So they’ve finally done it.  See-through jeans are officially on the market, and you know you want them.  I don’t know who, but there’s a pair of jeans for everybody out there.  Cutting out holes in jeans isn’t actually such a great creative feat. It’s more of an incredibly bold marketing ploy carried on and evolved from ripped, punctured, shredded and completely destroyed jeans. Remember the ’80s movie, “So Fine” starring Ryan O’Neal?  Jeans with thong-like cut-outs in the derriere become all the rage.   Is this art imitating life imitating art?  In this case, it’s not as ridiculous.  It’s wearble for all those fashion daredevils who can stand a taste of the ’80s.  Hey, if you got gams, show them off!  These jeans do seem to conjure up memories of Demi Moore in her bicycle shorts Oscars gown for some reason.  Ouch.

  • Interesting! The latest fashion trend in apparels today is the skinny jeans that give you a lean look. However, if you are unable to get into those, you would also be happy to put on those wide legged pants or trousers that are also hot with the fashionistas. When worn with a short narrow top and a slim fit jacket along with high heel shoes, this combination would look cool and give you that much longed for lean look.Try it out this season!
