All of the recent discussion about the changing silhouette for casual pants--toward a narrower shape--has got me wondering about the silhouette for trousers. I am thinking the kind of basic trousers that are suitable for a non-casual work environment or a business meeting. Are wide-leg and trouser cuts still au courant, or has the shape changed there too?

I woke up one morning last week and realized that I am the only woman left in North America who doesn't own a pair of skinny-leg jeans--I wonder what else I might be missing!
