Bloomers are otherwise known as women's trousers. They were invented by an American woman named Mrs. Bloomer in the mid-19th century. However she was greeted by failure upon their launch in France and England. Towards the end of the 19th century they became known again when they were fashioned from the same material to match little girls' dresses. The trend of underwear worn as outwear saw bloomers emerge into everyday style; seen above at the Miu Miu spring 2008 show. Paired with tights, mary jane pumps and a blouse or sweater the bloomer has transitioned into a mainstream and acceptable concept of dressing.
