Trend FORECAST : Skinny Pants
Published: Volume 14, Issue 7, December, 2006

Sexy skinny pants and the classic black and white combination are the flavours of the season

Skinny pants are this season's newest and most sought after silhouette. Also known as cigarette, slim and tapered, this versatile style is tight around the ankle and may be extra long so the pants can be pushed up to create a ruched look. Although this trend can be intimidating, skinny pants have a snug fit that suggestively lengthens the leg creating a long, lean look. This season the body conscious form is all the rage, and these pants show off every curve to the T. Fashionistas around the world are flaunting variations of this look with effortless flair. In the West these include flamboyant Dolce&Gabbana drainpipes, super cool skinny suits by Stella McCartney and cashmere leggings by Derek Lam. While closer to home, Indian designers like Suneet Varma and Anand Kabra have introduced an eclectic fusion of skin tight ruched churidars paired with flowing tunics and strappy sandals to give a cool contemporary feel. This refreshing' 80s trend can create numerous looks with different accessories. Team skinny jeans with a cute pair of ballerina flats and oversized sunglasses for a young Hollywood feel. Or wear a slouchy sweater with opaque leggings tucked into boots for cutting edge glam.
