Reasons you should wear 3/4 pants, though you don’t know it yet.

1. They are perfect for Brisbane in summer. That little bit of extra breeze around the shins makes all the difference.

2. They cross a perfect divide between casual and office-acceptable. Dress them up and no one is going to complain. Meanwhile you’re showing off a wee bit of a leg plus keeping Brisbane-weather appropriate (see point 1)

3. Audrey Hepburn thought they were stylish, ergo they are.

4. They're called pedal pushers. How cute is that?

5. I've been wearing them for 10 years and I want them to become trendy so for the first time in my life I will be ahead; a trend-setter, if you will.
