Style advice for the Ebony Trousers
The Ebony jeans are the epitome of MOM JEANS – but what does that mean?
Mom jeans are jeans that are high-waisted jeans that are a little baggy and have little to no stretch. These jeans got their ‘MOM’ name thanks to all the American mums who made them famous towards the end of the 1980s, beginning of the 90s. The loose cut and high waist are what make the trousers incredibly comfortable. Sturdy fabric ensures that these jeans can handle busy living. At the same time, these trousers still manage to be fashionable. In other words, just what every stylish mum needs!
Tips & tricks for MOM JEANS combos
Mom jeans are – without much ado – a pretty basic clothing item. That makes them perfect for creating an infinite number of different looks, from casual, chic or sporty to a mix of any of these. Anything goes, for example:
- The mom jeans paired with a motorcycle jacket and short ankle boots = an edgy look.
- The mom jeans paired with an oversized t-shirt or a blouse = iconic classic, oozing with style.
- The mom jeans paired with heels or loafers give your outfit more elegance points.
- The mom jeans paired with trainers or sandals make for a casual or sportier look.
The combo tip: the Ebony trousers paired with a simple blouse, a heavy bomber jacket (hello Frida) and a pair of loafers to top it off.
The Ebony Trousers for A-types
A-types have a heavier lower body. The Ebony trousers really emphasise the waist, but the narrower, tapered trouser legs make your hips look curvier. That can have a nice effect if the width difference between your waist and hips isn't too big. Otherwise, you're better off going for a pattern with flared trouser legs, such as the Bertha.
Make the Ebony trousers in a dark colour and pair them with a top in a light or bold colour in a textured fabric or one with a print. The Ebony trousers paired with the Afra top in horizontal stripes makes for a lovely outfit.
Go for a top or blouse that has a short cut or wear the top (made in a fabric with a fluid drape) tucked into the trousers to give the waist the attention it deserves. By choosing a fabric with vertical lines, you can make your legs look longer and therefore narrower.
Pears often suffer from trouser waistlines that sit too low at the back compared to the front. Find out to solve this issue here.
The Ebony Trousers for V-types
V-types have larger shoulders. The goal is to make the shoulders look narrower and draw attention from the upper body to the lower.
The cut of the trousers, the tapered trouser legs and the patch pockets add volume to the hips.
Make the trousers in a striking colour and in a fabric that's sufficiently stiff. This will give your lower body more shape. Your top should be in a dark colour, in a fabric with a fluid drape. The Wallys blouse in a dark fabric would be a nice complement to the Ebony trousers.
A common fitting complaint is that there’s too much fabric in the seat of the trousers. Find out how to alter that here.
The Ebony Trousers for I-types
Your straight figure could do with a little more body. That makes the Ebony trousers a must-have for I-types. The tapered trouser legs add volume to your hips and make your waist look smaller. The Ebony trousers paired with the Afra top, Victoria top or the Wallys blouse is a great combo.
The Ebony Trousers for H-types
The rectangular shape of H-types could do with a little more curves. The Ebony’s tapered trouser legs do a lovely job of that. Why? The trousers add volume to the hips. A straight leg also looks good on wide rectangles. You can achieve that look by making the hem of the trouser legs a little wider.
The high waist makes the upper body appear shorter, which doesn’t work well for wide rectangles. You can fix that by wearing your top over the trousers and going for a V-neck. That will visually lengthen your upper body.
Break up the rectangular shape by creating a break at the waist. You can do that by playing with colours, e.g. pairing dark trousers with a light top.
A common complaint about the fit for wide rectangle shapes is that there is too much fabric in the seat. Find out how to alter that here.
The Ebony Trousers for X-types
Your body is naturally well-proportioned. Your shoulders and hips are more or less the same width and you have a clear waistline. The Ebony trousers ensure that all eyes go towards the waist. They do a fantastic job following the natural curves of your body, which makes the Ebony a win-win.
The Ebony Trousers for O-types
The focus of the Ebony trousers is all on the waist, which is exactly what O-types want to avoid. If you still want to make the Ebony trousers, pair the trousers with the right tops. The Afra top is a nice choice for apples, for example when paired with the Kai blazer or Martha coat in a dazzling colour. Wear the top over the trousers and wear the coat open.
Try to create as much length as possible by avoiding contrasts between the top and the trousers. For that reason, it’s important to go for colours that are sufficiently similar.
A common fitting complaint for those with rounder stomachs is that the trousers may sit too low or tight at the front, while they sit just fine at the back. That means the fabric isn’t wide or long enough at the front. Find out how to alter this here.
The Ebony Trousers for 8-types
The Ebony trousers’ high waist is perfect for your figure. It accentuates the waist, making you look longer and more svelte. Even better, the cut of the trousers isn't too tight, which ensure that your silhouette stays nicely balanced.
If you have a rounder seat, then you might feel like the trousers aren’t high enough at the back. Lengthen the crotch length of the back to take care of this problem. Find out how to alter that here.
It’s also possible that the hourglass might feel like the trousers overall aren’t high enough at the waist. That means the rise will also need to be altered for both front and back. Have a look at how to do that here.
