Since the 1970s, clothing manufacturers have been producing purple pants in a variety of cuts. If you’re diligent and have the patience for thrifting, Etsy-ing, or eBay-ing, you can find a great pair in excellent condition and for much less than a brand new pair. You might want to consider buying a bigger pair of pants, and then taking them to a tailor to have them custom-fitted to your body shape. It’s a double-whammy; you not only get a perfectly contoured pair of on-trend pants for a fraction of the price, but you get an incredible sense of reward from “the hunt.”
Hit me up on Twitter, @ChiStreetStyle, or on my Facebook Page wall to let me and the other readers know if you were able to find a pair. I’d love to hear about your treasure-hunting!
The question is, was he being ironic? Or does he actually love deer? This was a middle-aged white man, presumably a buyer, entering the runway shows at Lincoln Center.
There is so much I love about this photo of Marie Clare‘s Taylor Tomasi-Hill and Joanna Hillman from Harper’s Bazaar. Sure, they’re both dripping in insanely fashionable items. I was obviously drooling over the Alexander Wang ribbon skirt and leather clutch. There’s nothing particularly surprising about these women looking phenomenally good, although I must admit that Joanna gives Anna Dello Russo a run for her money in the “most toned legs” street-style award category.
Beyond all the hip accessories and bleeding-edge fashion, what is this a photo of? Friends laughing together. It’s so simple, a universal human experience, people bonding over a good chuckle. I love that Joanna is the one who made Taylor laugh. Every time I saw the two interact on the street they appeared to be genuine friends. Great photos cause an emotional reaction, and this one sparks a natural sense of curiosity about the subjects. A really great photo, particularly a street-style photo, has to contain a number of different layers. For me, there needs to be a depth that goes beyond composition and lighting (although obviously I’m working on those, too). There has to be a soul. A two-dimensional, soul. After all, that’s what makes still photography so tough!
