Side Stripe

These skinny jeans by Siwy Mich are a nice mix of stretch denim and leather and would look fantastic with a contrasting oversized cozy sweater.
Sheer
During SS11, the hottest thing you could wear was a floor length billowy skirts, so it is just part of the natural progression that someone would think to try that look on pants. This is probably not a look you want to go for if you have to spend a considerable amount of time outdoors in the cold, however it would make an absolutely chic evening outfit as an alternative to a dress or skirt.

And with all the bright colours and florals that are in style this fall, it will be easy to adapt your summer wardrobe to fit this fall trend. A pair like these by Tibi would look great with a blazer for work and a simple blouse for an evening look.
