The wide leg pants made a come back on the runways with Fall 2010. It was actually the season of tailored evening pants, with peg legs, straight pants; all quickly giving the dear dowdy harem pants a boot.

These tailored pants are beautiful because they give you a polished, sleek chic look. I particularly love the high waisted, wide legs, not only do they minimise the bum but they give a super leg lengthening effect, particularly when paired with skyscraper heels.
And they won’t be going anywhere soon, they were all over the runways for Spring 2011, inspired by the seventies. I found an interesting piece on NY Times Fashion & Style talking about how to wear this look. Got me thinking about how i’d wear it.
Look 1 would be wool and silk blend top tucked into high waist wide leg pants, high heels and bag; finished off with gold plated cuffs
Look 2 is more formal, wide leg pants worn with white shirt and plaid jacket, with my favourite bag du jour and high heels of course
These wide leg pants will definitely be a hit come 2011. I love your “wish-list” combo,it reflects an innate sense of style – you rock!!! Elegant,flawless,super-stylish,r the words that fly off my lips as I salivate in
Righteous fashion-lust (whatever that means):-)
