The Hamburglar: A Spring 2013 Fashion Trend

"When did you decide to start dressing like The Hamburglar?" is what my man partner asked when I first wore these pants. And then the idea came to me: a cheeseburger heist at McDonalds, in this outfit, for this blog.

Needless to say, sadly, that sliver of creative genius did not come to fruition. But I suppose we are now given ample opportunity to talk about Spring fashion trends instead.

Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Ol' Karl at Chanel, Michael Kors, Phoebe Philo at Céline, and the reinstalled eponymous Jil Sander, all sent black and white ensembles down their Spring 2013 runways, a worldwide memo, if you will, telling us that black and white is going to be a big trend this season. And that's why there will be a lot of black and white at our favourite fast fashion designer imitator, Zara, this Spring, like these pants.

sweater: Topshop, shirt: Equipment, pants: Zara, clutch: vintage
necklace: vintage
shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Sometimes I'm a sucker for trends. Example: florals last Spring. Sometimes I could not care less about trends. Example: wedge sneakers. I just can't with wedge sneakers, even if Isabel Marant says I should.

I like black and white (especially the way it was shown at Marc Jacobs) but honestly? I just thought these pants would be slimming.

They're not.


But perhaps the cheeseburgers are to blame.

  1. Every time I see a fuzzy sweater, I'm reminded of the time I wore one out with some guys and they said I reminded them of a sexy ewok. So to me, you look like a sexy ewok who also enjoys stealing cheeseburgers. It's a good look.

    1. hahah I'll take it! When I first got this sweater I told my boyfriend I knitted it after a bikini wax.

      He didn't think it was funny.

  2. Your sentiment on the wedge sneakers caused me to do a wide-eyed nod of agreement at my screen.

    Just discovered your blog today, love from Calgary.
