Recently, petite style icon, Nicola Coughlan has been spotted in London wearing the chicest pair of floor grazing puddle pants. This pant is long enough to skim the floor and conceal her shoes almost entirely. Such trousers create an elongated silhouette that make legs look long. Rather than shortening the petite frame that cropped trousers can do, this longer style has the opposite effect. Besides adding length, it adds a polish style in one simple step. Nicola paired it with a coordinating blazer, striped shirt and loosely worn tie. The long-line trousers provided an elegant foundation, bringing the entire look together.

The secret to getting this trend right lies in finding the perfect length. You may want a pair that just skims the floor, creating that sleek, elongated silhouette without dragging beneath your feet. You don’t want something that is too long and it can be a tripping hazard. Shop the Nicola-inspired styles worth considering below.
