“KATIE HOLMES is on a roll. Tom Cruise’s better half was bumming around downtown L.A. a couple of weeks ago, wearing loose, boyish jeans that she pegged and rolled, teamed with a pair of strappy stilettos.

That’s right: The puffy, peg-leg ’80s profile we never thought would come back is with us again — and we’re not even snickering. Girls in East Side bars, fashion publicists in Beverly Hills and style leaders such as Holmes are doing the peg-and-roll, creating a silhouette that’s relaxed at the top, slouchy even, with an above-the- ankle crop that shows off a killer pair of shoes.”

From the LA Times article on the proper way to to wear peg-and-roll pants, which are apparently making a comeback this season.

Sigh.

  • wow, the ridiculous things people will allow themselves to wear just cuz some “stylist” tells them thats whats hot…id be like, *slap* bitch are you retarded…

  • Its a boyish look, because you need to have a boy silhouette in order to pull it off, do you understand how hiddeous and ridiculous will this look on women with wide hips? or Chubby legs where the pants need to be like size 15 in order to look baggy… I HATE IT! I was waiting for the Skinny leg tube pants to go away and now THIS!!!!! so sad, I’m never going to be on style! :( LOL

  • I used to have such a crush on Joey and how she did that ‘raised eyes/eye roll’ thing… but after being with that freaky little alien, she has gone off the rails…wtf… she needs a personal shopper/stylist fast.

  • I was purusing the j.crew fall collection…

    …and I almost fell off my chair when I saw that they have several pairs of cuffed jeans just like that.

    Why J Crew…why!?

  • have you seen reese witherspoon? she’s been spotted wearing her pants the same style recently.

    i don’t mind it, i like it! haha. i’ve always liked wearing men’s jeans on lazy days and i think it can look cute… but i think it looks weird on katie holmes just because she’s wearing flats and huge diva sunglasses and a weird jacket.

  • I guess I better bust out the parachute pants, those will be next. And a Members Only jacket.

    UGH.

  • i just looked that the jeans on jcrew (mentioned above) and they actually look much cuter than katie’s… hers need a little help, but i can definitely see this style becoming the fall trend

    :|

  • Oh God. If the Members Only jacket comes back then we’ll know the earth is doomed.

    This is HORRIBLE. I guess I should have saved all my grungewear from middle school. Only a few more years until huge nasty pants are back.

  • This makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. I have a friend who is so out of fashion that I just convinced her TWO YEARS AGO that this look was out. What the hell am I going to tell her now?

  • i’m sorry, but katie holmes has never been a “style leader”… her clothes are so boring and she’s never been seen as a “trend-setter” by people who follow celeb clothing… so until some “trendier” girls start wearing these… like the olsen twins, kate moss, rachel bilson, kirsten dunst, etc, they arent going to become a hot trend… tho they cud become a trend within the general population, if theyre less picky, i guess, but somehow i dont see that happening…

  • This is a great look, I think, but you have to have the body to take it off (lanky), otherwise best avoided.

  • Ever notice how she looks more and more like a boy the longer she stays married to you-know-who? I’m just sayin’…..

  • Her style is less painful to look at than her face. She used to be a beautiful gal. Now she looks stressed and wore down.

  • DEAR GOD. SHE HASN’T A CLUE. ALL THAT MONEY AND NO SENSE OR STYLE. THE WORST DRESSED CELEBRITY EVAH.
