The Return of the Baggy Pants?

Posted Feb 25th 2009 at 9:00AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Men, Fashion Week

Phillip Lim's olive baggy trousersA few weeks ago at the Grammys, Jay-Z showcased his ode against the knot-crushing restrictiveness of the skinny jean. Like usual, his deeply meaningful fashion commentary lead us into a long rant about the future of men's pants and that perhaps we're approaching the end of the skinny jeans era. Apparently, we're not alone in that opinion. The news coming out of London Fashion Week indicates that many designers are pushing styles with pleats and room for your bankroll.

Holiday Attire, Neighborhood Potluck - Tip of the Day!

Filed under: Holiday Style, Style Tip of the Day

J CrewEach year one of the neighbors takes their turn to hold the annual potluck. It's a can't miss event because it's one of the few times you get to catch up with the people you live so close to but really don't know much about. On the same note, they know very little about you so that brings us back to what to wear...

Circles and squares carefully arranged to cause seizuresRemember these ludicrous pants?

Well, here at right, we have another pair. These pants are made of insanity.

Why are people making pants out of insanity? When do you wear these? Do you just wake up some mornings and go "you know...I think it's crazy pants day!" Is that a joyful occasion, or one of fear?

Click here to see the listing. Seller Eastorlandoauctions keeps it simple: "Be casual and look fabulous!"

The Natural Store, naturally

Posted Apr 13th 2008 at 2:17PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Men, Style for a Cause


If there is one thing that we love as much as fashion it's conservation and corporations that believe in it, that's why we were happy to find The Natural Store.

This is what they say about themselves:

The Natural Store is a different type of Department Store – dealing only with suppliers who operate on a Fair Trade basis, have high ethical and moral values, or who try to minimise their impact on the environment. So whether you're after individually made organic chocolates endorsed by the Soil Association, sensual underwear in organic cotton and hemp/silk or a wind-up radio so you can tune to your favourite station, we're the natural choice.

Hammer pants making a comeback

Posted Mar 31st 2008 at 7:02PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Clothing


Are you Too Legit to Quit? Do you think Anything Goes on the Dance Floor? If so, then you should Pray that you're Big Man enough to kick it old skool with some Hammer Pants -- because baby, they're back.

So Let's Turn This Mutha Out!

Seriously though -- people are actually wearing those ultra-baggy, parachute sweatpants you thought were super-cool in junior high. Except ever since they started showing up on runways last year, they've been known as "harem pants."

These pants are a "gas"

Posted Aug 22nd 2007 at 8:01AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Clothing, Men

Phhhht! I keep thinking that one of these years I'll finally be too grown-up to find fart jokes so hysterical -- but I'm not there yet.

Hence, I share with you the funniest pair of trousers I've seen in quite some time. The style of these pants is actually pretty trendy in the first place -- especially if you're into that thrift store, indie-chic look -- and the cartoon gas exploding from this man's backside only makes them all the more awesome.

I have no idea where they came from, and can only imagine that they're one-of-a-kind, but if you have a friend who's handy with a sewing needle, please try this at home -- I'm begging you. How cool would it be if the sleeper hit for men's fall fashion was fart pants?

If enough of us join the movement, it's only a matter of time before rip-offs start showing up in Urban Outfitters. I can't wait!

Dude, can you pull off pink pants?

Posted Apr 6th 2007 at 9:09AM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Stores We Love, Men

Yes, I know, you're sitting there asking: "do I want to pull off pink pants?"

And it's true, the look isn't for everyone. I wouldn't recommend these for anyone who isn't trying to get noticed and/or doesn't mind looking a little metro. But combined with the right shoes, and a no-nonsense top, I think it's possible to look impressively stylish without completely compromising your masculinity.

I think The Coherent sums it up just right when he writes: "One might find the pink pant too unachievable or an item that looks good only in magazines. While those notions are utterly correct and rational, one can pull off this look if the color is soft, just as above. But, yes, it can be a challenge."

Think you've got what it takes? It's on sale at H&M for Spring, listed in their catalog at £24.99 (about $50).

five must haves for spring
You can't shop or surf the Internet these days without being reminded that yes, you should totally be shopping for Spring things, even though it might still feel like the Arctic. Get over it. You could use that excuse when it was February, but we've stepped into March, dolls. Spring officially starts this month and you can't be caught in the sunshine in a pair of cashmere leggings!

Look out for Styledash's Spring Essentials this week, because we may not be the Devil in Prada, but we definitely know what the hell we're talking about! Today, let's talk about the Five Must-Have Clothing Things for Spring.

Ask StyleList: What should a woman in her 50s wear?

Posted Oct 27th 2006 at 7:45AM by Annie Scott

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Ask StyleList

Recently the StyleList team was asked a great question by one of our fabulous readers. Judy was wondering what would be appropriate but still fun for a woman in her fifties to wear. This is a great question, and one I am often asked in my boutique - thanks, Judy!.

The answer is almost frustratingly simple - wear what fits you best! If you are a slim and trim 55 year old with a desire to keep up with the latest trends, then be brave and try some of the newer looks that you're not completely sure of. Just because it looks "young" on the hanger doesn't mean it will look that way once you're wearing it! Too many women miss out on beautiful clothing because they talk themselves out of it before they even hit the dressing room! A general rule of thumb to follow on "trendy" clothing is to pay the most attention to fit. If anything feels too tight, too low, or too clingy, then you'll be better off moving on to the next item. But if you've got a new top on and it fits fine but just feels "different", then give it a shot! You have to give your eye a chance to get used to a new look.

If you're a classically inclined lady with one or two body parts you'd feel better off camouflaging, then my advice is to load up on timeless pieces like menswear-inspired trousers (tailored, mid-rise waist, wide at the ankle), kitten-heel pumps in neutral colors, and three-quarter sleeved tops in a knit or heavy silk.
