#2: Let Your Legs Breathe…

Are the skinny jeans going to fade out or are they still going to be prevalent next fall? Well I don't know the actual answer for that, I'm not a time traveler. I can take an educated guess though. I'm going to say… I'm hopeful.

Although I have my own pair, I'm getting a little tired of seeing the contour of everyone's legs.

In the September 1st issue of WWD the cover stated that the denim world a 1970s feel is going to blossom in the spring. It said that in the 70s "looking sexy called for short shorts and high waists." And don't forget those lovely bell-bottoms.

A lot of the time, when the waist goes up, the pants go out. This doesn't happen every time *cough* harem pants *cough* but traditionally speaking.




For Spring/Summer '11 a handful of designers have shown high-waisted, wide-legged and baggy pants in mens and womenswear. Designers such as Jason Wu, Adam Lippes, Carolina Herrera and Raf Simons have features the look in their spring collections.

Echoing Katharine Hepburn and the 1940s, these trousers depict strength and power.

#1: Back to School…

The Fedora

It originates from the play Fédora, which ran during the late 19th century, in which the character Princess Fédora wore a hat that was pinched in the front with a wide rim. The fedora was very popular in the early 1920s to the mid 1960s. The millinery wonder was worn by gangsters such as Al Capone, and movie stars such as Katharine Hepburn, Gene Kelly and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. Classically, the fedora is made with felt and a grosgrain ribbon around the base of the hat.

Now for the summer and back to school a new twist was taken… straw.

Straw hats, and fedoras, are a very popular back-to-school accessory. Breaking gender and age boundaries, the straw hat can be worn by anyone at any age.
