Which pants suit me? Reviews and advice of fashionistas

Trousers for women were originally borrowed in the men's wardrobe - this happened in the 30s of the twentieth century, when women's trousers began to be sewn the same as men's in terms of cut and fabric. But this then-new-fangled detail in the women's wardrobe so pleased the fair sex that soon new types of trousers appeared, which already had a purely feminine chic.

At present, free fashion fluctuations bring to the “surface” one or another type of women's trousers, and each woman can choose for herself those trousers that fit her figure best of all, correspond to her style and the spirit of modern life.
