OK, friends. I know I'm famous for wearing the occasional questionable garment (my catsuit comes to mind), so I shouldn't be one to talk. But if I see another pair of gaucho pants—those cottony, cropped, wide-legged yoga pants gone wrong— I just might implode. Yes, they look comfortable. Yes, they're (relatively) inexpensive. But the virtues end there. Even if you've got a body type that suspiciously resembles Nicole Ritchie's, these cruel, cruel capris-gone-wrong absolutely refuse to flatter. They're unabashedly tight around the hips and belly (which is one of the widest parts on any body) and then saggy and loose around the lower thigh and knee (where we're usually slimmest, right?).
