Skintight Leather Pants Are The New Skinny Jean

No Comments 22 April 2011

When denim jeans first hit the fashion scene and were seen as something beyond a work pant, they were quite simple and shapeless. Over time jeans have evolved so much. We have seen them  high waisted, very wide like in the ’70s with Bellbottoms, in different finishes like the 1980s acid washed, a bootcut look popular in the ’90s, and most recently jean leggings also known as jeggings. There are only so many ways these denim pants can be created though and while they will never disappear from being a fashion staple, it can get to be a bit tedious to wear jeans so often.

One of the biggest influences over what turns out the be the hottest  trends are celebrities. Over the past few seasons we have begun to see more and more celebrities shy away from wearing jeans all the time and have begun branching out into leather pants as an everyday pant.  The evolution of how leather pants are constructed is a big reason for the resurgence of this material. It used to be that a pair of leather pants were thick and somewhat stiff but the leather pants today are just as comfortable to wear as a pair of jeans. Wearing leather pants as opposed to jeans makes your outfit look more polished and put together.Leather pants can easily be dressed up unlike most denim jeans.

The Current/ Elliott Pull Up Leather Leggings are the perfect replacement for your skinny jeans. These pants can be worn with a simple tee shirt or tank top for a casual look or you can wear something more luxurious for times when you want to dress up.  These are great pants to wear with high heels or wedges.

Spring 2011 Cropped Cargo Pants, Wide Leg Pants, and Straight Leg Pants

No Comments 22 March 2011

While warm weather makes many  want to wear dresses and skirts there are times when you may want to wear pants or even shorts. There are others who prefer a pant over a skirt or dress all the time. The problem though with pants, especially at the height of summer, is that it is so hot that pants can be uncomfortable to wear. The solution for this problem is a cropped  leg pant.

Khaki pants should be a staple in everyone’s closet but many Khakis are big and baggy and not fashionable and stylish.  The Club Monaco Renay Cropped Pants are a simple basic yet stylish  pant that can be worn with almost anything. Though they are called Khaki they are more of a peachy pink beige color.

Cargo pants have been around for many seasons now and there is not a lot of change to them from one season to the next so they have become a true staple for the closet. There are a lot of different styles of cropped cargo pants from loose and baggy to slim and fitted and everything in between. There are even a lot of pants that are designed to be worn full length or can be rolled up to make them a cropped pant.

Cropped pants for the most part will work for all shapes and sizes but keep in mind that if you are petite that the wider style cropped pants will make you appear shorter than you really are. Enjoy the summer wearing cropped pants knowing that you are comfortable and in style wearing them.
