So, I've bought hard into the wide leg trend this past year, and constructing pants in general has become a bit addictive to me. But I can't keep doing the same wide leg silhouette over and over again. I need some variety and some versatility through a straight tapered leg pant. It pairs easier with the other parts of my wardrobe than the wide leg, much how like I used to wear black skinny jeans with everything but we've been there, were there for years and we are not going back there, dammit.
And so! I have two new pairs of pants to show you! I revisited my pants sloper because it's worth analyzing after learning things from using other patterns. And the other pair, I chose Modern Sewing Co.'s Worker Trousers. They have similar styling to a classic pair of jeans, plus I was intrigued by the fit seeing as they don't have back waist darts or a yoke. They seemed like a good way to experiment with the barrel leg look; if I ended up not liking it I could easily take in the side seams. Now having made the trousers I think I can get a lot use from this pattern. The pattern itself, I'm half-and-half on if I'd recommend to others.
