A new pant has emerged from the spring 13 runways and she has a manish appeal with a feminine touch.
The relaxed tailored pant is back. Remember the 80s turkish pant? Well this sniffs of that style with its high waist and bagginess at the hips.
There is an instant attraction to the ease and slouchiness of this style, but it’s the attention to strict tailoring principles with clean and sharp angles for a strong silhouette, making it the perfect pant for both casual day wear and upmarket evening attire, especially the leather versions.
This relaxed style is also making a come back as a modern race day option teamed with a slick blazer. Fashion’s love affair with the crop top remains but with just a flash of flesh, as seen at Balmain for their spring 13 collection in Paris overnight.
What do you think of the new pant? Will you consider it for race day this month?
