Looking to Spring: Wide leg pants

DSquared2

Since Phil and Chuck saw their shadows today, Groundhogs Day, (or "the hump day of winter" as the meteorologist on the local newscast called it), this means we are that much closer to spring! Even as storm system number eight reeks its havoc, and this whole groundhog prediction business has 39% accuracy, I can't help but be slightly optimistic for an early spring.

As I start looking ahead to my spring wardrobe, the number one item on my wishlist is a pair of wide leg  pants. Wide leg pants took the runways by storm during Spring 2011 Fashion Week and while I love my skinny pants and jeans, I absolutely LOVE the look of wide leg pants, especially in denim. I have a pair of chambray ones from Old Navy that I have worn religiously every summer for the past 3 years, and I am glad to see them make a comeback in a variety of fabrics and styles (mostly because the aforementioned pair need replacing).

My favorite thing about the wide leg pant is that they are so easy to wear, and are very versatile as they can work for every and any occasion. Whether casual or dressy, day or night, wide leg pants do it all, and stylishly. And fear not! No matter what your size or shape, retailers from Forever 21 to Nordstrom to my favorite ASOS are carrying the style for every body. Here is one way I would wear the look in my day to day life:
