Friday Style debate: high waisted pants and pleats…
If you’ve been following the journal over the past few months you’ll have noted my opinion that a more relaxed trim silhouette is emerging as a secondary option to the tighter trim silhouette that has been so prevalent over the last few seasons. One reason I’m so pleased with this shift is that it provides a wider range of stylistic options – two of which are a higher waisted trouser and those with pleats.
Whether done individually or combined in the same pant the look is most definitely not for everyone – be it due to body type or pure aesthetic opinion. The reality though is that over the last six months the European sartorial crowd has been slowly pushing the look and the question is whether or not it will hit the mainstream on this side of the Atlantic.
So – what do we say to the emerging trend of higher waisted and pleats? Yes? No? Maybe?
Let the debate begin…
