» flying through fall by the seat of your pants
We are very excited about the huge comeback pants have made this fall! With many different cuts, styles, shapes, and fabrics to choose from, we feel confident every girl can find a pair she feels good in. We would like to encourage all of you dress lovers out there to try out some pants on your next night out. We feel very confident that pants can be just as sexy and have just as much “wow” factor as a dress. We aren’t trying to knock dresses here; we love em’ too- but as always, we encourage you to step out of your box and hope to guide you in doing so. We adore the slouchy, slinky pant with either a rolled or elastic hem hitting just above the ankle paired with some killer heels. Throw on a simple tank and maybe add a cropped jacket and you will look like a million bucks! This pant works for day as well… add some flats on the bottom and a skinny military-esq button down on top, pile on some bangles, and you will be the envy of all of your friends.
We are also loving the skinny legging/pant hybrid… more substantial than a legging with lots of stretch for comfort, there are so many variations of this pant for fall, from equestrian detailing to motorcycle inspired styles. For those of you who say you can’t wear leggings or skinny pants, I kindly disagree… these pants are forgiving and slimming and nothing like those all too scary leggings some of you wore back in the 80′s. If you are worried about the size of your derriere, a longer top/tunic will conceal all manor of sins… add some heels, a longer structured blazer, and banish those negative thoughts from your mind as you strut it like you mean it! Boyfriend button downs and off shoulder, slouchy tees are a perfect top to this bottom as well.
We never like to give you too many rules here at penelope t… we firmly believe in personal style and love the gal who surprises us with interesting combinations. Find the pant that works for you this fall! Aside from the ones mentioned above, many designers showed a high-waisted wide leg look (so 70′s!). Cargo’s are still going strong, as are harem pants. Even printed pants have made a comeback (check out Proenza Schouler Fall 2010 RTW)
