Marc Jacobs Collection Cropped Flare Pant

Megs · Jan 29th, 2006, 12:43 AM

Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week. For some reason, Sunday feels about 182 times lazier than Saturday. It always has to me. It is more of a lazy unproductive day for me than any other. Typically I don't get out of my PJ's until about 2 pm (that is if I do ;-) ). So while I understand wanting to wear comfortable clothes, I also find some 'comfortable' clothes unappealing. Having nothing to do with bags at all, I'd like to introduce you to a pair of pants that I don't quite understand. I stumbled upon the Marc Jacobs Collection Cropped Flare Pants and immediately became perplexed. Usually the models on the sites/in the magazines can pull off the craziness of clothes, but I don't think these pants look flattering at all. Yet, these pants are a distinctly look straight from the Spring 2006 runway show, which means I may be way out of style this spring since I don't like these pants. Made from 100% cotton, the cropped flare pant 'sits low on the hips and then flares out with brio to create a voluminous leg that stops just short of the ankle- pair with a more fitted top for striking style'. If you were to wear these pants and did not pair them with a fitted top, it would look even more wrong in my opinion. The pants also have two pleats on each side, side trouser pockets, a back flap pocket on the left, and a back besom pocket on the right. I'm quite tall and I can imagine myself looking like an oompa-loopma in these. To me, it would take an extraordinary person to pull these pants off. Am I wrong? Buy these cotton pants for a hefty $875 via eLuxury.

Lol! I have to agree with you, I don't think it will flatter people, regardless. Too big.

These are incredible.

I do not see how any woman will look attractive in this design.

Back in the 30's/40's, do I recall a trend for wide legged pants a-la Marlaine Dietriche? (forgive my spelling)
Those pant styles were slimmer and ankle length, I believe, making the wearer most stunning.

Capital...U-G-L-Y and for $875, Marc J must be laughing all the way to the bank!

To me it looks like the model is about 4'5. I'm not knocking short people, as I am one of them. The pants just don't look proportioned at all. I like the pants just not on that model.

i feel like i could fit my legs in there with this poor model's and that is just a sad thing that should never happen with any pants... MJ...what were u thinking?? nevermind $875...makes me slightly sick

I personally am still liking the gaucho pants, but I prefer either the soft cotton knits that moe nicely, or the slightly shorter structured pant with a more narrow leg. These look unflattering at any speed.

Too many wrong things with that pant!!
