At large, there are hundreds of pant styles for women. From differences in fabric to seams, length to fit, and season to style, there are ‘n’ number of pant types. Worry not; in this article, we have covered the most important and top five pant styles that every woman (preferably in India) must have in her wardrobe—so as to match all types of fashion.

The top five pant styles for women

Kurti pants

Most working women in Asian countries prefer choosing kurtis as their office and semi-casual wear. If you are one of them, kurta pants are a must in your wardrobe. You can call these pants by different names, like cigarette pants, straight pants, kurta pants, etc. However, the overall style remains the same straight-cut slim-fit pants with waistbands or drawstrings to adjust the hip length. Variations may occur if pocket and bottom ankle-level slits are added.

Parallel pants

When women want to wear formal shirts or Western tops, these parallel pants come into the picture. They are not slim fit, like in kurta pant styles. Instead, they have wide legs to allow for ventilation, as well as a Western-style touch. These are considered both formal and casual, as they perfectly pair with formal tops and casual tanks.

Wait! Aren’t parallel pants and palazzos one and the same? Certainly, not! Check out the differences now.

Palazzo pants

The word ‘palazzo’ means palace in Italian. Accordingly, these pants were tailored to be classy, poshy, and lavishly flared. Thus, palazzos have flares starting from the waist section to the knees and the floor. On the other hand, parallel pants are only wide-leg and not as flared as palazzo. More or less, they look closer to the legs than the palazzo.

With the right balance of color and style, these palazzo pants can be paired with anything. For example, a shirt, sweater, t-shirt, women’s kameez, etc.

Salwar pants

Though not predominant in Western or even North Asian countries, women in Southeast Asia have made these salwar pants a mandatory wardrobe staple. With wide-range kameez suits, salwar pants are paired in contrasting colors. These are nothing but pleated pants that help with great freedom of movement for the legs. Locally, they are also referred to as Punjabi or Patiala pants. The difference is only in the number of pleats on the pants.

Notably, these are not formal or semi-formal pants. Most women wear these casual pants at home.

Lounge pants

Lounge pants are purposefully designed for women to easily slip into during housework, sleep time, or relaxing evenings. These are loose-fitting pants that allow for good air circulation. Mostly, these pants are tailored in highly breathable and lightweight fabrics like cotton. There are various types of lounge pants—open type, cuffed, capri length, etc.

Special bottom wear: Shorts

Though not referred to as ‘pants,’ shorts are considered one of the most sought-after bottomwear for women. Especially in the summer season, these shorts will stand as No. 1 on the list of must-have pant styles for women.

Conclusion

Finding the right pant style for the apparel you wear on the top is crucial for women looking to create a new trend in fashion. A perfect balance and blend of the tops and bottoms decide whether or not it is nicely dressed or disheveled. So, choose the right pants style by carefully analyzing factors like apparel, color, fabric, fit, and occasion.
