A pair of cigarette pants is a must-have in your wardrobe this summer. Designers such as Namrata Joshipura and Ranna Gill showcased these pants in their spring-summer collection. After bell bottoms and flared pants, this seemed like an obvious change. “We’ve been wearing bell bottoms for so long now that we needed a transformation,” says designer Siddharth Tytler. “Moreover, everyone is becoming health-conscious and losing weight these days. So wearing a pair of cigarette pants is the perfect way to show off that slim figure,” he adds. “Cigarette pants are very versatile and can be worn to work, a lazy lunch or a fancy dinner. You just need to change your top and shoes as per the occasion,” says designer Nikasha Tawadey. A pair of ballet pumps with a cute top is perfect for a lunch and in the evening they can be paired with a pair of stilettos or wedge heels with a dressy top.Bigger people can wear darker colours such as black or dark brown for a slimming effect. “It also depends on one’s attitude. If you can carry off a pair of these slim pants, you should go for it,” he adds.
