Drop Trou

The other day I saw one of the coolest outfits in months and it surprised me that what made it so hip were her dropped crotch pants. These pants made a reappearance on runways and in stores calling back regaling memories of "Hammer Time" but I quickly passed them over as an unflattering frivolity. Now I'm reconsidering. The outfit of inpsiration was an extremely baggy pair of white and blue striped seersucker dropped crotch pants, a deconstructed gray jacket over a plain white tank, very high tan booties, bedroom hair and an oversized men's watch. It was a perfect polished mess!

I loved what the disheveled jacket did for her outfit but beware of falling victim to too much fabric. This Robert Rodriguez ensemble (showcased in the Cooper Design Space) is a good example of how to pair the two together.
Pants of this sort will disguise most of your feminine figure and bring whole new meaning to leaving the boys with enough room for imagination. Wear them with a fitted shirt and a high heel for a dose of bedraggled sensuality. If the guys do dig it and try to pass a smooth move, you need only say "You can't touch this".
