Trend I Hate: Wide-Leg Pants With Banded Hems

Okay, I know style is a very personal thing for some people, and everyone's entitled to their own, but let's face it - some trends just don't work for anyone. Case in point: these jodhpur-style pants by Emporio Armani. First of all, jodhpurs are meant to be worn while horseback riding, and I don't see a horse here. I also don't see the poor model's face - wise choice on her part - but I sure hope Armani gave her a nice paycheck for this gig because those are some truly unfortunate trousers. The pleating offers a not-so-subtle Kardashian-like effect while the banded hems add extra volume, and the results are nothing short of disastrous. Of course, I realize more flattering pairs do exist, such as Jean Paul Gaultier's linen pinstripe pair, but you wouldn't even know the two pairs were born of the same trend.
