What are they, you might ask? Remember Christina Aguilera’s low-waisted jeans? Or even Drew Barrymore’s’ “Charlies’ Angels” style?  If you do, then you’ve definitely lived the 90’s to the fullest! Starting out simply as a mere staple item in a girl’s repertoire, low slung pants have risen back to ultimate power, taking over several designer’s runways, from Calvin Klein to Michael Kors.

These trousers have got to be the most underrated pieces of garments ever. While the reason is still ambiguous as to their far-fetched waive, fashion enthusiasts are still trying to gauge whether their success would be further intensified. And the answer is as positive as it could ever be. Indeed, low slung trousers are now ubiquitous, much to our pleasure!

So as waistlines have dropped, we’ve decided to give you the irreverent do’s and don’ts of our favorite trend this season!

Do pick wide-legged and well-tailored trousers with a button down shirt for a day at the office! Effortlessly chic indeed!

Don’t buy a pair of tight low-rise pants, as to avoid bulges and what not.

Do opt for a slightly skin-bearing top with your low-rise trousers for a savvy night out.

Do go for different fabrics, from silk to cotton!

Do pair your low slung trousers with classy pumps and a well-cut blazer. Because who doesn’t appreciate a clean-cut silhouette?

Don’t pair your trousers with a cropped top. They’re already very low-rise as it is, you don’t need to add another layer of “crop” to them!
