A wide-leg trouser cut in a bold stripe does exactly what you need it to do which is make a statement without requiring anything else to do the work. The stripe pattern reads as intentional dressing. The wide leg gives you shape and movement without requiring you to think about how they sit on your frame. These are the trousers that work over everything from a simple white shirt to a knit to a blazer. The colour in the stripe carries the outfit forward. A good striped wide-leg trouser anchors an entire look because the proportions and the pattern work together to create something that stands on its own.
