Barrel/Lasso Jeans

Are you ready to join the rodeo?

Through TOGS, I’m starting to realize I have an obsession with pants. From the right ski pant, to the right fabric-it’s only fitting to move onto fit.

The obsession’s origins are most likely rooted in the fact that well fitting pants have historically been tricky for me. I have a small waste and big quads. Whether it’s ski pants, climbing pants, or surviving the era of skinny jeans-it’s rare that I find a pair of pants that fit in all the proportions.

So I was pleasantly surprised when fashion turned towards the barrel pant-narrow in the waste, ballooning in the thighs before coming back in at the ankle.

Many brands have taken the barrel silhouette and made it their own. From the more modest Totem to the extreme-I-just-got-off-riding-a-horse-for-9-hours Citizens of Humanity version. I have three pairs and decided to buy two of the more dramatic versions to be able to give a live shopping experience to all the Toggers.
