On the Spring 2016 catwalks, paperbag waists made a splash with their slouchy, scrunched silhouettes and comfy fit. If you\u2019re looking for a wearable yet cozy look for the warmer months of the year, here are a few winning ways to adopt the paperbag trend now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Casual Chic <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For an effortless May afternoon, try swapping your pencil skirts and tights for a pair of pajama inspired trousers adorned with light blue and black stripes (as spotted at Public School). The look of silky fabric and preppy stripes, combined with a scrunched waistline, will help to polish off your Saturday style. Combine your loose-fitting pants with a silky black blouse, lightweight dark blazer and flat sandals, in order to truly stun this spring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The relatively modest silhouettes of paperbag-waisted trousers make this an easy trend to sport at the office. This season, take your sartorial inspiration from the Tod\u2019s runway and step out in a chic black and white ensemble for a day on the job. The perfect pair of cropped paperbag-waisted pants with thin black and white vertical stripes can easily elongate the leg line. Meanwhile, a waist-cinching leather belt, black and white striped blouse and leather moccasins will complete your style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the evening hours, combine your flowing, free-spirited bottoms with a sultry top in order to showcase your curves (as spotted at Tome). Style your neutral, voluminous trousers with a ruffled halter top for a contrasting sultry silhouette. Meanwhile, dangling, shoulder-dusting earrings wrap up the seductive sartorial statement and lend an air of mystery to your entire look.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Style.com\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the Spring 2016 catwalks, paperbag waists made a splash with their slouchy, scrunched silhouettes and comfy fit.
