If you’re asking yourself what's the difference between the sporty stripe and the tuxedo stripe, think of it this way: the latter is menswear-inspired and takes cues from formal attire rather than the soccer field. Easier to wear than the season’s printed jeans, tuxedo-stripe pants offer a simple way to update your everyday mix. Even better, the trend translates seamlessly for the office (with tailored trouser versions a la Miranda Kerr) and the weekend (with casual denim styles as seen on Cara Delevingne), giving you plenty of ways to wear the look.
On The Runway
While Reed Krakoff served up a large helping of athletic-inspired silhouettes at his S/S 13 show, the collection’s khaki side-striped Slim Trousers ($850) read more black-tie than sport, thanks to their sleekly tailored cut.
On The Streets
WHO: Olivia Palermo
WHAT: Photographed out in London last year.
WEAR: Esprit sweater; Current/Elliott The Rider Colorblock Denim Leggings ($153); Mulberry Alexa Bag ($1650, available here in Biscuit Brown Flower Gecko Jacquard).
WHY: Palermo is proof this isn’t a neutrals-only trend. In on-point burgundy and black, tuxedo-stripe jeans take on a modern look.
