FabSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:00:08 -0800

The rich blue hue and slight crinkled effect on these 3.1 Phillip Lim Pleated Linen Trousers ($275) are worth mentioning. And while I'm still warming up to the new pant silhouette, these are a contender. Alas, they're trendy and I just don't think very flattering, do you?Take all of my Love It or Hate It Polls here!

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: The New Pant

FabSugar — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 13:00:22 -0700

The item of clothing to put under the microscope from the Spring New York collections is the pants. Pant play has been creeping up on us — from Louis Vuitton's cropped and tailored trousers to Nina Ricci's silky pajama pants — but no item of clothing was rejiggered more than the pant. While Harem pants and slinky trousers have dramatic flair and seem to float down the runway, the real life wear is questionable. Case in point: Ralph Lauren's gold beaded pants. They are beautiful, no doubt, but would you wear these? I love sparkle and shine, and pants, so maybe I just need to warm up to the new notion.

Trend Alert: Cropped Tailored Trousers

FabSugarUK — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 10:00:46 -0700

Way back in March I reported on the ankle grazer jeans trend which began to sweep the nation for Spring. On warmer days when it wasn't cold enough for full length trousers they made the perfect alternative. Now that we're edging in to Autumn the trend continues but with a slight twist.

For the cooler months the trend has taken over tailored trousers. The skinny fit formal wear has been cut slightly shorter to reveal your ankle boots and maybe even flash a bit of ankle!

The new style are slightly higher waisted than in previous seasons and nod to the jodhpur trend with slightly baggier hips. The shape is certainly more forgiving than previous skinny styles. If you have to wear office wear on a daily basis then this is a great way to make your smart ensemble slightly funkier without going too crazy.

See below for some options currently available.

Get Your Butt in Gear: GapBody Sport Essential Perfect Pants

FitSugar — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0700

I will freely admit it; I am a workout pant fanatic. When you try go to the gym every day, you need a bunch of workout pants or you'll end up with a lot of laundry every day. So I am always on the watch for new pants, especially comfortable and flattering ones.

My girlfriend recently told me about her favorite new workout pants, the GapBody Sport Essential Perfect Pants ($44.50). So I had to check them out myself and they seem like a great moderately priced workout pant to add to your fitness wardrobe. I've personally always been a fan of GapBody underwear because it's comfortable and soft, so it makes sense that their workout gear would be comfy, too. From what I can tell, they don't have any wicking properties or fancy stuff like that (made of just polyester and spandex), but sometimes you want to wear "comfortable and flattering" instead of "fancy fabric technology." Interested? Then buy them here.

Review: Run Don't Walk Pants

FitSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:45:00 -0700

Are you looking for some pre- or postgym pants that you can pull on over your workout gear? I'm always looking for a flattering yet comfy fit and that's what I found in these Run Don't Walk Pants ($110) made by Cloudveil.

I know that may seem like a lot of moolah, but you've got to feel this amazing material. It's super-soft, light-weight microfiber that's smooth on the outside and lightly brushed velour on the inside. They are perfect for slipping on over my workout gear to head to the gym and I also wear them after my workout (since I'd rather not head to the grocery store in tight spandex shorts). Since this fabric wicks moisture and dries super fast, I've also worn them while strength training or doing yoga. My favorite part is that the material is thick enough to keep its shape, so they never look really baggy. Plus I've washed them at least 10 times and they still look like when I first got them (making them worth the price). Might I add that I wear them all the time while lounging at home? I live in the chocolate ones, but they also come in black and kiwi. If you're interested in checking them out (and I suggest you do) you can order them here.

Get Your Butt in Gear: C9 Pants by Champion

FitSugar — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:10:00 -0700

Target lops another one out of the park as far as I am concerned with these C9 Pants by Champion (extended sizes).

Not only are they only $20, but they also come in, wait for it . . . tall sizes! Leggy gals rejoice. I cannot tell you how many emails I get asking about workout pants for tall girls and I've always steered them to the Victoria's Secret Fold Over Pant until now. These great workout pants are made from a comfortable jersey knit and they're slim through the hip and thigh while boot-cut at the ankle, which makes them flattering on most body types. Buy them here.
