Loose clothing

Say goodbye to body-constricting skinny jeans which can lead to nerve damage and digestive problems, not to mention those nasty bladder and yeast infections. Wide trousers are back in vogue and more stylish than ever. Pajama and sweater wear is in, too. London's Spring 2012 fashion week called the PJ look one of the top ten trends for next season - it's a liberating reprieve after decades of tight, constrictive clothing.

Innovative knits are also a big hit next season with hot sweater dresses designed by fashion labels like Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Fendi. Alpaca blends, belted cable knits, and long cardigans have made a sleek comeback, making it fashionable for women to trade in their lycra and spandex for softer options.
