Zig When They Zag.

Women today are flocking to tight designer jeans, narrow at the bottom and low at the waist, hoping to accomplish what the gym couldn’t.

Well, their wallets are thinner.

You, on the other hand, have never been one to follow the crowd; so I’d like to suggest something different. A new take on the silhouette that made stars like Harlow and Hepburn lankier, leggier. Yes, wide-legged pants in denim.

“Hmm, you look taller, somehow; new hairdresser?”

I spotted the original in Paris, where they know a few things about flattering the female form.

Lightweight Denim Wide-Legs (No. 2388), in soft, weathered cotton. Clean, Hollywood waistband with big, well-spaced belt loops, an open, refreshing look. Trim on-seam welt pockets and front and back darts. Waist curves up in back to form V-shaped notch, for victory over the commonplace. Imported.

Women’s sizes: 2 through 18.

Colors: Indigo, Sand, Red, White, Light Indigo.
