It's Going to Be a Thing: Adventures in Pants

Note: This post has a lot of links to pictures featured on other websites. It may seem annoying to have to click on all of these outside links, but I urge you to do it. The pictures are awesome. And that way you won't be confused when I reach the conclusion of my post.

The Sartorialist is always an inspiring blog fashion-wise. But recently there have been some images that have been even more inspiring than usual.

This was the first image on his site to feature these crazy wide-legged pants. Then a couple days later, he posted this image with similar pants. They really stuck with me in a positive way, and put me in mind of a picture that I saw on Shorpy a long time ago. (Note the guy all the way to the right).

The 1930's/1940's feel of these pants really fits for me right now (see Hobo chic post previous). But as all of these images feature men, I thought to myself - how will this translate to women? The only word I can think of is Palazzo, but honestly most palazzo pants are ugly and.. ugh... just no way. So here is what I came up with:


High waisted, extreme wide leg. Very nice. I can see them with a paper-bag type waistline too. Hello Katharine Hepburn!
