Bag It

The paper-bag waist is not just for Amazonian supermodels; it's actually incredibly flattering, especially when it involves WiNK's Devon pant. Usually, we see this kind of waistline in skirts, so it's unexpectedly fresh in trouser form. We love this crepe de chine fabric pant because it's so soft, yet sophisticated. There's a structured casualness to them. Think the comfort of sweatpants with the low-key glamour of Katharine Hepburn, and you're on your way.

Who looks best in this style? This style flatters a long torso, creating the appearance of curves. So if you're a long tall Sally, this is the pant for you. (If you're not that tall dial up the high heels!) The key to making this sexy, not schlubby, is choosing the right top. Be city chic with a simple black tank and statement-making jewelry, or soften the look by tucking in a short-sleeved blouse. See? The paper-bag waist is your friend.
