Omiru Poll Results: Wide Trouser Jeans are IN!

Omiru Poll Result: Wide Trouser Jeans are In!


Wardrobe Wide Leg Stretch Denim PantWe asked: Are Wide Trouser Jeans In or Out?

You said:  Three cheers for Wide Trouser Jeans!  A 75% majority are all for this looser, more figure flattering style.

Omiru’s take: We had a hunch that Wide Trouser Jeans were ready to steal the spotlight away from the skinny jeans popularized by leggy actresses and models.  Given their flattering silhouette and forgiving shape, we’re celebrating their rise in popularity.  Style tip?  We’d recommend balancing these jeans with more form-fitting tops to achieve the classic small-over-big silhouette.


Next Question: Our friends at Couture in the City recently ran an article about shiny celebrity style mishaps.  Says Wendy O. of Couture in the City, "The tinsel is off of the tree and the ball has long dropped in Times Square…so lets put away the shiny stuff until next holiday season."  But
what do You think?   Tell us, is Metallic Fashion In, or is it
Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Omiru Poll Results: Charm Bracelets are (Barely) In

Omiru Poll Result: Charm Bracelets are (Barely) In


Forever 21 Charm BraceletWe asked: Are Charm Bracelets In or Out?

You said:  We’re divided.  While "In" got 46% of the vote, "Out" got almost as much support (37%). 

Omiru’s take: We appreciate that Charm Bracelets, much like Cufflinks for men, allow you to express a little bit more about yourself.  Tennis fan?  Show your sporting spirit with a mini tennis racquet.  Oenophile?  Reveal your love of wine with a tiny wine bottle charm.  That said, they’re seen in some circles as kitschy.  Our verdict: this is a jewelry trend that’s more fun than fundamental, so spend accordingly.


Next Question: Our Trendscape: Wide Trouser Jeans sparked a bit of a debate as to whether or not they’re In yet.  But what do You think?   Tell us, are Wide Trouser Jeans In, or are they Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Omiru Poll Results: Bright Yellow is IN!

Omiru Poll Result: Bright Yellow is IN


Kenneth Jay Lane Oversized Enamel/Pearl Flower RingWe asked: Is Bright Yellow In or Out?

You said:  Long live Bright Yellow! A significant 70% majority is all over the cheery color.

Omiru’s take:
We’re sweet on Bright Yellow to cheer up an otherwise humdrum outfit.  Got a pair of grey slacks and a white button-down for work?  Add a Bright Yellow sweater or overcoat to the mix.  Even if you’re not into bold colors, you can still add spark to your wardrobe with Bright Yellow accessories.  Try out Bright Yellow with a cute handbag, a pair of shoes, a brooch, or even a ring.

Next Question: We’ve noticed Charm Bracelets rising up the trend ladder, probably for their inherent versatility. But what do You think?   Tell us, are Charm Bracelets
In, or are they Out?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!
