We’re starting to see all kinds of trends emerge for Spring 2020. Here in the Northeast the weather has been on the warmer side and instead of living in snow pants and parkas, we can actually start wearing some of these trends now. One trend that I actually jumped on as it began to emerge last year is the side stipe.

Pants are incorporating additional detail this season in the form of a side stripe. This detail is showing up in all different kinds of pants from trousers to cargo and even sweatpants. The side stripe can vary from thick to pencil thin, in any number of colors or even patterns! The options are endless. For me, the beauty of this trend is in its simplicity. Rather than a fabric pattern that can be overwhelming to the eye, a side stripe doesn’t steal the attention from your overall outfit. These pants are also very easy to coordinate which makes them versatile in your wardrobe.

The popularity of this side trend makes them currently available at most of your favorite retailers. Find the fit and color that flatters you and your overall wardrobe. This latest trend is a simple and easy way to begin updating your wardrobe for spring fashion. If you need a little inspiration to get started, see a few of my picks below.
