The Item: Burberry Prorsum FW 09 Pants

Never mind the coats, never mind the scarves, ignore everything else you will see below and fix your eyes entirely on the bottoms. If nothing else, the pants from the Burberry Prorsum Fall Winter collection are all about showing you how it's done.

An absolute clinic in my view, as to how your jeans and slacks should fit and fall. While skinny jeans still have their followers, I believe that these slim-straight incarnations from the London fashion house should be the true style staple. A shame though, that you need to spend boatloads to get 'em, but if you got the dough, why the hell not? Definitely a must buy on behalf of us who can't.

You ask me how jeans should fit? Well, here's Exhibit A.

Notice the ever so tiny fold? That denotes the perfect length.

I'm not a fan faded jeans, but the transition here is just so natural!

The slight bootcut and the single break? Signs of amazing slacks to be sure.
