Widen Your Perspective with Wide Leg Jeans!
2007-04-12 06:41:00
So as always with a new season comes a new inspired twist on an older trend. The other day I was channel surfing and came upon a a CBS piece on Trendy Spring Looks For Less. Their take is this...Two of spring's biggest trends are print tops and wide leg jeans. The prints are bold and mod. The jeans are wide-legged and start at the hip. Not just a boot cut flair at the bottom, all the way down. They were paired with wedge cut shoes, which are back for another great season. The segment guest was Redbook magazine's editor, Cheryl Kramer. In "Chic on a Shoestring," expensive "splurge" outfits are shown along with much more reasonably priced combinations, called "steals." It's often hard to tell the difference. I got all caught up in the wide legged jean look! It's so hot. Cheryl featured Paige Premium Denim jeans. Take a look at "Robertson" for a classic jean that flows into a sweeping flare. The cleaverly angled side seams simply trim inches from hips. These are ...

Luck Brand Lil' Maggie Jean s Look at these two examples of patching on Lucky?s Lil Maggie jean. The color of the patch can make the patched area look more or less obvious. If you choose a denim patch that is the same shade and texture as your jeans, it will barely show.

Wide Leg Jeans: 4 great finds for the latest look
2007-01-17 22:49:00
You?ve heard the buzz, wide leg jeans are the latest thing. Everyone from Kate Moss to Lindsay Lohan is loosening up their style with the new wide leg jean look. Spring always seems to bring out the inner sailor in the fashion industry, and the newest wide legs are no doubt a spin off of that nautical theme. On the other hand, perhaps it?s just a reflection of our desires to be free of the constraints of winter (and those super tight skinny jeans). Wide leg jeans seem to be the antidote this spring.
