I’ve had my eye on one particular not-yet-a-trend for months now. It hasn’t sprung up but I really think it will. If you put on your Trend Forecaster hat for a second, you’ll note that underwear as outwear has come “in” and then there’s the whole 90s thing (which I swear never really left). Aaliyah was obviously an early adopter but I think this time around boxers will be more femme and prepped up. Or totally grunged up, who knows. I don’t see it being a super mainstream trend or even making it into an F21… it will probably be more like that dying foxtail thing… Wow, I swear I don’t spend this much of my time thinking of fashion as science!
Anyway, I saw this photo on Nikki’s blog and I am currently completely obsessed – I think it’s a great look. I realized I had most of the fixins to try it out, so here is attempt #1 with some old jeans that have sat unworn for years because I’m not a fan of pocket designs… Obviously I need to steal the bf’s jeans too or finally find that elusive pair of perfectly destroyed vintage Levi’s.
And even if my trend prediction is totally off-base, I fully plan to play with boxers a hell of a lot more soon.

Interesting forecast! I’ll keep an eye on this one. Definitely a look I rock at home but not in public. Hate to pull the race card but I’d love to see a while girl actually make this look cool.
love ur style n blog page check out my http://www.fashionlife-peggy.blogspot.com
LOVE your wedges. So awesome. Great post!

well i certainly dig this look…i used to do this in high school and people thought it was weird. but whatever. you’ve given me the confidence to maybe try again. and i salute you for coming up with your own trends and not following what “the man” tells you
I think Wang is capitalizing on it right now with his s|s co and the underwear line.
I’m loving this look on you and the green Balenciagas make my soul weep with joy.
hmm definitely interesting! I don’t think I would be able to pull this off, but you totally rock it! as usual!
NOOOOO! Aaliyah can pull this off but NOT you!!! I always love your style choices, but sorry, you just can’t pull this off!
sweetmint is my favorite
I really dig your blog! And yeah, interesting trend cast….anytime I wear low slung boyish pants I have no qualms about my underwear peaking out, it they’re a solid color and not a thong that is…boxer brief-ish if you will.

I tried this look a few years ago, but all that happened was a little kid pointed out my underwear was showing. He still didn’t buy it when I told him it was supposed to be showing… It’s such a cute look though and would be a fun if it caught on.
such a lovely photos you have in here
never seen this with tight jeans – it looks good! I like how you made it look new, girly and less hip hop.
YOUR BLOG IS SIMPLY AMAZING, OUT OF MY 250 BOOKMARKED FASHION BLOGS YOURS IS MY MY TOP 10. VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER, CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING. I LOVE IT
As for the trend it is very reminiscent of the the 90s Hilfiger ads with the late great Aaliyah..Lets see where this goes.
lol “yours is in my top 10″
How do you foresee a trend?
OMG lol that picture of Aaliyah brings me back!!! Gosh those good old tommy hilfiger days.
amazing pics<3
LOVE this look. I am obsessed with the 90’s. How can we not be, seeing as how that is our childhood era? I also noticed this boxers trend in the Jcrew catalog styled under some shorts at the beach. yours seems much more street appropriate.
