bottoms
4. Straight Leg Pants High-waisted
If you were wondering, what are the best type of pants for the Dramatic Classic Kibbe, nothing works better than straight leg jeans that are also clean and elegant.
When it comes to the rise of the pants, high-rise would be the best option.
These are the Mila Vert´s Relaxed-fit trousers.
5. Wide Leg Jeans
They also have to be high waisted. Length is the key, if the pants reach right in your ankles, that is the right option!
These pants are very versatile since you can wear them with heels to look more sophisticated or with tennis shoes for those days when you are on the go. Just be careful to not wear very baggy jeans or extremely wide leg or it will break the balance.

6. Skirt with a Straight Silhouette
Yes, as you can see, straight lines are your thing, both in pants and skirts, and this is one that will never let you down, believe me, I am a Dramatic Classic and this skirt has gotten me out of a lot of trouble.
As a last suggestion, consider that the fabric should have a moderate weight, that is, neither too heavy nor light.

7. Straight Shorts with pleats
One summer staple that you can’t go wrong with. These pleated shorts are great for Dramatic Classics, keeping your look clean and polished with the added sharpness you’re looking for.
As you can see, they are simple and tailored.

8. Shirt Dress
When it comes to this dress, the emphasis should be on the waist. A moderate length below the knees is the most advisable for you.

9. Classic Polo Sweater
Most of your basic garments have fabrics that are more directed towards stiff than soft, but for this piece we are looking for something comfy and softer.
For your basic sweater, lightweight or thin rib knits work perfectly.

Extra Recommendations:
