Hammertime

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Raez




Ph. by Nikki Tamayo

Oh, hammer pants. With your droopy, elongated bum and your too-loose thighs and calf-hugging form, I wonder–how do you flatter people? Well, I guess this outfit is my solution to the question that’s been nagging people since the beginning of their appreance in the late 80s. Start by drawing attention to your waist with a bright belt, then balancing the volume with something fitted (tailored blazer, natch) and finally, elongating your legs with some major platforms. And there you have it. Hammer pants you can touch!

Wearing a vintage velvet blazer and yellow belt, nude tank and white mesh top courtesy of American Apparel, pants c/o Trooops, bullet + crystal necklace c/o La Dama and Sonia Rykiel for H&M shoes.

    >I will say I do really like how you've styled these, the bright belt and platforms make a big difference I think.

    And while you and some others I've seen can pull off this look and totally look great, I still don't know if I will ever be able to channel Mr. Hammer without feeling awkward.. the baggy crotch just isn't for me.
