STREET HEROES: Last Night’s Rad Event

Stop. Hammer time.  I love those sequined drop-crotch pants.  These guys both looked super fablous, and were perfectly outfitted together.  So many fashion people at the Rad Hourani event, but unfortunately the Fashion Indie cam died early into the night, but we were thrilled to at least be able to catch these dudes.

Drop It Like It’s Crotch

Drop It Like Its Crotch  all indie

Whether you call them drop-crotch pants or harems and whether you love them or hate them, the saggy crotch is all the go for spring and well into next season. After reading an article by New York Magazine, one which basically called them horrifying  diapers, only to be worn by models, I found it necessary and proper to throw my two cents in on my current favorite trend. 

Now, I’m sure half of you already own a pair, but for those drop-crotch skeptics, i’m here to change your mind and help you with a bit of styling. I think the first step to tackle is the droopy crotch itself…no girl want’s to look like she’s packing a lil somethin’ somethin’. The easiest way to avoid this is to buy drop-crotch pants that are dressier and of higher quality. Wear a tighter fitting, more feminine top, tuck it in and throw a belt on. A dressier pant gives you an excuse to throw heels on (highly recommended) to really feminize the look. Boots work well with drop-crotch pants because they taper the pant, slimming and elongating the leg to really accentuate the pant structure. Flats and oxfords provide a very casual look, but are best left for the girls with hight on their side!

Overall, to wear drop-crotch pants well, you must exude confidence. Last week I wore a drop-crotch jumpsuit (a double whammy!) and strutted the streets like I owned them. Sure, there were a few sneers from some prissy prep tourists, but I love the look and I rocked it out. Don’t make excuses for your style.

Now that I’m done patting harem pants on the back (erm…crotch?), it’s time to share what you think! Love ‘em? Hate ‘em? How do you wear them?
