A Brand New Bag


Skinny jeans have been the thing for a while now. From super-skinny-skin-tight-almost-leggings to the basic cigarette leg, the trend has been pretty slim. Then, along came the wide-legged, higher waisted, almost 70's bell-bottom. The boot cut's been trying to worm it's way back in, but I'd say the jury's still out on that style, even if the 90's grunge thing is making a comeback--which it totally is. Which brings me to the latest look in denim: this baggy, boyfriend jean, as seen on Amanda Peet. This look is so perfect for where we're at now. A bad economy equals an easier, less is more, I'm-wearing-my-stylish-older-sister's-hand-me-downs kind of look. Let's call is Recession Chic.
