Wide leg patterned pants seem to be all the rage here in the South.  I was against them at first.  I found if the right pattern hits the wrong places they can be very unflattering!  My advice on a trend like this, unless you are what your friends may consider a “toothpick,” shop small patterns.  Smaller patterns do not draw the eye so much and can actually distract from areas a large bold pattern may emphasize.  I love the subtle mixing of patterns in this outfit.  Even though the sweater is a solid color it has a woven triangle pattern that contrasts with the circles and squares on my pants.  This season, don’t fall into a pattern of wearing the same outfits over and over, fall in love with patterns you can mix and match.
