Of all the dubious fashion trends in recent memory — rompers for grown-ups, homeless chic, the cowboy boot in summer — none is more dubious and perplexing than this latest one: Looking like you forgot your pants.
It is, at the moment and among a certain subset of fashion girls, the most avant-garde mode of dress: Pairing a tailored Oxford shirt with a boyfriend blazer and $500 shoes, topped with some artfully tousled bed-head and smudged eyeliner. And off to work!
As with most ridiculous trends, it gestated on the streets of Williamsburg and the Lower East Side for a year before its embrace by the mainstream.
In any event, I'm still introducing my new top for men -- The Jennings.

I've seen this in the morning and was tempted to say something but...let the coworkers do it. Ladies, tights are NOT pants. Please.
nice animal house tie-in. sutherland is hysterical.
On men, I believe the shirt-with-no-pants aesthetic is referred to as "Porky Pig Style."
@Alex. Ha!
Oh I too saw a girl today on Ave A with no pants. She was wearing a crochet hat and scarf over her blouse. And did you know that a machine cannot crochet, so we know it was made by hand.
I wanted to ask her where her pants were, and then realized I would sound like my grandmother. So that was kind of depressing, actually. Now I would say, "No pants! Excellent choice, missy."
