Basically, sailor pants are made to be wide-legged so that sailors will be able to roll them up when they are scrubbing the decks. But over time, it has been modified and remade until the only thing left to identify if it’s a sailor pants is the three nautical buttons on either side and its high waist.
Still, most of the sailor pants that you can buy these days are still the flared kinds. And flared, as we all know, are really big this season. Here are 10 awesome outfit ideas to wear sailor pants.
