Revisited: PH ladies, chill with the tight, tapered pants

Ok, so I still see these curious lemmings, squeezed into the laughable, '80s-style, super tight, and tapered jeans. They are laughable because most women (and all guys), who wear them look ridiculous in them. That hasn't changed. However, some designers have had the good sense to recently include the booty enhancing cut into the rump area. Also, the leg openings are tad more palatable, so that's good. So now, if the ladies want to look like every other woman walking around, they at least have the choice to look better than most of the other women walking around. It still amazes me that women put these pants on, and look in their mirrors, and trick themselves into believing that they look good. Only five percent of women have the bodies to pull the look off in the first place. It is as if Simon Cowell's shirt designer decided that women should look like sausages too, and started making pants. What's next, bicycle shorts?

    What's next: high waisted jeans.

    No, seriously. Get ready for mommypants.

    High-wasted pants have been hanging around as a soon-to-be-the-thing for the past few years now, so I wouldn't be surprised. Hey, I'd rather see a bunch of Pam Griers and Susan Antons walking around than millions of Sid Vs and Johnny Rottens.

    high waisted pants and the pants that are so high they include a built-in strapless shirt are so wanting to make a comeback - don't let it happen!

    I used to have a skirt I wore as a strapless dress.

    I must admit that I wouldn't mind seeing the t-shirt skirts come back, and I'm not referring to the belted shirt-dress. Despite this '80s revival we've been enduring the past couple years, I have only seen maybe one woman with a t-shirt skirt. Now that, my friends, is the real deal '80s. Most of the stuff we see on the streets is '80s movie rehash. Japanese headbands, anyone?

    I would rather be pulling my jeans to avoid whale tale over having my jeans cutting into my ribcage.

    Maybe it's time to rehash the early 90s overalls for ladies look. Never was a fashion so practical.

    In the mid-to-late '80s, the girls would take a regular t-shirt and turn it into a skirt. Don't really remember how they did it and whether it involved ripping or cutting the collar, but it was pretty hot back then.
