What tops go with these paisley trousers?

Keep the top simple: a plain fitted tee, a white shirt or a solid knit lets the side print and tassels stand out. Busy prints on top will compete with the paisley.

Do the tassels survive washing?

Hand wash or use a delicate cycle in a laundry bag, and avoid tumble drying. Tassels and fringe can snag, fray or tangle with other clothes in a normal wash.

Will the high waist and flare suit short legs?

The high waist raises the visual waistline and the slight flare balances the leg, which generally helps shorter wearers look longer. Check the inseam length, since flares that pool at the ankle can work against the effect.

Are these trousers good for a party?

Yes. The paisley panels and tassels read as dressy, so they work for a party or evening outfit with a simple top and heels. For everyday wear they are more of a statement piece.

How do I choose the size?

Go by your waist and hip measurements rather than the label size, since high-waisted cuts sit at the natural waist. If you are between sizes, size up so the waistband does not pull across the print panels.
