Satin Pants: Sexy Right or Wrinkly Wrong?

Posted by Siofan | Friday March 25, 2011

Pajama dressing isn't a new idea—designers trot out satin pants every few seasons. They feature soft and slinky fabrics in comfortable, loose shapes that look amazing on models lithe frames striding down a catwalk. While these pants look easy and breezy, we can't help but think how many wrinkles will show up when actually wearing them. These are definitely not your sit at dinner, or in a car, or sans air conditioning type of look.

Walking along a red carpet like Angelina? No problem we're sure—but we didn't see any pictures of her after the movie. Getting shot by paparazzi on a city street? A breeze if you're freshly-pressed like Drew.

But what about all the satin trousers on the runway for Spring 2011? Would you think of wearing any of these, or similar styles? Or is the wrinkle-maintenance too much?
