With the new year upon us, it's time to start thinking about our spring wardrobes. I was lucky enough to get a first look at what new trends will be cropping up in '09 when I attended New York Fashion Week this past Fall. While I loved a lot of what I saw, (i.e. tropical prints; bodysuits; voluminous, flowy, femenine sillhouettes) there were some trends I've still been trying to digest--namely, the return of the harem pant. Everyone from Michael Kors to Betsey Johnson to Diane Von Furstenberg showed this trend on the runway. Though I do like the sillhouette, my main concern is that this would be a tough look for a curvy woman to pull off. Much like the boyfriend jean, this look requires balance proportion for those of us who aren't 6'1 billowy supermodels ;)
Curvy gals, if you dare try this trend, be sure to add heels and a fitted top, just so you won't get lost in all that fabric!
