Pencil Pants For Ladies Are Very Close To The Drainpipe Trousers
Posted: Dec 07, 2015
Pencil pants for ladies are extremely stylish and comfortable too. They are a must in every woman’s wardrobe. They are narrow in looks and give your legs a slender shape. Pencil pants look just fantastic with high-heeled shoes. Some people argue on the fact that their narrow legs make them uncomfortable which is not true. This is because pencil pants are not skin tight. They have a tight fit only near the hip region and backside. There are no belt loops and no pockets on the front. They are ankle length and traditionally the cuff opening is less than 15?. The leg shape is cut straight so that it looks like a drainpipe. Let me take you to the origins of drainpipe a little.
The Drainpipe trouser came into fashion in the 1950s thanks to the Teddy Boys in Britain.The pants were originally part of a suit designed by a group Saville Row Tailors, who based the style on Edwardian fashion and created them for the upper class men of London in 1948. In the early 1950s, the style crossed the tracks and was adopted by the working class men of the East End and South London. These new adoptees made a few modifications to the suit and it became known as the Working Class Edwardian, consisting of a drape jacket, drainpipe trousers, suede shoes, a skinny tie and brightly coloured socks.These Working Class Edwardians were essentially Teddy Boys, although the term wasn’t coined until 1953 when the Daily Express Newspaper shortened the Edwardian moniker to ‘Teddy’.The Teddy Boys (and girls) were the first group of youths to distinguish themselves as teenagers. They loved rock and roll and wore their suits as a means to shock their parents and set themselves apart from the older generations. Teddy Boys often ran in gangs and through the late 50s, there were many violent clashes and riots involving these gangs. This negative image became linked to the Edwardian or Teddy Suit and it was seen as an indicator of teenage rebellion and delinquency.After the Teddy Boys, the drainpipe pant was adopted by the Rockers in the 1960s who were a group of youths that loved rock and roll music and motorcycles. This group of youths also leaned towards violence, anti-authoritarianism and anti-domesticity, continuing the rebellious connotations of the drainpipe trousers.In opposition to the Rockers, were the Mods (or Modernists), who also wore the drainpipe trouser, but as part of a finely tailored suit inspired by the sophisticated look of Italian and French men. The Beatles are an excellent example of the Mod look.
