The 6 Pants You Need And How To Style Them

Our clients often ask us about wardrobe staples… What pieces do I need to have in my closet? And how do I style them? And the category that comes up most often is pants. Not only what types of pants qualify as closet essentials… But also how to style those particular pant styles. Today, our stylists are answering one of the most asked questions we get. Let’s take a look at the 6 pants you need and how to style them!
Katie | Vintage Wash Denim
Wide-leg jeans are having a major moment, and a vintage wash makes them feel effortlessly classic. They’re a must-have because they pair just as easily with structured pieces as they do with casual staples. For this look, I went for a chic, capsule-inspired vibe by styling vintage-wash wide-leg jeans with an oversized black v-neck sweater. A sleek black leather Mary Jane flat keeps it polished yet relaxed… And a go-to black tote and cool black sunglasses add the perfect finishing touch. Simple, timeless, and so easy to wear!

Dana | Barrel Leg Jeans
Spring/summer is a great time to try out the barrel leg jean trend. I love the light wash on this particular pair. The raw hem is an added bonus because you can cut them to your desired length.

Cords are a great way to go business casual in the workplace without doing denim – they can be a step up from jeans when styled correctly. And they can also be the perfect throw on for running errands on the weekend on a cold winter day – a great way to look stylish while staying warm. I’ve styled these bootcut cords with a chic flat and a sweater… But you can easily throw on a blazer and a bootie with a heel to elevate the look.

Dana | Utility Pants
Utility pants can be dressed up or down. Pair with a tee and tech jacket for an effortlessly cool daytime look. Finish off the look with a pair of ballet flats and slouchy bag in a neutral color to tie it all together.

Katie | Brown Tailored Trousers
A great pair of trousers is a closet essential, and chocolate brown is the perfect versatile shade. While they’re polished enough for the office… I love how easily they can be dressed down with sneakers and more relaxed pieces for everyday wear. For a cool, effortless look, I styled these pleated brown trousers with an oversized white button-down and maroon sneakers. A brown suede belt pulls it all together, while a tan sweater draped over the shoulders adds that extra layer of style. Finishing touches? A brown suede tote and chic sunglasses for an elevated yet casual vibe.

Katey | Winter Whites
And to round out the 6 pants you need and how to style them: the winter white pant. The key to wearing winter white pants is to pair them with warm, neutral colors. Y’all know I love a monochromatic or tone-on-tone look. And that especially is the case here with rich camels and ivories. They’re a great pant to pull out for a holiday party, but also a refreshing way to brighten your look from the dull black and navy pants you’ve been wearing to the office all winter long.
