spring essentials series part 3: pants

i can honestly say that pants are the easiest topic for spring fashion, beside accessories.

try to get away from the dark-colored jeans!! for the most parts, stay clear of the blacks, grays, and navys. remember, spring is all about color and you can even show it in your pants.



if you just have to throw on a pair of skinnies when you go out, go with white or even light blue instead of the darker colors. white adds a suttleness to your outfit, and if you're wearing a colorful shirt (like we talked about!), it balances it out.






hands down, khakis are my favorite pants for the spring. they add a classic look to your outfit, and they can go with almost anything. whether cardigans, plaid shirts, or dress shirts. the kinds to the right are good because they give you the color that you want, but they don't look so formal, like slacks/trousers. rolling them up, letting your ankles show, and wearing ankle or no socks at all is a hot look!






don't get me wrong-the formal look is classy too. if you want to match it up with a dress shirt, a bowtie, khaki slacks, and some colored chuck taylor's for fun, you can still get a memorable look. if you do go for this look, just make sure that your pants aren't too baggy, or you'll just look like a churchboy-wannabe-thug...LOL. if they're a little short, stopping right before or at your ankles, it looks much better.
