I'm not a huge fan of the slacks look for women (as you may have guessed). The problem began in the mid sixties - before then, women never wore pants. The Capri got a heavy lift from Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show, and with the coming of Women's Lib, pants were fair game for all women. Of course, who can complain about the skin tight jeans that became popular in the mid seventies.... but this post isn't about jeans. We're talkin' slacks. The term itself is rarely used anymore…
