3 Pants 3 Ways

One is never enough, two would leave you wanting more, and you know this Canary seeks to satisfy the style your closet craves! So we’re bringing you three of our favorite pants for the season and three ways to rock ‘em! The beauty of these closet chameleons is their ability to transform based on the topper and finishing touches. We know our fashion fanatic friends will have fun coming up with your own creative combinations, too!

Modern Trouser
cabi-modern_trouser-3_ways
We may have borrowed from the boys, but this trouser is anything but manly! The proven silhouette is simply stunning on all body types, and you can’t help but feel strong, sophisticated, and downright chic. Create a sleek hourglass silhouette by tucking in your blouse to show off a statement belt, add a cool vibe with a skinny belt slung low over your hips, or loosen up with that ultra flattering go-to proportion of a longer loose blouse nipped in with a shorter structured jacket.


Ponte Bootlet

Once you pull on this piece of ponte perfection, you will never want to take it off. Seriously, you might as well buy a few pair now! This cropped cutie is a dream come true for gals on the go who want to look chic along the way. It’s everything you want in a pant: perfectly polished and totally on trend, all while being uber-comfortable and ultra-forgiving. From yoga to a business meeting or date night with your honey, this Ponte Bootlet will complement anything in your closet.


Lean Trouser

Channel your inner Audrey in this season’s answer to the timeless ankle grazing style. This classic chic silhouette is designed to skim your curves, and the front seaming details create lean lines and the look of mile long legs! Whether you suit up with The Perfect Shell in charcoal, dress it down with a tee and Deco Vest or make a statement with the Signature Belt slung over your hips, the Lean Trouser has style staple status written all over it!

Think You Can’t? (Think Again!)

Certain trends can be scary – am I too hippy, too old, too short, too tall? You get the idea; you can fill in your own blank! But the truth is, several of these savvy silhouettes are cross-generational and flatter a range of body types and styles. It’s all about infusing your personal style expression. So fight the phobia, and rock them in your own confident way!

CAbi - Think You Can't Wear... The Bootlet Jean

No matter how tall (or not so tall) you are, CAbi’s Bootlet Jean will hit you at the right spot and look adorable with wedges, booties, and pumps. Play with proportion to add dimension to your look.

CAbi - Think You Can't Wear... The Statement Cargo

CAbi’s Statement Cargo has mastered the chic statement of casual style by juxtaposing cool cargo details with the sleek ponte knit. Pockets are strategically placed below the thigh and designed to lay flat, creating a slim silhouette with no extra bulk.

CAbi - Think You Can't Wear... The Rave Trouser

The perfect ponte of CAbi’s Rave Trouser will hold you in with great coverage. Of course, those of us who are a little more booty-shy can always pair them with a longer blouse or jacket for added coverage.

CAbi - Think You Can't Wear... The Latest Legging

CAbi’s Latest Legging is not your daughter’s legging (unless you’re daughter happens to be a fabulous CAbi Girl)! Designed for grown ups, this super chic legging is more classic than trendy. Pair it with one of the season’s tantalizing tunics or long jackets for coverage with style!
