You know that piece in your closet that looks cool but rarely gets worn? If it’s your striped pants, we’re changing that today.
Striped bottoms are secretly the key to an outfit that looks like you tried, even if you only spent five minutes getting ready.
I’ve compiled 20 amazing, no-fuss outfit ideas, ranging from super laid-back to just sharp enough for the office. Seriously, these looks are game-changers for casual styling!
1. Cropped T-Shirt and Sneakers
For a super simple everyday look, wear a cropped t-shirt with your striped pants and white sneakers. This outfit is perfect for running errands or grabbing coffee with friends.
Make sure to tuck the front of your shirt in if you want to create better proportions.
2. Long-Sleeve Blouse and Two-Tone Flats
We’re going for a more polished vibe with this one. Pair a long-sleeve blouse with striped trousers and two-tone flats for an outfit that works great for the office or lunch dates.
The two-tone flats add an interesting detail without being too much.
3. Oversized Knit Sweater and Leather Sandals
This outfit is all about comfort but still looking chic. An oversized knit sweater looks amazing with striped wide-leg pants, especially when you add leather sandals.
Tuck just the front part of your sweater into the pants to avoid looking overwhelmed by fabric.
4. Graphic T-Shirt and Wedge Sandals
For a fun summer outfit, try wearing a graphic t-shirt with striped wide-leg culottes and wedge sandals. The wedges give you some height which is perfect if you’re petite, and the graphic tee keeps things casual and cool.
5. Black Structured Blazer and Minimal Sandals
Want to look instantly put-together? Throw on a black structured blazer over a simple white top with white pinstriped pants and minimal sandals. This combination looks so expensive and professional without trying too hard.
6. Lace-Up Crop Top and Platform Sandals
This is definitely a going-out outfit! A lace-up crop top with striped pants and platform sandals creates such a fun party look. The platforms add height and the lace-up detail on the top makes everything more interesting.
7. Cropped Button-Up and Ballet Flats
For a preppy casual look, wear a cropped button-up shirt with striped pants and ballet flats. You can leave the bottom buttons of the shirt undone for a more relaxed feel. Add a simple necklace to finish off the outfit.
8. Fitted Top and Cropped Denim Jacket
Layer a cropped denim jacket over a fitted top with striped wide-leg pants. This combination of denim and stripes works so well together and creates an effortlessly cool vibe that’s perfect for weekend outings.
9. Leather Moto Jacket and Sneakers
For an edgier look, pair a leather moto jacket with striped wide-leg pants and white sneakers. The contrast between the tough leather jacket and the preppy striped pants creates such an interesting mix of styles.
10. Cropped Top and Oversized Blazer
We have a cropped top underneath an oversized blazer with striped pants and sneakers. This is one of those outfits that looks way more complicated than it actually is to put together. The oversized blazer makes everything look more expensive.
11. Textured Button-Up Cardigan and Fitted Top
A textured button-up cardigan worn over a fitted basic top with striped wide-leg pants creates such a cozy yet polished outfit. This is perfect for those days when you want to be comfortable but still look like you made an effort.
12. White Ribbed Crop Top and Sneakers
Keep it super minimal with a white ribbed crop top, striped wide-leg pants, and clean white sneakers. Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best ones, and this combination proves that point perfectly.
13. White Shirt and Navy Sweater
For a preppy nautical vibe, wear a white shirt with blue-white striped pants and tie a navy sweater around your shoulders. This outfit screams yacht club in the best way possible and looks so polished.
14. Structured Blazer and Striped Top
Double up on stripes by wearing a structured blazer over a striped top with striped wide-leg pants. Yes, you can mix stripes! Just make sure one stripe is smaller than the other to avoid clashing.
15. Knit Cardigan and Sneakers
A cozy knit cardigan over a basic t-shirt with striped wide-leg pants and sneakers is the ultimate casual weekend outfit. This is what you wear when you want to be comfortable but not look like you just rolled out of bed.
16. Oversized Shirt Jacket
An oversized shirt jacket worn over a simple t-shirt with a striped wide-leg skirt creates an interesting mix of masculine and feminine elements. The oversized jacket balances out the flowy skirt perfectly.
17. Off-Shoulder Fitted Top and Platform Sandals
Show some skin with an off-shoulder fitted top paired with striped pants and platform sandals. This outfit is perfect for date night or dinner with friends when you want to look a bit more dressed up.
18. Fitted Tank Top and Heeled Sandals
A simple fitted tank top with striped pants and heeled sandals is such a classic summer outfit. The heeled sandals dress up the whole look and make your legs look longer, which is always a bonus.
19. Ruffle-Front Blouse and Sneakers
For a feminine twist, wear a ruffle-front blouse with striped wide-leg pants and white sneakers. The ruffles add such a pretty detail while the sneakers keep everything from looking too formal.
20. Denim Button-Up and Platform Sandals
Finally, we’re finishing with a denim button-up shirt paired with striped wide-leg pants and platform sandals.
The denim and stripes combination is unexpected but works so well together. Leave a few buttons undone at the bottom for a more relaxed look.
