Tops are easy to find and to style. But when it comes to bottoms, be it a pair of pants or a skirt, you have to find one with the right fit or length. Something too long might not complement your height while something too short will mean that you can’t move around freely.
Most of us probably succumb to our favorite pair of jeans because of this dilemma. But it’s time to break away from the norm and try out something else. Let the #TeamPreenPH girls prove to you why these bottoms should be your next closet staples.

Nothing can elongate your legs and dress up even a plain, white top like a good tube skirt. Go for one with plain color with some accents like this printed tube skirt from Zara (P795) so you can keep everything else low-key for busy days and you’ll still look like you’ve placed some thought into your ensemble.
Zara. Available at SM Mega Fashion Hall, SM Aura, and Greenbelt 5. For a complete list of stores and more information, visit their website.

Okay, we lied. You can’t really let go of denim. Remember to keep a pair of denim shorts when the sun comes up and when you’re out of the urban setting. Janine Gutierrez goes for a pair in a light wash and with just the right length to give the right emphasis to her curves without looking scandalous. Let these high-waisted denim shorts from Bershka (P1,190) be your comfy new companion to chill days out so you can romp around like Janine.

Never underestimate a good pair of culottes. They’re fun, unconventional and perfect for weekend trips when you don’t want to stress yourself over what to wear but still look stylish. Grab these printed culottes from H&M (P1,490) and wear it with your favorite sweater like Laureen and you’ve got a pairing worth an #ootd post.

Because swimwear should be as frilly and flounced as humanly possible.

Embellished shorts can take you from the beach to the bar in just a few seconds. Just make sure it’s not too tight and try to pick something that you can mix-and-match with both basic and on-trend pieces the way Kim does. These embellished shorts from Miss Selfridge (P1,290) can help you channel both that relaxed vibe but at the same time can reveal your sexy and stylish self.

Trade in your trusy blue denims for some black pants. Sleeker and easier to adapt to more mature styles, you can even use it for your travels as Lauren did when she was headed to Singapore. Don’t forget to make sure the length hits your ankles nicely and waistband hugs your waist properly so you don’t need unnecessary folding or pulling while you’re going about town. These skinny fit tapered jeans from Uniqlo (P990) might just do the trick.
