They’re part of the athleisure trend that everyone wears, but really, that’s what makes them so versatile. I’ll soon be travelling long-haul on a plane, and these side stripe pants are the perfect pants for this scenario. I still like to look stylish while travelling, but comfort is the most important factor in any choice I make, and these side stripe pants fit the bill perfectly. While I’ll be sitting for many hours, and of course, I’ll be able to wear them at my destination too, styled simply with a T-shirt and sneakers. The elastic waist makes them the perfect travel companion, who needs a bulky zipper or stiff fabrications when sitting for so long? Comfort and style are key, and these pants are perfect for this.

Anyone who has met me at one of my Caroline Eve stylist shows knows how vertically challenged I am, so these pants have the added bonus of a leg-lengthening effect. Honestly, regardless of age, these pants are a youthful addition to any of our wardrobes, and you can style them with so much you may already own. I love how we dress these days. I can wear these pants with a jersey and maybe a little front tuck, or a simple classic T-shirt with an open blazer, or even an open long coat with sneakers. You can see how versatile these pants really are.

We have a few styles in our stores, and my favourite would have to be the wide-leg style, which comes in either brown or black. Brown is a very new trend colour this season, and I am loving it. These feature a wide leg for a relaxed

silhouette, an elastic pull-on waist (we like that!), with an ivory contrast side stripe for a sporty, modern touch. Just perfect for casual or just lounging around at home - stylishly done, of course! Sizes S- XXL, $79.99.

We also have another style in a Ponti fabric, which is not wide leg. This is a straight-leg style and comes in either black or navy with a white single stripe. The soft stretch Ponti is very comfortable with great shape retention, and it again features a flat-front elastic waistband for, you guessed it, comfort. These pants are ideal for every day, available in sizes 10–20, and again $79.99.
