Yes, I know that most fashions are recycled, and that’s it’s inevitable for some old trends to come back. I also know that the ’90s are back with a vengeance. But I didn’t expect one of high school’s silliest trends to be back so soon.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the return of… elephant pants! (“Elepants”)
Store away your skinnies, as these floor-skimming trousers are staples for the Fall 2010 season. I must be getting old because I’m definitely not rushing out to grab myself a pair. When high school ended, I discarded my elephant pants because I realized I looked silly in oversized pants—and they didn’t do any wonders for the figure, either.
But fashion, which constantly manages to revive trends that were considered big mistakes (parachute pants, for one thing), is at it again. Don’t get me wrong—some resuscitated trends look pretty good, but I guess wide-legged jeans are too close to home for me to wear again at the moment. Flared pants, maybe. Menswear trousers, sure. But pants with really wide hems? They just make me think of junior high school, circa 2000-2001.

Maybe if I looked like Kate Moss in them..
So, what do you think of the trend? To wear or not to wear?

Oh, heck no! I didn’t really get them then either. Haha!
I didn’t realize the deadline for the Promod thing was last night. I just asked some friends for help, thinking that I had until Tuesday. Oops!
