Theysken’s Theory, Spring 2012 (images via vogue.com)

While we’re on a waistband moment…

Check out these looks from Theyskens for Spring! Dropped-waist and dropped-crotch shorts and trousers in a way I really can’t recall ever having seen before. Which is amazing, because a really new idea in fashion is a unicorn. I think some of the versions are more wearable and more attractive than others, but it’s certainly something to note! Theyskens does tend to design for a less curvy body type though and I sort of have a fear that chicks with hips are gonna try and wear these trousers, and that would just be a disaster. And it’s not about being thin vs thicker either so don’t get your panties in a twist! His looks tend to look best on a very straight up and down, not much hip/waist ratio type of figure. Even skinny girls who have got curves are gonna look odd in these, while chicks who maybe aren’t rail thin but have more boyish body shapes will look better. Just sayin. You should always take your body type into account when making momentous decisions about things like dropped-waist trousers.  ;)
