CROP TOP: (c/o) Ripley Rader/PANTS: (c/o) Ripley Rader/SCARF: Hermès

Writing today’s post from Miami Beach! I’m currently staying at the AC Hotel and loving every minute of it. From the beach to the weather to the food, my time in Miami has been fabulous. But more on that next week!

You know me. I can’t resist wide legged pants. Which brings me to today’s look…

From Ripley Rader, a Los Angeles based brand that focuses on stylish simplicity, blending the classic with the eclectic. Their clothing is 100% American-made. They have a dedicated following of influencers and celebrities like, Amy Schumer, Gigi Hadid, Felicity Huffman and Kate Upton!

Guys, these pants are literally the perfect pants. (Apparently Ripley Rader can’t keep them in stock!). They’re structured yet comfortable enough to wear all day. They don’t wrinkle (hallelujah!) and have the most perfect exaggerated wide leg.

The size 1 pants fit my petite frame perfectly around the waist (I’m 5’2) but they were too long so I got them hemmed.

If height is not an issue for you (unlike me), you can wear these pants with sandals. Otherwise, I suggest heels, heeled sandals or wedges. It’s all about balance and proper proportions!

My top looks like it’s made out of wool, but it’s actually made out of a ponte knit fabric (perfect for fall). Again, it doesn’t wrinkle! And looks great on. I’m wearing a size 1.

Together, the pants and top are so sophisticated and classic. But you could easily throw on a gold statement necklace over the crop top to add drama or replace the crop top for a silk blouse and wear it to the office. (You’ll be so comfortable…)

All in all, I’m a big fan!

Share your thoughts on this look or the wide legged trend below! Have a great rest of your week!

Xo, Stephanie

P.S. I’m headed to Lisbon, Portugal the last week of August! If you’ve been, please share your recommendations on what to do and where to go! I’m so excited!
