The Long and Short of It

in Pants, Shorts, Spring Fashion

As of late fashion-y types and glossies have featured some pretty interesting new pant shapes and have heralded that shorts are the “IT” silhouette once the spring sets in. One such intimedating shape is known as the “Harem” pant or “Jodhpurs”, characterized by a full balloon shaped leg and cropped length.  Be not afraid though, these lovely pants can be wearable and are comfy to boot.  Take a look at these trousers left and right…. The perfect way to style them up would be ultra casual – say a slouchy heatherd tank, drippy cardigan, and loosely worn scarf.  The shoe?  Try a uber-everday perforated tie-up flat, leave hair loose or in a pony and add sparkle with metallic free-form earrings. Want to try these doozies for an off-the-cuff evening statement?  A simple chance of accessories will take you from day to night.  Choose a wrap around the ankle golden sandal, lots of layered metallic chains on the neck, piled up bracelets, and look-at-me earrings. Hair worn down and loosely curled would be devine.

Shorts are the new skirt for spring, and rompers are also big-time.  While the last thing on my mind right now is wearing leg baring anything I can’t help but be in love with this super cute onesies that would be a breeze to throw on day or night (similiar to the pants above).  These two looks are also very easy to switch up, by simply adding a different belt at the waist.  A wide woven belt in chestnut would do the trick for an afternoon out and about finished with mahogeny gladiators or even knee-high flat boots.  After sundown try a skinny animal print or shimmery belt that will catch the light and do-it-up with some funky platform patent sandals or wedges.
