Nicole Richie's Anti-Trend Pants Look Good With Sandals, Boots, Flats, *and* Sneakers
Nicole Richie, one of Who What Wear's earliest style muses, proves once again that she can take any trend and make it her own. Recently, the reigning queen of bohemian chic was spotted wearing a pair of brown, wide-leg pinstripe pants with a matching tank and oversize necklace. It's part business, part boho, and totally on point for a new era.
The beauty of this look is its quiet confidence. The brown hue is a refreshing departure from the usual black or navy, and it pairs perfectly with her effortless, casual jacket. While some might shy away from the officelike nature of pinstripes, she embraces them with a relaxed style that gives the trousers a modern, fluid feel. The combination is a masterclass in understated elegance. If you like Richie's look as much as we do, keep scrolling to shop pairs of similar pinstripe pants to wear during this transitional time between summer and fall. And don't forget to add some jewelry!
