December’s all about the pants, isn’t it? When he needs a sharp pair for a friend’s wedding reception, she’s resolving to fit into a smaller size come January and he thinks, it’ll be even harder to get into her pants now. Damn those skinny jeans!

Whether it’s a preoccupation with or an occupation of pants you’re plotting, you could cover the trouser trail bpb followed last week. Some of them are no longer on sale but that’s what you get for leaving all the leg work for us.

Rabble Trousers

Red Jeans: We spotted a table full of brightly hued jeans at Zara for Rs 2,500 and then, we found similar ones (with better fits) at export surplus store Mesh for Rs 900! Available in tomato red and light purple. Also see electric blue suede loafers.

Mesh, 16th Road, opposite Hawaiian Shack, Bandra (W), call 65074745.

Cobalt Blue Pants: Braving Mango’s three-day weekend sale led to loot for a lot less (buy 3 or more items and get 50% off on the bill). In our acquisition pile lies a yummy pair of fit-like-a-dream leathery cobalt blue pants (originally for Rs 2,200), just the kind that everyone will want to get into – girls and boys.  The sale has ended, but they still have a few pairs left over at the outlets

Mango outlets at Santacruz, Worli and Lower Parel.

Black and White Leggings: You'll love these partially see-through zipper-print leggings by Siddharth Aryan. Sheer happiness!

White Jeans: The Collective sale at Palladium last weekend yielded Michael Kors white jeans (Rs 13,000) at 70% off.
