Striped Pants: How to Choose and Style Them

Striped pants are the easiest way to add colour to a summer wardrobe, and wide-leg poplin versions look polished rather than casual. Simon Miller makes them in bold multi stripes and classic black and white. Shop striped pants in the Simon Miller collection at Coveti and our wide-leg pants edit.

How to wear striped pants

Pick one colour from the stripe and wear it on top. A black tank with black and white stripes, a white shirt with blue stripes. The matching set approach, Loch shirt and Pia pant in the same stripe, looks deliberate and polished. Avoid mixing two different stripes unless they share a colour.

Vertical stripes and proportion

Vertical stripes lengthen the leg, and a wide leg cut that skims the floor makes the most of that. Wear them with a platform sandal so the hem just clears the ground.

Striped pants by occasion

Stripe widths

Thin stripes read as a texture from a distance and are the easiest to wear to the office. Medium stripes, like the Pia in cobalt, are the classic summer choice. Wide multi colour stripes are a statement, so keep the top plain and the accessories simple. The wider the stripe, the more casual the pant feels, so choose thin stripes for work and wide stripes for the beach and the weekend.

Sizing

The Pia is made in US sizes 0 to 14 and shown in UK sizes on Coveti, where a US 4 is a UK 8. The brand marks it true to size. See our Simon Miller size guide.
