Trend Alert: Wide Legged Jeans!

Wahoo! As I predicted, the skinny jean backlash has begun and wide legged jeans are on the rise. Don't get me wrong - I have warmed up to the skinny silhouette, but I am a 70's girl at heart and love the elongating look of a wide legged pant. Also, I am tall so it makes my legs look super long. But for non-tall gals, it created a long, lean look so really, this is good news for all. With New York Fashion week officially under way, I wonder how many wide legs we're going to see on the runways for Fall 2007. Here is Mandy Moore from this week's Life & Style wearing some fab flares at the Sundance Film Festival.

There she is. We had mixed feelings about Olga in her red turtleneck Valentino dress, but I'm sure her cool chevron beaded LBD is a winner. I mean, stunning. Her minidress is near perfection and could stand alone, but her nude suede booties and an arm of Bvlgari jewels elevate it. Not many of us have such a fantastic dress lying around, but we can still dip ourselves in the architectural print. Let Olga be your muse . . .
