source I must give credit to the sources of this new desire. I saw AsianCajun's ode to the work sweatpant back in winter, and I also saw this piece in the NYTimes about the high end sweats-shorts last summer.
I am not going to drop a cool hundred on tailored double knit pants, but I wonder if there is someway to DIY this look? I keenly aware that I am no Legs McGee, and part of the reason why this look works is because the slender models are pairing the chillaxed bottoms with strong-shouldered structured tops and architectural shoes (both notably absent from my closet). And dropped crotches are probably a mistake for my longer torso. But hey, they said skinny jeans were the exclusive domain of the hip-less willowy wonder, but they've become democratized too. Maybe this is gross American of me, but I can't wait someone in the DIY sewing blogosphere figures this one out. Or I could just pop over to the fabric store in the garment district and dedicate my spring break to this project? Options.
