Up until now, in my mind, straight leg pants = tapered leg pants. Being someone who went to high school during the “tight rolled” pant era, I just couldn’t go there.
{I fully realize this time next year if tapered pants are on trend, I could be eating my words as I tend to fall in love with the latest fashion obsession. But I digress…}
For the last 15 years or so I’ve strictly worn flare or boot cut pants because I thought they flattered me the most. And while they still do, I’ve discovered what amazing things a straight leg pant can do for my legs.
Say it with me: ELONGATE
If you’re 5’5″ and under like me, you know there are things that work for you and things that don’t. Well if you haven’t tried straight leg pants, do yourself a favor and get some.
Here are two I just added to my wardrobe from Express {using a coupon of course!}:
