The Fashion Statement: A Case for Roomy Trousers

Reed Krakoff's (Coach president and creative director) new ready-to-wear line this fall featured them. So did Pringle of Scotland. January Jones broke them out for the annual summer Louis Vuitton/Vanity Fair party on Rodeo Drive.

Skinny pants, could your end finally be in sight? Roomy, high-waisted trousers are showing up everywhere.

This isn't the first time roomy trousers have tried to get a jump on the ubiquitous skinny. For a brief moment in 2007, high-waisted wide legged jeans flooded the marketplace. In '08, the wide-legged palazzo had a moment. A year ago, the harem pants made a run for it gaining many headlines and about half as many fans.

What makes this time different? Time will tell.

Fashion is like a pendulum. For every action, there is a reaction. It was always a matter of time before flowing pants nudged skinny off her perch. It usually takes a few tries before the eye gets used to the new look. Even fashion critics who are used to continuous change, are hard to convince. Earlier this year, style.com had this to say on Pringle's slouchy trousers inspired by wading boots: "That's a lot of pant for a body to wear."

Filed under: Apparel

One of the benefits of having the beautiful androgyne Tilda Swinton rep your fashion line is that you get two models for the price of one. The respected actress will be the face of both the menswear and womenswear lines for Pringle of Scotland. Swinton will appear in a campaign to be shot by photographer Ryan McGinley in Scotland. The campaign for the spring/summer 2010 line with both print images and a short film of Swinton will be unveiled during London Fashion Week in September.

Filed under: Handbags

A good standard for everyday use, the Kasia Slouch Tote by Pringle of Scotland is all one color (in this case black) but it has a variety of different patterns, textures, and tones to create a bag that is anything but plain. The front and back are decorated with three stripes of knot and fold detailing, and the top closes with a button and tassel drawstring. It's roomy and fully lined inside, with plenty of pockets and compartments in different sizes, has double handles, and is just an all-around versatile and useful looking bag. $2500
