The Latest Pants Trend for Spring 2020

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.

A Must Have Pant

I recently traveled for a weekend away with my sister. When I fly I want to be comfortable. Airplanes are uncomfortable enough… you need to be dressed in the most comfortable items you have. Do you agree? Well, listen up! I have a review and recommendation you’ll want to hear!

Recently I took advantage of a Friends and Family sale at Athleta to try out a few new pants. Let me be clear… the Brooklyn Ankle Pant from Athleta is AMAZING. These pants are lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-free! They even have an elastic waist… and pockets! On top of all this, they are stylish and flattering. I wore them on the plane with a gray t-shirt and flip flops as pictured below. I was perfectly comfortable and they looked great.

These pants are definitely stylish enough I could wear them to work which also makes them amazingly versatile. Are you sold yet? You should be! Think weekend errands, mornings on the soccer field, afternoon football games, and whatever else your weekend throws at you! These are the pants you want to get you through the day!

Comfortable, flattering and easy to care for… what more could you want?!! I need every little thing that will make my life easier. Which makes these pants an absolute MUST HAVE!

Make your life a little easier ladies….. getting shopping!

Time for a Pant Refresh

Updated pant trends are coming in hot for spring! We’ve seen the introduction of wide leg and high rise pants over the last several seasons but this spring they are front and center like never before. There are a number of variations in colors, prints and styles that you are sure to find something you love.

I’ve noticed an emphasis on pants in stores lately. The simple classic chino style we see every spring is still there. But this time it’s not front and center. The focus is on bold bright colors and prints, high rise silhouettes, wide legs, joggers, and just about any twist on the classic pant. If this type of item isn’t already in your wardrobe, now is great time to think about adding a new pant to your closet.

Here a few tips when purchasing stylish pants. If you’re petite and choose a wide leg pant, keep the print small. When wearing a wide leg pant, keep your top fitted. It tends to be more flattering when only one article of clothing is oversized. A high rise won’t be flattering on everyone. The length of your torso will come into play here, so be sure to try these pants on before purchasing as all styles won’t fit the same. Cropped pants will work well on just about everyone but especially great on petites as they give the illusion of making us look taller (especially when paired with a heel).

A numbers of styles and varieties of pants are available at any of your favorite shops right now! I found a number of different options at Anthropologie that I loved and have included a few highlights to give you some ideas. Start thinking of ways to spruce up your spring wardrobe with a focus on your pants!
