Love or Loathe: Wide Leg Pants
It's well documented that Jael Paris and I love wide leg pants. These pants are comfy, a thousand times more likely to fit over curves and they're stunning. What's not to love?
Apparently, a lot. The more excited I am about the wide leg pants, the more women around me shake their fists in anger. While I'd argue that the right fit and amount of width can be found for most figures, many women have told me I am arguing in vain. Arugements against wide leg pants included "They make me look square;" "I seem 4 inches shorter;" "They make work for bottom curves, but not the curves around my middle;" and the list went on.
I remain a lover of these pants. They're comfortable without losing any chic-ness, often very flattering and they never go out of style.
What's your take on wide leg pants? Are they a love, a loath, an indifferent or evaluated on a pant by pant basis?

The point is to wear a fitted top with it. The business-y wide pants have a sharp crease down the leg, and since no one can see how thick your leg is or the heel underneath. Well, it make you look chic without trying too hard. I also like the fluttery chiffon/silk variety in a fun print paired with basic tee.
The wide legged pants WILL make you look short if: 1. it drags on the ground. 2. it is at your ankle or above. 3. if you don't wear medium/high heels and a fitted top with it.
