A side stripe brings direction to a wide silhouette, but the styling around it decides whether the result feels sporty, tailored or somewhere deliciously in between.

Purples & Yellows Erica Side-Stripe Wide-Leg Pants

Rich aubergine is the smartest colour in this trio. An ivory mock neck mirrors the stripe, while burgundy loafers keep the finish tonal and grown-up. The full-length wide leg suits a creative office or lunch meeting without pretending to be a traditional suit.

Blues & Teals Erica Side-Stripe Wide-Leg Pants

Slate blue feels calm and modern, particularly with a matching cardigan. Grey pointed shoes sharpen the lower edge without introducing another colour family. It is an easy answer for a studio day when comfort matters but a proper outfit still feels nice.

Green Erica High-Waisted Side-Stripe Wide-Leg Pleated Pants

Deep teal leans naturally into weekend dressing. The oat-and-ivory top repeats the stripe and softens the stronger green, while cream trainers keep the look relaxed. Not sloppy, not trying too hard—just right.

One stripe, three different diaries. The shoe is what tells everyone where you are going.
