 Jogging pants with heels: you like? As we noted (with no small amount of concern, we might add) earlier this month, the December issue of UK Vogue informs us that sweat pants are THE trousers to be seen in this season, and that every well-dressed woman will be wearing them – not with sneakers, though: with heels.
The image above, from ASOS.com, is the first evidence we’ve found of this “trend” in action, but far be it for us to doubt what Vogue tells us, so we wanted to ask you: what do you think of this look? It’s lounge wear-meets-office-wear, casual-meets-dressy, comfort-meets-formal, er, jogging pants meets stilettos, but do these contradictions make you jump for joy and yell “At last! Now I get to wear my old sweatpants ALL THE TIME and call it ‘fashion’!” or do you just give a small shudder and say, “Only if you paid me, and it would depend how much?”
We know what WE think, but what do you think, ladies and gentlemen of the Fashion Police jury?

 It’s “tres cher” by name, and, indeed, this Sonia Rykiel pullover is “tres cher” by nature, too, retailing for $805.
We kinda like the humour of it, but of course the REAL irony here is that only a true fashion victim would pay that much money for a sweater that essentially makes fun of fashion victims. Poor fashion victims! Life must be so complicated for them, sometimes!

 Something cheap(ish) but hopefully cheerful for this week’s Handbag of the Week! The Knightsbridgeby Marc B** isn’t exactly a new design, what with its chain strap and quilted body, but at £39 it’s definitely cheaper than Chanel, and we love the bright red colour, too. If you don’t, worry not: it’s also available in grey and black, and you can buy it at Topshop.

JC’s outfit
What would you wear with acid-wash jeggings - assuming you absolutely had to wear them, that is? That’s the question we asked our readers last week, and here’s the final part of their suggested outfits. Thanks again to everyone who took part – look out for another Style Challenge soon!

Sometimes we think Ugg have an awful lot to answer for. When they became popular, it was like the floodgates were opened for new varieties of ugly boots to come surging in. “If they’ll buy one brand of bug-ugly boots, they’ll surely buy another!” the shoe manufacturers seemed to say, and the shoe manufacturers were right. Years down the line, not only do we still have Uggs in our lives, we also now have Mou boots, made from goatskin. Just in case there was any doubt about that, look, they left the tails on!
(Note: probably not ACTUAL tails. But still.)
These are certainly plenty ugly, and we’re just not convinced that the chunky sole will do anything AT ALL to prevent that cream fur turning the colour of mud once you’ve been out in them for more than a couple of minutes, but just to make matters worse, Net-a-Porter suggest these are “weekend staples” which should be worn with “trackpants”. We can only hope they just forgot to type the words “IN THE FASHION POLICE JAIL, SUCKERS!” at the end of that sentence.
What do you think, readers? Could you be seduced by these? If so, they’re £255 at Net-a-Porter.
