Tuck in Your Shirt When Wearing Wide-Leg Pants
In the past, when wearing wide-leg pants, many people often paired them with short tops, sometimes revealing a bit of their waist to create a balanced body proportion and add a touch of allure. However, this spring and summer, Japanese girls are favoring a new trend – tucking their shirts into their pants. This styling trick not only helps cover the midriff but also accentuates the waist, creates the illusion of longer legs, and achieves a slimming effect comparable to that of a short top.

Tucking your shirt into your wide-leg pants accentuates the waist, creates the illusion of longer legs, and gives an overall sleeker look.
Half-Tuck
For tops that are not suitable to be fully tucked into the pants, Japanese women opt for a half-tuck. As you can see in the photo below, there is a noticeable difference between half-tucking and not tucking at all. When you tuck in the front hem of your top, the overall look becomes neater and more elegant. On the other hand, pairing wide-leg pants with an untucked, ill-fitting top can make the outfit look unbalanced and less flattering to the waist. Additionally, leaving the top untucked without proper adjustments may elongate the torso, disrupting the harmony and slimming effect of the entire ensemble.
The difference between half-tucking and not tucking your top is evident, as tucking helps create a more flattering silhouette.
For tops like thick sweaters or sheer blouses, try a half-tuck at the front to define your waist and create a balanced body proportion.
Monochromatic Ensemble
If you want to add depth to your outfit, experiment with classic solid colors like dark green or black – shades that instantly elevate the whole look with sophistication and trendiness. However, if you’re concerned that wearing a single color from head to toe might make your appearance monotonous or less striking, you can mix different fabrics to create an impressive layered effect. Combining silk, cotton, linen, or a blazer will make your outfit more captivating and full of intriguing details.
To stay fresh and fashionable this summer, opt for an all-white ensemble. Pairing wide-leg pants with a white top looks clean and youthful.
Wearing a set of matching colors but different fabrics can instantly create a slimming effect.
Cuffed Hem
For petite women, wide-leg pants can sometimes appear too long and less streamlined. Instead of cutting them short, try cuffing the hems to add a unique and fashionable twist. When you know how to adjust the proportions skillfully, you need not worry about wide-leg pants making your figure look heavy or unbalanced.
Cuffing the hems of your wide-leg pants creates a stylish accent while making your legs look longer and sleeker.
