A quality pair of colored pants is essential for creating a striking look for both men and women. Remember the post we did with Derek a few months ago? Well, he wore a nice pair of orange chinos in our spring Street Style feature.
When we think of colored pants, we think of bright shades only. It is a custom belief that these bright colored pants were specifically created for warmer months. However, a nice pair of neutral colored pants can be worn during the fall as well. Furthermore, a pair of colored jeans, corduroys, or dress pants can be combined with a variety of shirts, sweaters, jackets, and sports coats to look more appealing during the colder months.
We decided to link up with a creative genius that goes by the name Luis. This twenty-four year old has a number of talents under his belt. He is the creator of Voices in Power, a spoken word artist, Emcee, an event coordinator, and bartender. With all of those career goals and aspirations, he still finds time to present his personality through his personal style. Let’s take a look at what Luis has to offer in his colored pants below.
As a resident of Philadelphia, PA, Luis is no stranger to cooler autumn months. When stepping out, why not throw on your favorite tailored blazer, vest, pants, and loafers to accommodate the transitional temperatures of the east coast.
The minor details in Luis’ attire are essential for fall. He states, “You shouldn’t be focused on anything specific. The minor details make the major difference.”
Luis is wearing an olive sport coat, with brown should patches. His navy button down was worn with a pink neck tie, with a brown tweed vest to match. For the lower half of his outfit, Luis is wearing a pair of orange pants, horizontally striped socks, and a pair of leather loafers. His entire outfit was purchased from Levis and ASOS.
An important factor in complimenting your colored pants depends on your current style knowledge. It is important to understand which specific colors, fabrics, and styles will look appropriate with your colored pants.
When it comes to outerwear, we often want to pair our colored pants with neutral colored peacoats or trench coats. For casual attire, combine sweatshirts, plaid shirts, or denim shirts with your pants. For a more upscale look, don’t be afraid to wear tweed and wool sport coats with your outfit.
It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out the versatility factor colored pants have to offer. Worn in any season with most fabrics and colors, we further strengthen the main argument of this post! If you own a pair of colored pants, you can wear them all year long. Now, that sounds like a cheap alternative, right?
