When there is a cocktail party or a black-tie event to attend, the first outfit idea that comes to our mind is a cocktail dress or a gown, we may even venture down the desi route and ponder over the idea of wearing a saree. Statement pants, however, are always a no-go, simply because they are deemed too casual.
Fashion in 2020 is all about breaking the rules, stereotypes and norms, pants that are said to be reserved for the board rooms only, are now being taken to red carpet events and parties. In no mood to shave your legs, to wear that mini skirt? Well, if styled right, pants can look just as sexy and stylish. Wide-leg pants have magical leg-lengthening capabilities and an all-around dreamy, swishy feel, much like a maxi dress or a gown.
Let these celebrities lead the way, and show you how can you too can party in pants!
