Fashion Corner: Jogging Pants

Each year, time and time again designers of high fashion, street wear, and casual wear reach back to the trends and designs of the past as influences of today’s fashions, or in some cases, directly insert the styles of yesterday onto today’s runways. One current style making its way from 90’s catwalks to the stylists’ ensembles of 2013 is the always flashy yet functional jogger pants.

Originating from early 90’s and late 80’s collections of then popular designers like Colours and European high fashion labels such as Chanel and Alexander McQueen, the jogger pants serve as a comfortable trouser option for the young man who puts a premium on comfort in both a formal and informal setting but still wants to appear as a unique trendsetter to today’s followers of pop culture. This look also transitions well in women’s fashion as a comfortable, masculine, yet still elegant option typically worn in a similar ensemble as in menswear with a shirt or tank top in an informal atmosphere or being accompanied by a dress shirt or blazer on a formal occasion. Typically made of a combination of polyester and cotton material to provide resiliency not found in any other form of trousers, while also a subtle shine that is sure to catch the attention of anyone within eyesight. Already the look has been seen on some of today’s stars such as Rick Ross, ASAP Rocky, and Rihanna as well as in the collections of labels like ZAK, ZANEROBE, Publish, and Criminal Damage.
