Urban Outfitters
It all began in the university bookstore. I was waiting in an absurdly long checkout line when I caught a glimpse of a girl wearing trousers crafted by whatever goddess is responsible for such things. Her outfit was almost incredible enough to make me waddle on over to her in my daze of awe and ask her a few too many questions.
This is a trend I cannot wait to try out for myself! It makes for an easy, effortless look that can be matched with almost anything ranging from a t-shirt to a silk blouse or tapered blazer. Need to hide a food baby? Here is the perfect alternative for you and your burgeoning "infant" to hide out in for the day! Make sure you do not unintentionally create a fabric baby of your own by avoiding tucking in bulky fabrics on top. No one likes mysterious bum bulges, yes?
A cropped "kinda slouchy" trouser is a genius piece cut in such a way that will allow you to avoid being asked the question of whose closet you borrowed them from. Make sure you do not buy these trousers too big or too small as you may appear to be either an awkwardly diapered individual or someone who is having a quite uncomfortable day. It exposes just enough ankle and calf to pass as a piece that can be professional or casual when paired with varied accessories.
If you wish to try out this trend, do me the absolute HONOR of not wearing tall or even medium-length socks in sneakers with these trousers (though, Vans with low socks work just fine :)). You will appear to be a child who has lost his or her way to the sandbox (and how unfortunate a sight that would be)!
Two inches shorter and they would be called pedal pushers (stylish in the 50s+-).
