What has happened to pants? They seem to have vanished into thin air. If we look closely around we will see leotards, teeny-tiny shorts and whole lot of lace stocking. Now don’t get me wrong I love all fashion and I do wear stockings and shorts but seriously would you wear these with no pants? Or skirts or some form of clothing that hides your cha cha. These form of clothing are all pretending to be pants! And there are not. Pants are pants! This new breed of outerwear is really just undies masquerading as fashion. Suddenly flashing the same amount of flesh as you would in the privacy of your own home has become cool. And not just on the dance floor, on the street, at the office and even on the red carpet.
This probably started with French vogue, who printed an issue of vogue declaring that a fashion revolution was to be upheld – declaring the no pants rule! All type of pants were out – jeans, trousers etc. French vogue dedicated an entire issue on how a small piece of
fabric was now “in!” Call me old fashion but how can any one be comfortable in a small amount of fabric below the bellybutton and then be brave enough to step out in public? It was French feminism, as they declared it time for women to liberate their legs from those pesky things called pants. Sometimes fashion magazines throw out a crazy, ugly trend to see if it will catch on, and see whether or not there are brave or stupid people out there willing to try something new! The world is full of stupid people. And when it comes down to fashion, there’s definitely the crazies out there. By going pantless it requires a certain kind of crazy.
Defenders of the this trend will most likely say that Sienna Miller’s black opaque tights worn with matching knickers were genius! And earlier this year Katy Perry went for coffee in lace stockings and a leotard. I call this crazy but they call it cool, I mean come on people do you really want to see cameltoe casually strolling down the road. I think not! Interestingly enough the French are responsible for this so-called trend but the whole bloody sans pantalon wave, French women haven’t adopted it into their own wardrobes, they preferred to leave it to the Aussies and Yanks!
