Fancy Pants Chronicles: Bottoms Up, Literally!

What’s the coolest thing going on this winter? Pants are everything! Not like other that you hide under your skirt, though. They’re not just wearing cool clothes; they’re taking the show and making it their own. Let’s enter this crazy world where celebrities don’t wear it anymore, even when it’s cold outside!

The Black Pants Move and Taylor Swift

Do you know who’s in the news? Time magazine named Taylor Swift “person of the year.” Not only did she look great in black pants, she wore them OVER sheer black tights. That would be amazing: breaking all the rules of fashion while looking great!

Beyoncé’s Statement in Gold Embroidery

Queen Beyoncé also likes pants. She looked stunning in a fancy Thom Browne dress at the London screening of her movie Renaissance. But who stole the show? You look like a champ in your high-rise black pants with gold embroidery.

The retro dance that Dua Lipa did in white cotton

Let Dua Lipa take us back to the good old days. She looks great in a jacket and plain white cotton pants in the music video for her new song Houdini. It’s like a blast from the past, reminding me of how hard gym class was in the 1990s.

The Lead Goes to Miu Miu

Take a deep breath, because Miu Miu is about to change the game! Miuccia Prada, who is in charge of fashion, thought that regular pants would not be appropriate for their fall/winter 2023 show. Models, like star Emma Corrin, showed off their assets in sparkly briefs over very thin tights. Miuccia even said that if she were younger, she’d go out in underwear. Now that’s some bold fashion talk!

Web Talk and Panty Hacks

This pant party is all over the internet. People are joking about getting a “instant yeast infection,” and others are giving tips on how to rock the look with regular tummy control pants. John Lewis says that Spanx full-coverage underwear are selling 44% more than they did the year before. Also, guess what? Free People has a cheaper pair of Miu Miu’s crystal pants, but you need to act fast because the black ones are selling out fast!

From thongs to pants with lines you can see

It’s not new for underwear to make the news. Do you remember the 2022 thong craze? Gen Z brought it back, which was a nod to the 2000s. Now things are very different. The trend is making people question what it means to be feminine and sexy. The famous scene of Kate Middleton in black pants from 2002 is even back in the new season of The Crown.

Throwback with Edie Sedgwick

In the 1960s, Edie Sedgwick was a style hero who wore black pants, tights, and a T-shirt while hanging out with Andy Warhol. In fact, Life magazine called her “the girl with the black tights.” Now, famous people like Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Olivia Wilde are making this retro style their own.

The Playful Vibe: Not Following Fashion Rules

Julia Hobbs of British Vogue says it best: more of us are asking ourselves, “Why not?” when it comes to what we wear. It’s all about having fun and being free. Julia wore Miu Miu’s gold sequined pants, which shows that this trend is all about having fun and not taking yourself too seriously.

If you’re brave and want to join the cool pants movement, go for it! Let your underwear shine!
