When style and substance go along well, wide-legged pants, low heels, and granny panties are reigning the streets
Men’s Fashion Week opened up 2012 with a realization: economy crisis is hitting the fashion world. Designers are expecting people to spend less. Hence their creations of comfortable, essential pieces like slim-fitting blazers. For the ladies, Michael Kors launches a simpler but more sophisticated collection just a few days ago.
“It’s really all about feeling cosy and sexy,” said Michael Kors
Take a breath of relief, for the fashion world has recently sailed towards a more comfortable direction – where style and substance could go along together. Wide-legged pants are slowly replacing super skinny jeans, flatforms and low heels instead of stilettos, granny panties instead of G-strings.. and the list goes on. Comfortable fashion is crafting a big path for people could wear it for a long while without having to suffer. With that said, less shopping is needed!
We take a look at the essential items of the hot from the pan comfortable fashion trends.
1. Wide-legged pants
The a la Parisian trend swooped in last year, slowly replacing skinny jeans. Although they are not the staple pieces in typical Asian women’s wardrobes just yet – wide-legged pants keep growing as a sophisticated go-to fashion items. Malaysian hijabsters love them for they are suitable for chic covered style. Opt for the classic black or navy blue for more formal affairs and let the colours pop for the laid-back events.
Tips to wear the wide-legged pants
- Wear them with heels. Opt for wedges or flatforms for the added height. Flats are drowned when paired with wide-legged pants
- Remember the rule of balance: baggy bottom means slim-fitting tops. Another option is to wear waist-cinching belt to define your waist
- Denim wide-legged pants are tricky. Opt for the smooth transition: slightly fitting on the thigh and more loose below the knee. Avoid bell bottoms for they make you look like a lost Spice Girls member
