The Paper-Bag Waist

When I first saw the paper bag pants, I didn't like them at all...until I tried on the zimmerman paper bag shorts sand skirt, and i fell in :heart:

the skirt here looks great, too. but I'm considering investing on the shorts....
 
Meeeeeeeee too.
I FINALLY got the Topshop ones now I just need to get them shortened so I can wear them lol.
 
I don't like it, some of them look like skirts fran fine would wear.
 
I saw a sales girl in Selfridges when I was in London in October wearing some paperbag waist tweed trouses, she looked great in them.
 
I'm 5'10" so imagine how excited I was when I found the perfect pair of dove grey, wide leg pants with a paper bag waist that are long enough for me!

They're lovely! And were on sale too!

Sorry guys the image wouldn't show so you have to cut and paste if you can be bothered. Basically a purple paper-bag waist, looked kinda pradaesque to me..
 
has anyone spotted paper-bag waist pants on celebrities recently?? :)
 
no- sorry...

essentially this is a trend that never took off imo...
looks awful on most people, so i'm not surprised...
and i'm actually really glad i don't have to see people trying to do this and looking terrible all the time...

:lol:...
 
^^^Don't be sorry. A horrible, horrible look on anyone.

This was somewhat popular in the 80s-- if only for a moment, wasn't it? Understandably, even the most desperate trendchasers didn't take to it. Makes everyone look silly-- like a clown. Even a slender waist would look huge because of the ballooning effect.
 
OH, I'd say it looks fine on slender people with a casual look.
