Denim Forecast: Kelley

Typically, we see silhouettes in clothing go from one extreme to the other within a given period of time. For example, when we look at denim in the 90's we see oversized, baggy styles that gradually got slimmer in the years following leading up to where we are now; men's jeans in skinny styles that are just as slim as women's!

As the fall 2011 collections roll out we are seeing a more relaxed fit in men's pants.  This leads me to believe that we will see gradual movement back towards a loose fit, stove pipe jean.  It may take years to get back to that but I think it will happen eventually.
