Sick of Skinnies? Try some slouchy pants on for size. I’m a huge fan of skinny jeans and pants—I’m even wearing a pair as I type this—but I have to admit I'm suffering from just the tiniest touch of skinny fatigue. Maybe it’s because I’m tired of seeing the same silhouette when I look in the mirror or maybe it’s because—let’s face it—some days the thought of being stuffed into a pair of form-fitting pants for 10 hours is just too much to bear.
Needless to say I was really excited to see words like “slouchy,” “relaxed” and “easy” when I recently started shopping around for a few additions to my Summer wardrobe. The slouchy pant is definitely a trend that I'm loving this season because it looks so darn comfy. Bring on the loose, soft and slouchy “jogging” pants!
While the area from the waist until the knee is very roomy, the best cut will taper at the ankle. Pair these pants with a heel (no sneakers!!) and a slinky tee or tank to sex it up a bit. And don’t forget a soft leather jacket or boyfriend blazer to top it all off.

The lady who loves to push the fashion envelope can do her stripes in a voluminous silhouette like the slouchy pants spotted on Chloé's Spring 2013 runway. Pair with a simple cropped tee or tank if you're feeling especially daring.

Speaking of leather…seems leather has some serious staying power and is definitely not going away for Summer. In fact, leather was all over the Spring/Summer 2013 runways. So here is a way to rock two trends in one. I like this look because it incorporates a few of my style tips on how to best wear these pants. I love the slinky tank and sexy heels paired with the slouchy pant- after all, it’s all about balance. You must balance the sporty casual “jogging” pants vibe with something dressier. A bad ass heel and a sexy top- something with an open back- would work great for evening!

Slouchy pants can make a bold statement if you wear them right. A daring relaxed silhouette (and print!)require a fitted, neutral solid top and minimal accessories. I love mixing patterns and especially like how these pants look when they are styled with a heel and a soft leather jacket. This season designers have gone mad with pattern on their slouchy pants and so should you. Take an artsy floral, a vintage upholstery print or even a Chinese New Year of the snake motif and tone it down with a neutral top.

Chic, sportswear clothes are perfect for going out. Trousers with a loose fit can be completely elegant and sleek. Here, Lanvin’s silk-satin soft pants are paired with an embellished sweater and metallic heels for a dressier look.

Lastly, here is a great pair of slouchy pants from H&M priced at an amazing $34.95. Who says you can't pull off a high fashion look for cheap?
