Apparently, I am out of touch with what’s hot amongst America’s youth. My sister and I had a wonderfully enlightening conversation this weekend in which she told me about a new craze taking over the school where she teaches – So Low leggings.

Denim Jersey Foldover Pant with Animal Print Waistband, $75.00

So Low started as a company that made undergarments that would work with the low rise pants craze rather than against it. From there, the company has branched out and started making lounge and sports wear. The clothes are available on the company’s website as well as Bloomingdales, Olive & Bettes, Shopbop, and National Jean Company and have been spotted on everyone from Gwen Steffani to Kirsten Dunst, Lucy Liu, and Heather Locklear.

Nikki points out that the appeal to these clothes seems to be the fold over band which allows you to adjust the rise of the pants.I don’t know though… I just don’t get it. Can anyone shed some insight into this??
