Wearing striped pants can be intimidating, though. It can be hard to figure out which top to pair them with and which shoes to opt for, because these pants are loud, bold, and statement making. What do you wear with a piece like that? Well, a lot, actually. If you’re looking for some inspiration, we’ve got a ton of it. Below are outfit ideas on how to wear striped pants taken from bloggers and super trendy Instagram users alike. You’ll quickly want a pair, and I’m betting they’ll become your most loved summer go-to.
1. Black and white striped pants are probably the most popular option, and also the most versatile. Keep them simple by wearing them with sneakers and a solid colored tee.
2. For an easy summer outfit that looks good and feels comfortable, pair wide leg striped pants with a tank top and a pair of heeled sandals.
3. Cropped striped trousers look casual and fun with a crop top and a pair of mules or sandals.
4. Match the color of your tee to the colors of one of the stripes for a cohesive look. Throw in a bright colored accessory for a pop of color.
5. Striped culottes are a perfect summer piece. Keep them casual by wearing them with a graphic tee and flat sandals.
6. Although black or blue striped pants are the most popular options, you can still go bright! Pick one of the colors in a pair like these and make that the color of your top for a colorful look.
7. A bold graphic tee and a pair of flats look funky and unique with a pair of skinny striped pants. The key to keeping it from looking jumbled is to stay in the same shades.
8. This tip works for solid colored tops too – stay in the same color family for a chic looking outfit, like this tan/beige one.
9. Mix two big trends together for an Instagram worthy outfit: off the shoulder top and striped pants.
10. Add a blazer over your tee to make the pants look a little more professional.
11. Don’t be afraid to get super colorful striped pants! These look great with all black items that don’t take away from them.

13. Instead of sandals or heels, mix it up and wear a pair of Oxford shoes or loafers – keep the colors the same so they don’t clash.
14. If you want something a little more subtle, pick dark striped pants that aren’t quite as bold.
