Styling Stripes

I’ve been wanting to expand my collection of trousers and I thought adding some staple pieces would be the easiest way to begin.

Jeans are so versatile and I can style them easily, but I feel like I can’t do the same when it comes to trousers. I bought this striped black and white pair as well as, a black velvet pair. I thought I’d start off simple before I start buying outrageous colours and prints! I saw this really pretty paper bag style burnt orange one from Stradivarius. It’s next on my list!

I wanted new pieces that I could incorporate into my current wardrobe. I have this really bad habit of wearing things once. Now, I try styling clothes according to my wardrobe before I buy them. If I can only think of one outfit, without the need of buying more clothes, then I don’t buy it.

I think these trousers would look cute with a denim jacket and trainers, for a casual look. Another outfit could be an oversized white jumper, tucked in, with red lace-up heels.

I have also been trying different styles of earrings and not just studs like I usually wear.  I really like this pair because it’s simple but it will look great with so many outfits.

How do you guys style your favourite trousers?
