skirt with a blazer or jacket. Many come with coordinating pieces as a full suit. This is the most professional way to wear a trouser skirt. You may also wear a contrasting colored jacket. Wear a blouse, shell or camisole underneath.




Step
4



Wear a

sweater


or sweater set with the trouser skirt. This is the best way to feminize the outfit. The sweater should be lightweight and well fit, not big and bulky. A cashmere sweater would be an excellent choice.




Step
5



Choose the right shoes for a trouser skirt. The best bet is a pair of pumps. Boots and sandals do not look right with the skirt.
