Welcome back - Marlene trousers for women as an IT-piece for summer

It's back and more popular than ever: Marlene Trousers.

Trousers that shaped the fashion world...

During World War I, women were forbidden to wear trousers. What is unimaginable for us today was (unfortunately) a reality back then. Therefore, a big thank you to Marlene Dietrich – the namesake and style icon of the 1930s – who invented the "Marlene Dietrich trousers." Thanks to her, women's self-confidence changed, leading to a rethinking of female clothing. Marlene trousers thus stand for the independence and freedom of women. The classic model of these fabric trousers has a rather masculine cut and a high waist. The wide trousers are therefore strongly based on men's trousers but have since been reinterpreted by designers and fashion lovers. That's why you'll now find many different models, all of which fall under the broad term "Marlene Trousers."

Bell-bottoms for women? Of course!

Summer is just around the corner, and you're looking for a great alternative to a maxi dress or long skirt? Then Marlene trousers for women made from light fabrics are just the thing for you. Wide fabric trousers for summer are ideal for covering pale legs or for staying cool in the office or everyday life without showing too much leg. At first, these bell-bottoms for women always seem rather off-putting, as the wide cut is rather unusual. But recent fashion seasons have shown that the trend for women's trousers is increasingly moving towards Marlene trousers, palazzo trousers, and other wide fabric trousers. So: summer will be airy!

How to style: Wide fabric trousers for summer

In this blog post, I want to show you how you can perfectly style these pull-on trousers for everyday wear. That's why I've picked out different occasions and put together great outfits for you. The advantage of our palazzo trousers is the cut. It's wide, and thanks to the elastic waistband, there's a lot of room at the waist, making the fabric trousers even more comfortable. In addition, all our Marlene trousers are made of 100% viscose, the perfect fabric for summer. It's light on the skin, airy, and cooling – what more could a woman want? What I find particularly advantageous is that these trousers can be worn by both shorter and taller women. If you're a bit shorter, you can wear them perfectly as high-waisted trousers. If you're a bit taller, wear them on your hips. Both options look great!

Look 1: Be the eye-catcher with the pull-on trousers on your next shopping trip with your best friend

What colors! You really can't help but stare. As you can see, our palazzo trousers "Leona" have a super play of colors with yellow, pink, orange, red, and blue. These great summer colors not only look great but also give you a lot of freedom when combining them with other colors. Whether you prefer it simpler with a white top or you like bright colors and opt for a colorful top – like the red-orange sweater "Alena" I'm wearing here in the picture – the trousers will look great on you! For those of us who love colors, a cool bag can also be perfectly combined. I think the leather bag "Klara" in a soft yellow tone goes perfectly with the fabric trousers, as it perfectly picks up the tone in the pull-on trousers!

Look 2: Enjoy the day on your balcony with light summer trousers

Corona has shown us: being at home has its advantages. Since the prospects of traveling abroad are rather slim this year, it's all the better that the weather forecasts for Germany this summer are very promising. So how about a look for home? Because the palazzo trousers "Leona" can also be perfectly worn as relaxed trousers at home. Their comfortable cut and pleasant material literally invite you to relax. The fabric trousers "Leona" are also available – not hard to tell – in various shades of blue, combined with black, yellow, and red. So, if the other variant was too bright for you and you're more of a fan of darker tones, you shouldn't hesitate and take a closer look at these pull-on trousers. As you may have already noticed, I've also combined the "Alena" sweater with these – this time in yellow. So you see – two identical pieces in two different colors, and you have a completely different look!

Look 3: Beach trousers for hot days

Long pants don't immediately sound like summer. But thanks to the wide cut, you're guaranteed not to sweat even on hot days; instead, you'll protect yourself from the sun and avoid sunburn. For the beach look, you can easily go for the Marlene trousers "Milla", which look super summery due to their color and cool floral pattern. You can wear these beach pants perfectly with a tunic, bikini top, or regular top – or dare to try something new and tie a scarf as a top. For this, I took our silk scarf "Classic" in pink, simply a bikini top underneath, and the beach look is complete!

Look 4: Trendily styled with your new palazzo trousers in the office

Who needs 3/4 pants when there are long fabric pants? For a day in the office, when it's 30 degrees outside and the air conditioning isn't working, there's simply nothing better than pull-on pants made of 100% viscose. How do you combine these light summer pants for women for the office? It's easy! Just choose our great, white blouse "Gesa", grab the straw bag "Vicky" and of course - it must not be missing - the summer pants "Victoria". Here too, you have a great floral pattern - this time daisies - which still looks subtle and great due to the combination with a simple blouse! I am also a huge fan of scarves on bags - our silk scarf "Classic" in white is simply ideal for this and gives your look an extra charm!

Look 5: Wide fabric trousers with a paisley pattern for a barbecue evening with the family

Who doesn't love it? Grilling with the family on a summer evening and sitting outside chatting until late... For this occasion, I've also put together a great combination for you with our summer trousers "Leona". That's right, these trousers are (fortunately) also available in another color: with light blue, pink, and orange, a super beautiful interplay of colors is created around the paisley pattern. And I have to admit – these pull-on trousers for women are my absolute favorite. That's why I couldn't really decide on a top and therefore present two different options: either the "Cozy" sweater in light blue or in pink – both colors are picked up in the fabric trousers and thus perfectly round off your look. Add our bag "Amelie" – and your going-out outfit is complete!

That's all from me for now. I hope I was able to show you how cool and versatile wide summer trousers are and how great they look on us women. So don't hesitate, make a cool fashion statement with your Marlene trousers!

See you soon,

your Charlotte
