Gaucho pants are calf-length women's slacks that flare into a wide hem. They were originally worn in both Spain and South America as riding habits. While gaucho pants were quite popular in late 1960s women's fashion, they have recently seen a rise of unprecedented popularity in the mid 2000s. Part of the reason for their popularity is the versatility and flattering cut of gauchos. Gaucho pants can be modified to fit nearly any situation or event. Check out the tips below to learn what to wear with your gauchos for either formal wear or casual flare.
Formal Events: If your gaucho pants are made from a thick, elegant material, such as tweed or wool, they can easily be dressed up for work or a night on the town. Try pairing your gauchos with a silk or chiffon camisole for a sexy, stylish look. You can easily add a matching blazer for corporate situations. Finish the outfit with a pair of round toe or slingback heels.
Casual Wear: Gaucho pants made from light, casual fabrics like cotton, jersey, or denim are perfect for informal situations. You can wear a simple tank top or v-neck t-shirt with your gauchos for a stylishly laid-back appearance. In the summer, a simple pair of flip-flops looks great with gauchos and keeps you cool and comfortable.
With the right fabric and accompanying items, a pair of gaucho pants can lend you stylish elegance in any situation.
