These shorts appropriate <a href="http://content.coutorture.com/2496334">the lingerie trend</a> perfectly and could easily be worn now with opaque tights and layers. We recommend this look to the gals who like <a href="http://content.coutorture.com/2488048">the bloomer trend</a> but are not quite eager to have an elastic band around their thighs (cough, us). The pairs above in three beautiful colors and all quite reasonably priced! http://www.coutorture.com/2668476#comment spread shorts feature trend report Bloomers Silk Shorts Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:09:50 -0800 coutorture http://www.coutorture.com/2668476 http://www.coutorture.com/2562659 <a href="http://www.coutorture.com/2562659"><img width=105 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons/191/1913634/49_2008/7a127cab7ef7069c_15457005_01_g.large.jpeg'></div></a><p>We've noticed <a href="http://content.coutorture.com/2488048">a bloomer trend on the Spring 09 catwalks</a> and now, just in time for New Year's Eve, holiday versions are cropping up. Pair bloomers with opaque tights, strong heels, a cotton basic, and a boyfriend blazer and you've got yourself a chic going-out outfit. This trend, of course, is not for everyone but we will say that those we've seen it on have been women of all shapes and sizes--not just model-sized gals. At any rate, if this is something you might like to try out, there are plenty of options under 100 dollars. Out two favorites are the <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&amp;itemCount=60&amp;startValue=1&amp;selectedProductColor=&amp;sortby=&amp;id=15457005&amp;parentid=W_COLL_2HOLIDAYCATALOG08WALL&amp;sortProperties=&amp;navCount=237&amp;navAction=poppushpush&amp;color=">Silence and Noise Ruffled Tap Pant </a>($32, left) and the <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=32051&amp;storeId=13052&amp;productId=970069&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=&amp;parent_category_rn=">Topshop Sequin Knicker Hot Pant</a> ($50).
