HOW YOU DO: Wide Leg Pants

Seen the wide leg pant roaming around your neighborhood? Time to introduce yourself and befriend a pair.

Like many people, this style of trouser can be a little scary to try on; (anyone else get that initial tent feeling?) 

but when styled right can be a knock out piece for the office, the weekend or a classy night out. 

For the office: Try a peplum style top as it adds the required element of structure while still keeps you in your feminine. The other work option is a simple tee, tucked in and belted to define your body for a clean and sophisticated look.
Weekend wear: The thing about a great investment piece? It can carry you from work to the weekend. Wide leg pants really are no exception. For lunch dates and Saturday mornings to yourself try a light tucked in top with a pattern or colour. If you're feeling super stylish play up your masculine, try a classic man style shirt half tucked in with sleeves rolled up. Feel  the power! 

Night out: Take your legs out for a spin and add a little sparkle! To keep it simple again try a shirt tucked in, but of course go for something with lots of detail like sequins or beading. For the serious street style gals, show off the midriff and wear a cropped shirt. The fullness of the pant allows for some skin to be shown, so if you've got it, flaunt it! 

Still have an excuse not to try a pair? I'd love to hear why below!
If not, it's time to get walked away with wide legged pants.   

PRINT It Forward

Does anyone else feel like they went to sleep in June, and woke up in 2013?

With a new year appearing in our diary's and calenders I think it's time to show 2013 what we're made of... good taste in fashion and an attitude more daring than Marc Jacobs. With good styling printed pants (yes I mean pants and not skin hugging lycra leggings) can be worn at any age while still looking suitable and stylish. Personally I feel adding a little print if fun and enhances personality and character through dressing, they tell the world who you are with out you having to say a word.
Above are some quick and easy ways to jump into the new year with some funky trunks on. Keep accessories clean and simple, something like a plain coloured geometric earning or a large faced watch would ideal.

Enjoy this trend and enjoy your new year, which I guarantee you will with a little print in your life! 

Mr Kors, Educate Us Please

This season the darling Michael Kors has continued to educate us on his fashionable philosophy on life through his pre fall collection. Know for his classic American women sports wear designs, Mr Kors has reminded us 3 concepts of fashion that we should all make note of for our daily lives. Pens ready ladies!

Leather is ageless, leather will always be on trend. Make leather your friend.
 For those who can only picture a bearded man on a motorcycle when thinking of the
 durable material I plead for you to join us in the current generation.
 Leather can be worn with class and with style regardless of age or occasion, no motorbikes required.

Legally Blonde is now socially acceptable, yes you heard me right.
Throw away your black linen power suit and replace it with something
that screams, 'I'm smart, I'm a woman, and yes I'm wearing pink.'
The following looks remind us of youth and the fun that incorporates its self within the fashion.
Not quite ready to be consumed by head to toe pink?
Try some girly gloves or shades for the lunch break.

 

 

Finally, the Long Island man shows us that pattern on pattern isn't parting with us anytime soon. The risky trend can be one that sets fear into fashionistas a like, yet if you get it right prepare for turning heads and a never ending list of compliments by those who adore your style. Get it wrong? That's what fashion is about, adventure and play!
