First, a little shopping PSA: Alice Walk is running a warehouse sale! Highlights include the best cashmere cardigan ever in a punchy coral hue (or more versatile black or olive green); dreamy gauze pants in a chic sage color (I wish they hadn’t discontinued these!!! they are divine and run TTS); a fabulously soft and plush weekender sweater (ultra cozy! — would also make a great gift for a sis/daughter…buy now and set aside for Christmas); and THE most luxe half-zip you’ll ever own. I’ve bought the latter for both my mom and MIL!
Also: a few late-stage Nordstrom sale finds: this Faherty dress (which was very popular at full price among Magpies!), these insanely chic, Hermes-esque Margaux sandals, and this Rails sweater! All my sale picks here.
Now, onto pants —
Loving a statement pant at the moment, and Donni has been leading the pack with fun options this summer, starting with (of course) their viral taffeta pants, which they recently restocked in most sizes in several ginghams. Use code MALLORY10 for 10% off sitewide. I just used the code to snag a pair of their just-launched gingham striped crops! Will look so cute with this oversized button-down.
I also just got my paws on a pair of the Mirth pants in this cool metallic brown color, which I wrote about a week or two ago and predicted will be another mainstay among the chic peas as we head into cooler weather.
A few other pairs of fab statement pants to consider:
BARREL LEG PANTS // DONNI TAFFETA PANTS // CARGO PANTS
01. These crop linen trousers. These have a cult following!
02. The Donni pants that took us by storm.
03. Can’t wait to style these Mirths when I return from London. Love the idea of it with a slim fit tank and a straw tote.
04. Citizens cargo pants (these are a GREAT alt for petites — they aren’t marketed for petites but the fit is perfect!)
05. These are an elegant trouser to style up or down for work or more casual wear (imagine the “wrong shoe theory” here — pair with a flat sneaker). These come in petite too!
06. Negroni utility pant. Seriously fun color. LOVE to play with color. This shade would be fun with mint green or taupe.
07. Intrigued by these “travel pants” — “combines our made-for-travel OrigamiTech fabric with a stylish, wide leg to create a pant that’s effortlessly chic.” Swoon! Also been realizing on this trip that I wish I’d brought more cropped silhouettes and this fits the bill. (Having to hold up my skirt hem while walking all over London…not the most practical. But at least I like my outfit – lol.)
08. Our favorite La Ligne pants in a new barrel silhouette! Use code MAGPIE10.
09. Drawn to the cinching at the ankle of this utilitarian-inspired pair from ultra-chic Nili Lotan. I know many Magpies are big devotees of this brand! N.B.: I find most of the pants work better on taller magpies.
10. Softly structured linen pants.
11. I can’t stop thinking about these linen barrel legs — nearly sold out, FYI. So chic. Use code JEN15.
12. An easy drawstring-waist wide leg silhouette. I love the idea of pairing these with a navy blazer.
13. Ultra-flattering side stripe track pants. So cool and different.
14. High-waisted, tailored cotton trousers.
15. An uber-soft (sweatpant-level) pair of trousers than can be styled up or down.
16. Unique balloon silhouette on these. Currently on sale! Have been trending among Magpies!
