After many seasons of on-trend and fashion forward wide, flared, roomy, relaxed, baggy, slouchy and voluminous bottoms silhouettes, a slim bottoms trend is on the horizon. Slim straight jeans and cigarette pants are making a gentle comeback. It’s not a big comeback, but they’re making a fashionable statement nonetheless. BIG bottoms will continue to reign supreme, but you’ll see slim silhouettes come through in small doses too.

Arguably, slim straight pants and jeans are the forever modern classic standard. Their rises, fabrics, colours and lengths vary with the trends, but they never disappear from fashion completely. The streamlined silhouette is generally easy to wear and style, hence its longevity and popularity. Every so often slim straights are the trendiest silhouette of them all, and sometimes they enjoy a small fashion moment like now.

It’s great that slim silhouettes are becoming more available for those who enjoy them. Variety in silhouette is a good thing.

Personally, I love the wide, flared, voluminous, and big bottoms trend. I’ve been sporting it for years, enjoying the movement, swoosh and elegance of the silhouettes. That said, I didn’t stop wearing slim straight silhouettes. I have several old pairs of cigarette pants, and three pairs of slim jeans that I continue to wear with pleasure too. When I’m in a wide pants mood, I wear roomy bottoms. When I’m in a streamlined mood, I wear slim straights. I like the variety! Here is my current collection of slim bottoms. The oldest pairs are ten years old.

Over to you. How do you feel about slim and straight pants and jeans?
