STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Pants that Pop

July 3rd, 2015 at 2:10am

We all have a few trusty statement necklaces in our jewelry box and have probably purchased at least one bold, statement-making top, but did you ever think that your pants could be the big-ticket item making the statement? This summer, the hottest way to make everyone green with style envy is to rock a pair of standout pants.

For the summer season, you don’t want to be sporting skintight jeans or thick leather pants. That’s why the current red-hot silhouette is the wide leg. This must-have style is typically made of a very lightweight material that doesn’t lay too close to the skin; it allows your skin to breathe! It’s a pant that is work or internship appropriate, yet cool enough for you to wear while strutting through the city streets. There are endless ways to make a statement with these pants as they come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and textures. You can sport a bright, solid-colored pair or a thick stripe pattern like this Fashionista did. You can go for a more boho-inspired vibe or select a simple floral print. The possibilities really are seemingly endless and allow for you to incorporate your personal style.

This Fashionista styled her fashion-forward pants to perfection. Since they feature a lot of color and a wide-stripe pattern, she kept the rest of her look relatively simple so her bottoms could do all the talking. She slipped on an understated black tank top and grabbed a spacious rag & bone tote. For a subtle pop and bit of summertime flair, she wore metallic espadrilles, and to shield her eyes from the glaring sun, she added chic sunglasses.
