Disco Pants : Still in or time to Bin?
November 07, 2013
The Original - American Apparel Disco Pants
As if you didn't know, The Disco Pant is back! Regardless of age, size or body shape, it seems like nearly EVERYONE owns a pair. We all know that as soon as something becomes too popular, it tends to inevitably get forgotten... and hidden at the back of our wardrobes (with some of us even pretending we never even bought them in the first place). However, I'm inclined to now think that just like leggings, jeggins and skinny jeans, the Disco Pant is here to stay.... as a staple!

Even though the likes of ASOS, New Look , Boohoo, and even Primark have jumped on the band wagon, AmericanApparel are the brand to blame for this trend outbreak.
To be fair, they still make the best
quality version, though it pains me that they have gone up from £70 to
£74!
It actually took me a while to convince myself to buy a pair, as I just couldn't bring myself to part with £70 at the time (for what I assumed was a pair of glorified leggings)
It wasn't till I saw how much use a work
colleague of mine got out of them that I caved in and got them.
The thing with these damn pants is that
they are so bloody versatile and SO flattering because they act like a wonder
bra for your butt, abs, thighs and legs. You can also wear them with anything
for any occasion, as long as they are styled in the right way.
The problem arises when you see them everywhere on every Harry,
Dick and Tom and start to think that disco pants have taken over the world.
My other problem is that I'm now seeing
them on bean pole teenage girls and wondering whether they are pants I should
just not be wearing. Over a year on, I have to admit they are still one of
my favourite things to wear.When I get them on, they still look good, still go with lots
of things in my wardrobe and can still be worn in a versatile way.
I'm getting most use out of them now as casual wear, matching them
with thick knits, t-shirts and trainers but
also feel they are the perfect day to
night hero piece as you can instantly dress them up with a pair of heels
for the evening.
Part of me actually wishes that people will get sick of them and
hide them away so I can carry on wearing mine but I don’t think that will be
happening soon. I guess it’s just down to trying to wear them a bit differently
so they aren’t instantly recognized from a distance.
What about you guys? Do you own a pair of disco pants? Do you
still wear them or do you think it’s time to get rid and bin them for good?
