Lately, I've been big on baggy pants. Whether it's a pair of cargos or roomy, slouchy denim, you can be sure I'm searching for styling inspiration. Cue Paris Fashion Week street style, just when I need it most. I spotted these leather trousers, which go so ridiculously well with a lightweight, open-back top, I might get up and go shopping. Because here's the thing: I need to be wearing this outfit now.
Complete with open-toe mules and a minibag, it's perfect for weekend date night, and don't even get me started on all the ways I'd rewear these slacks — with a logo hoodie and sneakers for brunch or, I don't know, grocery shopping? Or with a pajama shirt in bed because I'm so ridiculously obsessed with them, I might never take them off. I put together a list of ways to get the look for all different budgets, so feel free to make this combination your new go-to.
