STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Wear Pants for Elephants

September 15th, 2015 at 2:00am

We all have a soft spot for animals. Whether it’s your playful puppy, flappy seals or those big friendly gray giants we call elephants, we all have a soft spot. The latest wave of fashion has been heavily influenced by bohemian styles. Specifically, the loose, comfortable and stylish elephant pants. After making their universal appearance in late 2014, it has been dominating the trending scene since. Available in all sorts of colors, patterns, and styles, these rad pants are taking over and can suite any style!

I’ve always been captivated by elephants. When I had the opportunity of living in Thailand, I got to learn more about these friendly giants and was even able to visit the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai; needless to say, I immediately fell in love.

Locally made elephant pants had always been a resounding purchase with foreign tourists in Thailand. However, two tourists decided to take these pants a step further. Now, not only are they super adorable but by ordering a pair of Elephant Pants or anything from The Elephant Pants website, you are automatically donating one or two dollars from every item they sell to the African Wildlife Foundation. This also supports the Say No Campaign, which is a public awareness campaign aimed at stopping the demand for illegal wildlife products. Who wouldn’t want to flaunt the latest trends for a good cause? Oh! Did I mention they are unisex, too?

This Fashionista’s bohemian-inspired look, features a simple olive tank top that balances her patterned elephant pants. The pants are the main element, the eye catcher in this outfit, and do all the talking. She accessorized this look with a unique silver cuff bracelet and a pair of dangling fringe earrings. To complete the look, she chose to wear equally trending, black Birkenstock slide sandals. I adore the earthy color scheme of this outfit; the olive-green tones blended with the rustic orange and striking turquoise complements each other. Simplicity clearly does more in this Fashionista’s outfit.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I love comfy pants, especially when they are so versatile. I can dress them up or down depending on the day and still feel chic.”
