The New Pant

Have you heard? There is a new pant silhouette in town and it is here to stay. You probably have not heard of the new term ath-leisure. This is what fashion industry folks call the trend of active-wear as every-day wear. The takeover is now complete with the “jogger”, the only pant you need to update your fall wardrobe. My fave styles? I like the Athleta City Jogger for work-out to day-out and the J. Crew Drapey Wool Sweatpant for looking chic at Sunday brunch or on the sidelines at your child’s soccer game. What to wear on your feet? Ankle boots or the new slip-on sneaker.

P.S. Order at least one size down for the J. Crew pants and one size down for the Athleta.
