Just when you thought drop-crotch pants couldn’t get any more dramatic, the designers at Juma send a drop-crotch jumpsuit our way! Perfect for layering and ever better for the warmer months, this awesome piece combines two huge trends in one.

Well these were available at Oak two days ago but have since disappeared. As soon as I get more information I will have it posted for you!

With the changing of seasons and the tight economic times, comes a time to step back and really evaluate your look before going out and spending money on items you’ll hate in a couple weeks. So instead of doing one massive post about all the upcoming Spring trends, I figured I’d break it up and introduce to you a cool little installment called Spring Fling: Trends To Fall In Love With This Spring. I know money is tight, so I’ll do my best to provide some cheap alternatives for all you indies forced to pinch pennies this Spring.

By far my favorite look for this upcoming Spring. The hype has been building around this trend since September’s Fashion Week season, and I’m finally ready to see it flow into the masses. The drop crotch trouser is something that can be done very well with relative ease. User beware, if you don’t get the right size you may look like you’re rockin’ hammer pants and nobody wants that. The cool part about these pants is the versatility for the weather. If it’s warm, crop them up like the you see in some of these images. If it’s cold, drop crotch looks great on a full length pant as well.

Don’t have the couple hundred dollars to spend on some of the options I have listed here? No worries, I didn’t either when I got my pair. Here is an easy way to sort of DIY at a low cost. Find a pair of extremely high wasted jeans/pants from Cheap Monday ($65 always!) and just simply wear them like you would normally wear pants rather than high waisted. The stretch material that Cheap Monday uses still allows you to move freely. ***Be sure to try them on though, the waist tends to run  bit smaller because they are intended for a natural waist!

So here’s a simple moto to remember while out Spring shopping this season, ” Drop the crotch not the dough!”
