Out – Skinny Jeans and Babydoll

Girls, according to my microeconomic textbook author, skinny jeans are out and baby doll dresses might soon be passé:

…Skinny jeans have been fashionable for the last few years, but there are signs that the trends are now moving toward straight-leg designs. If the tide changes, pretty soon everybody will be selling straight-leg jeans.

…

If all the designers are showing baby doll dresses in the spring of 2006, then there’s a good chance that is what everybody will be wearing by the summer of 2006.

But then again, he also went on to say:

Since I have the same fashion sense that most economists have — that is, none whatsoever — I cannot attest to the accuracy of the law professors’ description of the fashion industry.

Ouch!

Anyway, it is a good article on economics and intellectual property law.
