Celebrities and designers have expressed their preferences towards wide-legged trousers, yet skinny pants still have something to say to a red blooded fashionista. Right from the catwalks, designers like Betsey Johnson, Catherine Malandrino and Alexander Wang are confident enough to put again their signature on really tight pants. Whether it is a swan song or not only time will tell.
Fashion trends do not just disappear overnight, they're unceasingly reinvented by gifted designers who anticipate our most reckless desires on clothing, even before they become conscious, concrete ideas for us. That's exactly what happened with the skinny pants. They're still as tight as before, and the only thing that changed is the fabric they're made of. Designers went for extremes this time - leather or silky materials are in the trends, nothing else is accepted or good enough.
If you're a “skinny pants addict”, then you should definitely forget about the combinations you used to put up when wearing them. Next season, tight trousers need to be paired with an oversized top, coat or jacket – of course, the most colorful that you can find in your wardrobe. The new boho tendencies could provide you with some interesting options.
When going for leather pants, avoid any exaggeration and choose anything but leather for the rest – the look you've been searching for is “grunge”, not “motor rider”, and the only items really matching are silk tunics, cashmere stuff, or other feminine and fluffy fabric.
The right shoes for such an outfit ought to keep the same color as for the trousers, and the visual effect will be striking – your legs will be just skyscraper-long. That is but one of the reasons why skinny pants have become so famous worldwide – if you were preparing to take them to trash, the fashionista in you just won't allow it.
