It is not for nothing that the trends of various uniforms have found their place in some collections of H&M, Mango, Zara, Donna Feros. At first, the world saw spectacular riding breeches, then aviator glasses, and now stylish female pilots.
What's this?
The model belongs to the sports style, street casual, military. The excitement among the girls around the "pilots" appeared relatively recently. Since the late 90s, fashionistas have been defiling in such trousers, combining them with spacious, cozy clothes. Pants do not constrain movements and perfectly retain heat.
Fashion designers create two versions of "pilots":
- tight-fitting;
- free cut.
In the first case, they resemble traditional leggings. They can be decorated in any pattern, combined with ethnic ornaments of boho-style blouses or daring grunge and his leather jackets. Loose style pants will easily express the individuality of the one who leads an active lifestyle. They are successfully combined with sports shoes. Pants will be the best "companion" on the track, walking, while studying or gatherings in a cafe with girlfriends.
"Pilots" is a bold answer to tight skinny, synthetic leggings, tapered riding breeches. Despite their sporty cut, the pants emphasize the femininity and romance of the image, especially when combined with a fitted top.Use leather or knitted jackets, boat neck blouses, cashmere cardigan in pastel shades. Such an outfit is suitable for a student audience, a bohemian party and for lovers of retro aviator styles, pin up, art nouveau.
Who will suit?
"Pilots" will ideally fit into the wardrobes of girls with a sports figure, long legs, a taut stomach, elastic buttocks. It is best if the trousers are made of natural fabric with a small percentage of synthetic fiber. There are also models made of cotton, viscose, knitwear.

An important advantage of the "pilots" was the easy care of the product. It withstands multiple washes, does not shrink or fade.
What length should it be?
The length of the "pilots" will depend on the type of figure. For the “inverted triangle” option, a shortened model is more suitable, and for owners of short legs, it is better to look at elongated styles like leggings. Together with a high heel, they will visually straighten your posture, take a step wider, and the silhouette of the legs is sexier.
For street style, you can experiment with loose-fitting mid-calf pants with cuffs or turn-ups. Thick-heeled shoes, a steady “couple” Lita, slingbacks with a sexy ankle strap will fit in here. Remember that the main feature of the "pilots" is practicality and convenience. The shorter their length, the longer the top should be and the higher the heel.
Whatever the length of these trousers, it is good if the model has a wide elastic band with a drawstring at the waist. "Pilots" have become an essential attribute of morning jogging, fitness or yoga. Girls love them not only for their practicality, but also for their laconic appearance. If jeans, cargo or hipsters have to be decorated, then minimalistic “pilots” can do without perforation.
