HUGE TROUSERS

This summer everything is massive.
Karlie Kloss, Vogue Uk 2009

For some reason this season designers have highlighted the trousers. In contraposition with the autumn/winter 2010 collection, where the skinny trousers were the protagonists, this spring summer BIG trousers are the leading character.
They are many types in this generic group of "huge trousers" and all of them are more than welcome: wide leg, bell shaped, harem and elephant trousers.

Olivia Palermo, Mango photshoot
Wear loose shirts or tops underneath the waist band of any wide-leg pants, then add a feminine touch: a bow in the neck or as a belt, a jacket worn only by the shoulders, a clutch, a hat... be sophisticated in the accessories.

Combine very plain and large t-shirts or tops with wide led or elephant pants, be very minimalistic the less details the better.

Caroline Nielsen, Vogue Russia, sept 2010
This look asks for bell shaped pants, or wide leg tailored trousers. Make sure you wear something that something that brings this masculine intimidating style into you outfit, as a jacket, a men's hat, big shoulders and large sleeves, vintage shirts, bottons... the colours are grey and black.

Classy look

Lee Hyun Yi, vogue, korea 2011
I would say the appropiatte palette for this look are make up and pale colours, maybe some pastels, but definitely nothing bright or extravagant. wear wide leg pants with a jacket very tailored and tight, or more squared but with some feminine fabric manipulation on it.

XXXXL Trousers

This look is all about the legs so keep it easy in the top of your body. All the colours go well with this look however try not to draw to much attention on it but in the pants themselves.

Orientalization


There are two ways to build up this look : either wearing harem pants (and those are wide pants that are tighted at the bottom making nice pleats to the garment), or wearing loose pants with some kind of oriental pattern on it.
