A couple weeks ago I shared a babble slideshow about 15 trends for women this fall. I thought it might be fun to go into detail once a week for the next few weeks about each of the trends: what we {really} think of the trend, tips for making the trend work {for a real woman’s body} and where to buy it for a deal.

This week I’m starting with pleated trousers. They kind of remind me of my mom. I have a vague memory of her in a pair of blue pleated trousers that tapered nicely at the bottom and sat high on the waist.  The trend right now seems to be slouchy over fitted, ankle length, and tapered pretty tight at the bottom (or rolled). Also dressing them down with a tee, like you would boyfriend jeans.

Do you think you could pull off this look or are they giving you bad flashbacks from the 80s? Yeah or Nay?

The look: Zara $59.90
The deal: Forever 21 $24.90
