They first appeared in the early 80s as an element of the style of hip-hop and R’n’B music artists immediately gained popularity among American youth. Externally, authentic buggies resembled sweatpants with an elastic band with a waist line so low that sometimes underwear looked out from under them.

Baggy pants: what what to wear?

Before considering the most successful combinations, it is necessary to determine who suits the buggy pants.

These pants are perfect for  "inverted triangle" figure. In this case, the emphasis will be placed on the hips, and the cut narrowed to the ankles will balance the figure. For the same reasons, buggy pants are worth buying for ladies with a “rectangle” silhouette. But the owners of the "apple" figure or "pear" this style is categorically not recommended, because the cut of the buggy will visually increase the volume in the lower part of the figure, make the hips heavier and focuses on the problematic waist. As for the "hourglass" figures, in this case the buggy will additionally emphasize the narrowness of the waist and the splendor of the hips, but then it will be "lost" shoulder line. Therefore, ladies with the indicated silhouette can only wear buggy pants in a carefully designed look.

As for the combination of buggies in different sets of outfits, a tight-fitting top is the most suitable for this type of pants: turtlenecks, thin sweaters, tank tops, shirts and sleeveless tops tucked into the belt. Jackets, cardigans, sweaters, denim jackets and leather jackets are perfect for them. Shoes for this outfit are suitable only for those that match the general style of the image: sneakers or slip-ons, high-heeled shoes and sandals, sandals or slates.< /p>
