5 of the Best Pant Silhouettes From the Spring '12 Runways

Marisa Tom — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:06:37 PST

Among the sea of diaphanous, dreamy frocks, we've pinpointed the most stylish and leggiest silhouettes to emerge from the Spring '12 collections. Of course, not all of us were born with Gisele gams, but these tailored cuts and inseams should flatter just about any form. First up: textural twists on your classic black pant. If you're going to stick to a monochromatic palette, you may as well have a little fun with it. Black's sleek and slimming effect will remain intact as you experiment with different textures. Grab a pair with leather panel detailing, a slick shiny finish, or woven side seams. Click through to see more of Spring's most wearable pant and trouser styles - and find out how they'll work their way into your wardrobe.

One Piece, Five Ways - A Fab Reader Works the Bright Pants Trend

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:13:05 PDT

From Prabal Gurung's hot-pink flared pants to Yigal Azrouël's cobalt ankle-crop trousers, brights were seen everywhere on the Fall runways. However, we all know models make wearing the trend look a lot easier than it really is, so we asked Fab reader Stefanie to show us how she works her brights for Fall. Needless to say, the cutie, who also has her own cool fashion-meets-DIY blog dubbed The Style Safari, took the challenge with fashion fervor, creating five enviable outfits based on a pair of Zara Yellow Seamed Trousers ($60). After seeing this, we plan on heading to the nearest Zara to grab a pair of bright pants for ourselves. Ready to get inspired? Check out the slideshow to see all of her looks, and why she loves each outfit.

With our new Spring shoes dying to break free, the cropped trouser wins our vote for best way to show off new shoes and just a hint of skin. Here are our editors' picks for the best cropped pants, ranging from neutral hues to pops of bright color.

Trend Alert: The Femme Trouser

Hannah Weil — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:00:27 PST

While trousers are typically a woman's play on men's fashion, the wide-leg, high-waisted version we spied Olivia wearing is a definitively femme trouser. Long and lean, it exudes class and timeless elegance without being stuffy - think Katherine Hepburn, and channel the trend with breezy, uncomplicated tops that have the same classic appeal.

Oversize Safety Pins: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 09:00:04 PST

The memories I have of safety pinning my clothes all involve either a pesky fit issue or an impending wardrobe malfunction. That being said, I wasn't sure what to make of these pieces from Ann-Sofie Back. They are super cute and look amazingly comfy, but I'm on the fence about having a giant safety pin keeping my pants or blouse together. What do you think – would you make a statement with safety pins?

The Trouser Trend

Guest Writer — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 10:40:03 PDT

Editor's note: The following is a guest post written by Rachel Zoe, stylist, fashion designer, and creator of The Zoe Report. This week Rachel tackles the trouser trend.

While finding the perfect pant can be a time-consuming and sometimes exhausting process, one style that never seems to disappoint is the trouser. As a staple in my own wardrobe, I cannot imagine a better silhouette for any occasion. Just think, maybe you have a day full of errands ahead and you want to look polished, not sloppy - or maybe you are attending a work function that calls for something understated and dressy . . . simply reach for a streamlined pair of trousers and you will shut it down in either scenario!

There are so many fab options at your fingertips, but I recommend starting with something versatile like 7 For All Mankind's new Featherweight Trouser Jeans. Not only is the waistband just right, but the dark wash can easily go from day to night; plus, they are a personal fave. Play up the flared leg with a chic pair of flats or chunky heels, and balance out your look from top to bottom by opting for a button down blouse. Per-fec-tion. Denim is totally appropriate in many workplaces, but if you are looking for something a little more professional, a tuxedo or black trouser is the ticket. Rock them with a structured jacket, bright scarf, and wedges, and you will take office chic to the next level. xoRZ
