Flash Back: Wide Leg Jean

Flash Back
Sparking images of the 70s revamped, the wide leg jean is reminiscent of the Brady Bunch, Cher, earthy hippies, and free spirits. Originally, the pant was much more exaggerated than those you find today. The flares were bigger, the waistline even higher. However, I think the fashion world has found a happy medium since the 70s look has come back in a big way. The high waisted, wide leg jean now has a more tailored and tame look that is still fun, but manages to be chic. Turn up some Simon & Garfunkel and happy pant shopping!
Now, where to find the fabulous pants pictured above:
1. Tory Burch Spring 2011 RTW Collection: A zesty pair of single button lemon trousers.
2. Derek Lam Spring 2011 RTW Collection: The iconic 70s jean: high waist and flared leg.
3. Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 RTW Collection: A summer short take on the high waisted pant. (Don't they remind you of the high waisted shorts in the Notebook?)
