If the trouser fits

Posters around town promoting a new look for Spring from Gap: the Boy Fit Trouser. Somewhat counter-intuitively this is legwear for women, and not immediately obvious what exactly makes the fit boyish – no signs of catapults in the pockets, grass stains on the knees or a bunch of keys strung from the belt loop.

Given that most girls’ jeans seem to reveal an alarming amount of buttock, G-string and stomach at the slightest movement, you would have thought they would be better off spending money on developing girl fit trousers first.
