Asian Street Style: Skipping Out On The Super Skinnies

 

We stopped by Alex Finch’s street style blog to explore what looks are favored in Korea right now outside of winter-appropriate coats and jackets.  Seoullites have dropped their skinny denim and leggings and are now choosing loose-fitting, slouchier bottoms.  These aren’t new trends.  We’ve seen everything from harem pants to wide-leg trousers revisited from time to time throughout various fashion phases, and they’re once again gaining more popularity among women and men during Korea’s colder months.

Another garment we see popping up quite often on the streets rather than in the comforts of home is knit sweatpants.  Contemporary design houses spent a good portion of the past year releasing their reworked vision of the casual bottoms that were once only made for athletic purposes.  What do you think?  Do you prefer the idea of keeping it cozy and casual or do skinnies hold a permanent spot as a closet staple?
