Heya, friend! Super quick post today because Thursday is my looooooong day at work. Anywho, I wore this OOTD earlier this week when it was sunny, and it’s my new favorite fit.
It took me a while to figure out how to style these plaid Madewell Harlowe wide-leg pants (I wore them on my first day); what a difference tucking in your shirt makes!
The red Chucks are also key here too, I think. The chunky sole balances the wide pant leg nicely.
Two things I like about this outfit. I like how the sweater with the lip print (I got it last year from Antrhopologie) contrasts with the plaid, yet they still work well together. I wasn’t sure at first, but then I tried everything on and liked it! You just never know until you try, so if you have mixed prints that you think might work, just go for it.
Second thing — I also like the pops of red in the sweater, the t-shirt (from Clare V.) and the red Chucks.
By the way, the pants are the same cut as the navy blue ones I wore last week. The fabric is slightly heavier, which I think helps with the volume and the drape of the pants.
Have you tried wide-leg pants yet? What do you think of the trend?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Cute outfit. I like the idea of wide leg pants, they just can’t be too wide on my figure. The Madewell Harlow’s are just too wide for my body type. I guess the ones that work the best for me are a relaxed straight leg.
Love the plants on the right side of the stairs. Succulents?
Love the pattern mixing! I think wide leg pants are really chic. I’ve gotten back into them. Of course when I regularly wore them in the mid aughts I was wearing heels and platforms which I have since retired. So my biggest challenge is what shoes to wear with them!
