"    Toteme Toulon Pants, $400;   net-a-porter.com  When it comes to covetable wardrobe items, we editors tend to appreciate flattering tailoring, classic silhouettes, and unexpected details. So when we get all three of these elements at once? Well, that&amp;#039;s what we refer to as a fashion &amp;quot;unicorn&amp;quot;\u2014and you better believe such a garment will make its way into our closets, stat. Black dress pants seem as straightforward as it gets, but not these. The trousers of our latest affection have a figure-defining high waist, and the slightest of movement reveals a side-slit\u2014and subsequently, a whole lotta leg. Who&amp;#039;s the mastermind behind this magical feat in design? That would be none other than street style fixture and blogger Elin Kling. We tend to be wary of certain creative ventures from bloggers and celebrities alike, but Kling&amp;#039;s new clothing line, Toteme, speaks for itself\u2014and in a word, it says, &amp;quot;Chiiic.&amp;quot; Justine was the editor who blessedly introduced the trousers to our discerning team. &amp;quot;When I first saw these pants online, I knew they were exactly what I was missing,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;A fun update on the silk trouser with a nipped-in waist? Count me in.&amp;quot; And when Justine donned her new purchase to the office, Ruthie immediately took note. &amp;quot;When I walked into work a few weeks ago, I saw the chicness of Justine&amp;#039;s pants from a mile away, and I knew I needed them. Within 10 minutes, my Net-A-Porter shopping cart was full, and I was headed to the checkout.&amp;quot; (Frequent #ELLEloves readers don&amp;#039;t need reminding that this kind of see-colleague-and-buy scenario is common in our office.) When Ruthie&amp;#039;s order arrived, she was not disappointed. &amp;quot;I love that the pants are comfortable, but present themselves as dressy. I wear mine with my white Birkenstocks as frequently as I do with a pair of green snakeskin Manolo heels. And the super high slit adds the perfect sexy touch.&amp;quot; Justine concurs, and then some: &amp;quot;What I didn&amp;#039;t realize is how versatile they&amp;#039;d be\u2014they are super casual with a flat, and then nearly transform with a heel, thanks to a slit that, when engaged, opens up to reveal practically the entire side leg. It&amp;#039;s a real achievement in modern design if you ask me. Elin Kling: thank you.&amp;quot; You heard it here first: Side leg is the new side boob. (And it&amp;#039;s definitely more office-appropriate than the side butt.)
