Jean Pool
SO RIGHT NOW
• Higher high waists: We're talking corsets up to the bust line.
• Acid wash: All things '80s return, including this lovely wash.
• Patched pockets: Front pockets look like they've been torn off your backside.
• Shimmer: Denim with this sheen works well for nights out.
SO FIVE MINUTES AGO
• Raw denim: It's too exclusive, too itchy and too expensive for this economy.
• Embellishment: Unless you're attending Hannah Montana concerts, it's over.
• Lo-rise: Blame the muffin tops, chef's hats or whatever you prefer to call the unsightly side effects.
MUST HAVE'S
If you have trouble selecting from the plethora of styles out there, here are three sure-bets. Keep one pair of each in your closet at all times and you'll be prepared to go almost anywhere.
1. Straight-leg Right between skinny and flared, these go from dressy to casual in no time. Think travel attire, date night and brunch with girlfriends.
2. Dark wash trouser A great pair can almost pass as slacks. You will turn to them every Casual Friday.
3. Boyfriend Everything you wouldn't do in the first two styles, you'll do in these. UNLV football games, trips to the mall and dog walks all call for this style.
