Admittedly, with the multitude of different types of pants that come onto the market every year, it’s easy to get confused. Typical for barrel jeans is the loose and therefore flattering cut: a little narrower around the waist, a little wider on the thighs and a little tighter towards the ankle – these features characterize the cylinder-like “barrel” trousers. And the best thing about it is that the voluminous cut flatters every figure as it automatically makes the upper body appear slimmer. Aside from that, the Barrel Jeans are more than comfortable and offer maximum freedom of movement. But how exactly do you actually combine the it-piece?
As already mentioned at the beginning, the barrel jeans have a lot of volume – without making the legs look thicker. To make your upper body appear slimmer, a styling tip is to use tight-fitting shirts, blouses and tops. They automatically ensure the perfect balance. However, it is important to ensure that the items of clothing end above the waist. If you want to wear something longer over the barrel jeans (for example a cardigan, blazer or shirt), you should wear the garment open so that the upper body can stand out from the lower body.

To complete the look, all you need is the right footwear to go with the barrel jeans. The nice thing about bow-legged trousers is that they can be used in a variety of ways: If you prefer something sporty, narrow-cut sneakers, flat strappy sandals or ballerinas are the best choice in summer. The style becomes sexy with high wedge heels or high heels and a blazer, it becomes edgy in combination with chunky loafers, while ankle boots create a casual look – they emphasize the ankles. However, make sure that the hem disappears into the shaft of the shoes. This is the only way to maintain the O-silhouette of the barrel jeans.
