We know many of our readers are getting very, very tired of the whole skinny jeans/leggings look that’s dominated the fashion world for the last few years now. We can’t say we’re totally with you on that, because you’ll be prising our skinny jeans off our cold, dead legs, but hey, a change is as good as a rest, and we fully support the idea of having lots of different choices when it comes to legwear, rather than the current “all skinny, all the time” situation.
Most of the people who’ve been crying out for a change of cut seem to favour the bootleg jean/pant, and we can see why: it’s a pretty flattering shape, and it can be smart or casual as required which is always a good thing.
Well, bootleg lovers, we have good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that leggings aren’t going anywhere. Nuh-uh. They’re here to stay for the foreseeable, and it’s likely that people will be continuing to wear them as pants, despite the best efforts of The Fashion Police to put a stop to this practice.
The good news, however, is that there is a compromise on the table. It is… THE BOOTLEG LEGGING!

Yes, you read that right, readers: this is a “romper”. NOT a pair of jeans worn with a denim shirt, but a pair of jeans STUCK TO a denim shirt.
WE KNOW, right?
And just before we go any further here, we know fashion victims are going to come along and be all, “Oh, but double denim is, like, SO HAWT this season!” When have The Fashion Police ever bothered about such things, though? Seriously, they’re not even particularly nice jeans (not that it would be OK if they were, we hasten to add), so why on earth would you want to have them stuck to your shirt?
Also: how would this even work? How do you get the thing off if you want to go to the bathroom, say? Is there a way to separate shirt from jeans (which would kinda defeat the purpose of it being “one-piece”, wouldn’t it?), or do you just have to get nekkid? Which would be a pain, in all honesty, and would ALSO defeat the purpose of wearing such a sloppy/casual looking outfit.
Questions aside, though, we have no hesitation in declaring this to be a crime of fashion: bail is set at £158, and is payable to Urban Outfitters: click here to take a look.

Shoes! And… shells! OK, so it’s not the most obvious of pairings, we’ll give you that. It’s not like you can’t see a pair of stiletto ankle boots without thinking of crashing waves, golden sand, and lots of little creatures living inside seashells, is it?
Haus of Price, however, have managed to make just that connection, taking a pair of regular looking ankle boots, and then sticking seashells to them, in the manner of a child’s craft project. What do you think of the result, though? Do you find these pleasingly unique – after all, it’s not everyone who’ll have a pair of seashell shoes, now, is it? – or are you wondering how long it would take to pick all of those shells off them again? Tell us!

If Angelina Jolie isn’t wearing black, she can generally be relied upon to wear white, and while this Amanda Wakeley dress is technically silver, it’s still not too much of a departure from her usual style. Anglelina chose to wear this dress without the belt that was shown on the catwalk, giving it a looser, more flowing silhoette. What do you think of it? You’ll find some more images in the gallery below!

clogs by lola101x featuring Vince tops
Lauren’s outfit
Love them or hate them, clogs have played a huge role in fashion this season, and it looks like they’re going to be clinging on by the tips of their wooden heels well into next season, too – have you seen the fur-lined versions that are coming out for winter?
Clogs aren’t always the easiest things to wear, though, so last week we challenged you to show us what kind of outfit you’d put together to wear with them, assuming you absolutely HAD to wear them.
Here’s what you came up with! Thanks to everyone who took part in this challenge: remember to leave us a comment to tell us which outfit is your favourite!
