The Welcome Return of the Wide-leg Pant
Before the arrival of harem pants in my wardrobe, my most-worn style of pants was the wide-leg pant, especially in the man-style cut. It still is my favourite style of pant (if I can fit into them), and it was refreshing to see its return off the catwalk during the SS'11 Fashion Weeks:
With a casual draped tee
How perfectly cozy and fuzzy does that sweater look? Gorgeous soft pink too...
Wide-leg pant in denim, with Alexander Wang top
In camel, the current 'it' colour. Love the cut on that structured jacket.
Worn with a relaxed blazer & funky wedges.
The Track, Harem & Peg-legged/Tapered Pant:
Proenza Schouler top, 3.1 Phillip Lim pants & Chanel shoes
I absolutely adore these pants! Beautifully draped, resembling a skirt from the side-view
I still drool over Vera Wang's statement necklaces
great post, love your blog!

Wonderful post, B.
ReplyDeleteI love wide-leg pants & anything that resembles the 70's:)
ReplyDeleteAwesome look! Thanks for the great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI finally found a pair of relaxed capri pants that actually fit me. I'm only 5"2, so all of the harem pants, capri pants, drop-crotch pants on the market just look *odd* when I put them on. And you can't just take up the hems, because it changes the whole structure.
ReplyDeleteBut on a recent trip to Malaysia, I finally found a pair that fit me perfectly. It was worth the wait - they are comfortable, colourful, and just divine.

So beautiful post and...pictures !!
ReplyDeleteI love those wide leg trousers but can NEVER find them. Closest so far are a vintage black velvet pair of palazzo pants.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
The goldenrod coloured Philip Lims are stunning, so unusual to see trousers in ncie bright colours.
ReplyDeleteAs would be the Hegelian rule, wide leg would be the next trend...
ReplyDeleteBut I LOVE it as well. Straight from the hip is such a flattering style for so many people.
