We’re coveting these skinny cargo pants
It’s probably obvious by now that we’re fans of military details on clothing. The cargo pant, which we saw in the late ’90s, spilling into the early 2000s, has resurfaced once again, but as a new take on the trend. This season, women are still rolling them up and wearing them with heels, but unlike the baggy pants of the J-Lo era, these cargos are slim and sexy. J Brand’s Houlihans (named after Mash’s Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan) have proven exceptionally popular, warranting an entire article in the New York Times. We also like this pair from Fidelity ($220), which is less bulky than the original style, with pockets that don’t add extra volume to the hip area. They come in a camo print, muddy brown, black and, our favourite, olive green.
Available at Over the Rainbow, 101 Yorkville Ave, 416-967-7448.
WOW. way to get on a trend like, 6 months too late. Forever 21 has been selling Houlihan knockoffs all summer…
No kidding, TL you’re usually so much more on the ball! LaineyGossip did a bunch of comparisons as well, as JBrand doesn’t look great on everyone… http://www.laineygossip.com/Cargo_pants_for_real_people_.aspx
Nice reminder on a trend that is staying put. The detailing on these particular Fidelity cargo pants are awesome, and suit our style.
They look ugly!…
love the J-Brand cargos! jd
