Gone are the days of tight fit pants and this season baggy pants are in vogue. Thus it's time to toss out those so-tight-they-look-painted-over-your-body pants and get ready to take flight in big baggy ones this season, which has to be so loose and big that it can take four times your size into it. And believe me its hot and happening. And moreover the excess material on these giant-sized pants can be a godsend as it can conceal serious physical flaws. This means normal-sized women no longer need to hold their breath to appear slimmer or a size smaller.

Gauri Adams, 25, a fashion stylist, says, " Baggy pants at the boutique have sold like hot cakes and ever since its launch this May, we have sold about 230 pairs of baggy pants.
