Military influences are hot, hot, hot this season, and we don’t see this trend going away any time soon! Today we wanted to focus on one of the emerging military trend spin-offs – skinny cargo pants. We see more and more women in SoHo and meat packing district in New York City wear skinny cargo pants. And contemporary brands are ready to meet fast growing demand. 

Skinny cargo pants is the perfect way to give your feminine side a bit of an edge! We love them dressed up with a pair of heels or cool combat lace up boots! You choose!

2009 was the year of ‘boyfriend’ things, and we are going to see a lot of this trend carried forward into 2010.

So, the boyfriend cardigan has its place among boyfriend jeans, shorts, jackets, blazers, etc. Even though cardigans are very useful this time of year, they become scarce as retailers stock up resort and spring items. So, we checked online retailers for what’s left of their boyfriend cardigan inventory. Enjoy…
