Let’s Get Waisted

Felix High-Waist Pants

You like to think of yourself as a do-gooder.

Whether it’s donating your time at your local soup kitchen, helping a little old lady cross the street, or strong-arming your coworkers to recycle, you try to do your part to make this city a better place.

So naturally you’re inclined to put an end to the public indecency of the low-rise pant. Where, you ask, is it writ that a butt crack is an asset meant to be flaunted? Of course we thought of you immediately when we saw Felix, a line of tailored, high-waist trousers that are unthinkably chic.

Made from lightweight fabric with a bit of stretch, they have a fitted middle that slims the hips and flared bottoms that lengthen the legs. Available in black wool or navy, white, or beige cotton, they’re totally flattering on all silhouettes.

Just by wearing them, you’ll inspire others to follow the trend.

Or, at the very least, pull up their pants.

Available at Intermix, 1003 Madison Avenue, between 77th and 78th Streets (212-249-7858 or intermixonline.com).
