While we are on the subject of pants I'd thought I should bring up another trend that is not so chic as the one previously reported on (see below). I'm talking about parachute pants (or, harem pants as they've now been dubbed) that graced the runway last year and are now infiltrating the streets of New York. If they haven't already, they may be coming to a city near you...These poufy, un-flattering, MC Hammer meets Cher trousers do not look good. On anyone. Period.
Of course, here at Chaos we are all about the reader taking fashion risks, developing a unique personal style, and having fun building his or her wardrobe. But parachute/harem pants should not be part of that wardrobe unless they are your back-up Halloween outfit.
So please, please, if you are at H&M, TopShop, Zara or, god forbid, a designer's store that sells them for beaucoup de l'argent (I won't name the perpetrators) , re-assess your purchase before you wind up stumbling down the street in a diaper-like ensemble.
Stick with jeans.
