Allspice Glamour Pants

Dresses are pretty and skirts are nice, but a woman in these sharp slacks adds serious spice! With a love for menswear, I immediately saw myself in these. While women began wearing pants for practical reasons in the 1800's, glamor girls like Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn voluntarily wore them as a fashion statement. I'd feel like a classic Hollywood go-getter in the luxurious linen woven with colors of clove and cream, and you can too!. Their high-waisted cut accentuates your shape, whether you have narrow hips or full, round hips like me. Deep front pockets for your change purse and cell phone are each garnished with a clever triangular flap, while a back zipper leaves the front smooth and sleek. Cuffed hems on each wide leg lead the way for stilettos, oxfords, or cork wedge sandals. I once saw a black and white photograph of Katharine Hepburn wearing such sandals with cuffed, wide leg pants when I was 15. Among all the satin cocktail dress-wearing, glamorous beauties I admired, Katharine stood out to me in her sophisticated, femme-tomboy look. I made a girlish attempt to copy the look (and elegance) by adding a white collared shirt and ruby red lipstick. Now, I can create the same refined and glamorous style statement with these spice-peppered slacks, perhaps adding a fitted teal top or silky blouse. Once again, feminine glamor branches out from frilly frocks to sassy slacks like these. -Angela, Fashion Writer
