Are My Trousers Supposed to Drag on the Ground? How to Wear Puddle Pants.
'Puddle pants' — essentially wide-legged trousers so long they hit the ground and 'puddle' around the feet — is a relatively new term for a not particularly new phenomenon. But it sounds so much more exciting, and intentional, than just 'extra-long pants'! And while they might seem to be one of those fashion trends that seems more like parody, they actually have real appeal. An outgrowth of the baggy pants trend of the 1990s, puddle pants became a thing unto themselves a few years ago, in part because they have the very alluring effect of making you look both slouchy and casual and as if you have super-long legs at the same time (think of them as the cooler versions of bell-bottoms). Especially if paired with a smaller, more body-skimming top for balance. However, puddle pants do come with two major drawbacks, as you note: Because the hems are so long, they tend to get dirty, and sometimes they also end up getting stepped on, which means they shred faster than normal hems. What to do? I asked two of the women I most associate with the style, Virginia Smith, Vogue's global head of fashion network, and Hillary Taymour, the designer of Collina Strada, if they had any recommendations. Here's what they suggested. Virginia, who has made something of a personal signature out of puddle pants ('I blame my obsession on a pair of Balenciaga Le Dix by Nicolas Ghesquière trousers I stumbled on in Barney's about 25 years ago'), admitted there's really no avoiding the hem problem, since the proportions of the pants is the whole point. Still, she also noted that she generally wore her puddle pants 'just grazing the floor' (jeans, which she wears longer, are the exception). That means some pretty exact shoe-to-hem planning, but it does avoid the worst of the issue. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Strike over: Providence nurses ‘overwhelmingly' ratify deal
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The strike by nearly 5000 nurses at 8 Providence hospitals around the state of Oregon is over after the reached last Friday. The nurses voted overwhelmingly to ratify the deal and end the 46-day strike, the Oregon Nurses Association said in a release. The new contract is 'a major victory' for caregivers, Providence patients and the communities throughout Oregon, said nurse Virginia Smith, a leader on the ONA bargaining unit. 'As RNs, we believe that these contracts will lead to greater recruitment and retention of frontline nurses as wages become more aligned with other health systems, and we have staffing language that will allow us to spend more time with the patients that need the most care,' Smith said in a statement. Nurses will return to work beginning with the night shift at their specific hospital — — Providence St. Vincent, Providence Portland Medical Center, Providence Medford Medical Center, Providence Newberg, Providence Willamette Falls, Providence Milwaukie, Providence Hood River and Providence Seaside — on Wednesday night. The two days of voting on the deal began Saturday afternoon. Union officials released the tally shortly after voting concluded at 4 p.m. Monday. On Friday afternoon, the company announced that both parties' bargaining teams tentatively agreed on a contract after three days of 'intensive bargaining facilitated by federal mediators.' When the Oregon Nurses Association launched its walkout on , striking nurses claimed they were advocating for terms like smaller caseloads, increased paid time off and affordable health care. The labor organization reported nurses will see wage increases ranging from 20% to 42% throughout the span of the contract, and an immediate hike between 16% and 22%. ONA said the tentative agreement also includes 'penalty pay' for when nurses miss a break or meal, and new health benefits to ensure 'comprehensive courage' for staff. 'These hard-won agreements reflect the dedication and determination of ONA nurses who stood strong in their fight for fair treatment, safe working conditions and better healthcare for their communities,' ONA said in a initially reached a tentative deal with bargaining units in early February, but it was later . ONA said the offer failed to adequately address workers' grievances. The following week, Providence that they would no longer have access to health care if the strike continued through Feb. 28. 'Providence is hopeful that ONA-represented nurses will ratify the tentative agreements that pave a solid path forward for us all,' Providence Oregon CEO Jennifer Burrows said in a statement on Friday. 'Together, we look forward to continuing to provide excellent and compassionate care for our patients in these communities we serve.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
