The Only Pants I'm Buying For Spring Have This One Specific Feature
While I don't tend to switch up my staples or style often, every once in a while I do get hyperfixated on a highly specific micro-trend or detail, and it slowly-but-surely takes over a portion or category of my wardrobe. Such is the case with drawstring pants at the moment—and I swear it's not just because I'm pregnant! It started before, when I became obsessed with Donni's cargos (which I now own in three iterations) and kind of snowballed from there with no signs of slowing down this spring and summer. I mean, can you blame me? They're relaxed but polished, chic but comfy, and the little tie detail just gives every outfit an air of coolness it would otherwise lack.
Of course, I clearly can't be the only one who's utterly obsessed because all our favorite brands have taken notice of the demand and the options are abundant as ever. To see all the pairs I either own or have on my wish list, simply keep scrolling.
