These waist-cinched pants come in wide-leg, tailored and even cropped versions. And I’m loving the color options, too!

Spring is here, friends! And one of the easiest, most fool-proof ways to pull off the paper bag waist pants trend is to style them with a tucked-in cami or bodysuit and a great paper of heels.
These wide-leg striped pants are from ASOS and the vertical lines elongate the legs, making you appear taller! That’s especially great with pants like these, which can be a bit difficult to pull off. Plus, they’re on sale right now for $30!
If you work in an office, paper bag waist pants are such a fun look. They’re conservative enough to be workday approved and comfortable, too! You can pair them with a closed-toe heel and modest blouse like Cat from Classical Trendsetter did for a trendy look.
This look spotted on Love Between the Racks is perfect for a hot summer day! Since paper bag pants tend to be high-waisted, you could absolutely pull them off with a crop top.
You could also style this look with flat sandals or even espadrilles.
