6 Ways to Style Paperbag Pants: Cute & Casual Outfit Ideas

Hi loves! Just a girl over here surviving the summer heat and dreaming of cozy fall outfits! If there’s one wardrobe staple I LOVE, it’s a flattering pair of high-waisted paperbag pants. They’re comfortable, stylish, and perfect for dressing up or down. But figuring out what to wear with paperbag pants can sometimes be tricky! Today, I’m sharing 6 cute ways to style paperbag pants, from casual everyday outfits to chic looks perfect for work, brunch, or date night. Whether you’re pairing them with fitted tops, cozy sweaters, or your favorite heels, these paperbag pants outfit ideas will give you plenty of inspiration for your next outfit!

The key to pulling off paperbag pants is pairing it with a fitted top. Traditionally, paperbag pants are loose fitting. They are fitted around the wait (the majority of mine have a tie around the waist) to accentuate your waist. Wearing a fitted top is most flattering to balance out the loosely fit paperbag pants. Here, I’m pairing my striped paper bag pants with a fitted one shoulder long sleeve top and mules. Everything fits true to size.

If you’re wearing a jacket with your paperbag pants, a cropped moto jacket can be a flattering pick. The cropped jacket allows the paperbag pants to stand out and accentuate your waist. I chose to pair my black paperbag pants with my faux leather moto jacket, a fitted white tank top, a pair of leopard print heels and black crossbody bag. Everything fits true to size.

Fitted cardigans also compliment an outfit with paperbag pants. They give off a clean, fitted look on top and make your paperbag pants pop. I paired my beige paperbag pants with a white wrap bodysuit, black cardigan and beige pointed toe heels. Everything fits true to size.

Blazers also pair great with paperbag pants! If you’re looking for a killer work outfit – paperbag pants, a turtleneck and beige blazer paired with mules are fire. Simple, elegant and professional! Everything fits true to size.

If you’re looking for a date night look (or night on the town with the girls!) pair your paperbag pants with a low cut bodysuit. This one is one of my all time favorites (I have it in 3 colors!) as it is super flattering, has stretch and fit just low enough. I paired it with my beige paperbag pants and white booties. Everything fits true to size.
