We as a species have favoured covering our nethers and over the years we have learnt to do it fashionably. There is an excellent bit of trivia about the history or concept of pants that the term is derived from a certain Saint Panteleon and a buffoonish character named Pantaloon. History has it that Peter the Great, the tsar of Russia who became the emperor of all Russia in the early 1700s declared that "the upper dress shall be of French or Saxon cut, and the lower dress and underwear—waistcoat, trousers, boots, shoes, and hats—shall be of the German type." The name which was used to refer specifically to the flouncy breeches has been shortened to “pants” by new Americans, eager to save a syllable.
For 2013 ordinary pants won’t do so it is printed pants now. Cropped trousers add height, skinnies enhance curves, tailored ones give structure and wide legs maximise comfort. Wear them bold, colourful with doodles or in your face artwork this season.
