Spring 2011 Trends

According to what I read on the internet, there are some new fashion trends for this Spring and since it is newly 2011, I thought that perhaps it is time to investigate these trends.

For anyone who follows any bit of fashion, it is clear that "trends" coming around about once every few years. And once something has been around for a few years, the appeal of them starts to fade. During high school, mid-drift (who uses that word?) baring tops were all the rage. I expect in one or two years, that trend will return, but I am no longer foolish enough to participate...

Trend 1: Wide Legged Pants
Thanks to whatever is holy, wide legged pants are back in. I have squeezed my ass into too many skinny jeans to count, only to realize what I always have known - I don't look good in Skinny Jeans. Wide Legged Pants, however, are exactly what my ass needs.

Trend 2: Orange
I didn't really know the color Orange went out of style. ? Did you? Although I fully support the return of Orange, I am a little suspect. Prison colors don't look good on anyone.

Trend 3: Future Militaristic?
I'm sorry, but what? Not even just modern militaristic? I had always hoped that 'Future' militaristic would be non-existant, like peace and love and hippy shit. Not this, weird white bondage look that I am seeing every where. Sorry, I'll pass.

Trend 4: Dolman Sleeves
Okay, I'll be honest, I had to look this one up. I might be hip to the fashions, but I still have a lot to learn with the lingo. According to answers.com, a dolman sleeve is a full sleeve that is very wide at the armhole and narrow at the wrist. Huh? I can see the perks of that for Spring or hell, even at a Pirate Parade in the middle of winter, but really this is what I have to expect for Spring 2011? Or maybe, we'll all be ultra-hip wearing one of these "Bajas". Check out those Dolman Sleeves!!
