When it comes to packing for travel, versatility is key! I recently discovered the perfect piece to build multiple outfits around—my green cropped raw edge pants. They’re not only stylish but can be dressed up or down for various occasions. Let me show you how I styled them in 7 different ways.
I started with a classic black and white striped short-sleeved top. This pairing is effortlessly chic and comfortable, especially when you add a pair of white sneakers. It’s perfect for a day of exploring without sacrificing style.
To transition from day to evening or cooler weather, I layered on a creamy white hooded jacket that I picked up from Old Navy a while ago.
This cotton jacket is a dream—soft, comfy, and with adjustable sleeves that can be worn loose or cinched up. The snaps and zipper create a flattering long line, especially for those of us who are short-waisted.
I completed the look with my go-to brown leather crossbody bag, making this outfit ideal for all-day wear while traveling.
Next, I swapped the lightweight jacket for a classic jean jacket. I love how the mix of stripes and denim gives off a cool, casual vibe.I love stripes as long as they are skinny. I have styled a similar striped top 5 ways here.
For this look, I switched out the leather crossbody for a fun straw bag with a leather strap. This combination is great for adding texture and interest to the outfit.
For a more streamlined look, I paired the green pants with a super soft black t-shirt. Black is always my go-to for a slimming effect, especially to balance out my broad shoulders.
I swapped the white sneakers for black sandals with gold buckles—comfy and stylish with a wide wedge sole that’s perfect for walking. I have tried to find these exact sandals but to no avail. Here is a flat pair of black sandals with gold buckles.
Topped with the creamy white jacket and a pair of chic sunglasses, this outfit is perfect for a day of sightseeing in Italy during early spring or fall.
I switched back to the jean jacket for this outfit, keeping the black t-shirt and sandals.
The combination of black, denim, and green is timeless. I brought back the brown leather crossbody bag for a touch of warmth, making this look both stylish and practical.
For something a little different, I paired my green pants with a green and blue print blouse. My sister bought this from Jcrew factory last year for Christmas for me and I love it! You can see how i styled it here.
The colors blend beautifully, creating a cohesive look. I kept it casual with white Flojos flip-flops and my trusty straw bag. This is an easy, breezy outfit perfect for a laid-back day.
As the evening cools down, I could drape my jean jacket over my shoulders for an effortlessly chic look. This combination is perfect for a relaxed yet stylish dinner out.
And there you have it—7 different outfits using one pair of green cropped raw edge pants, two tops, two jackets, two pairs of shoes and 1 pair of flip flops.
Making your clothes work harder, especially while traveling, is essential. Let me know which outfit is your favorite in the comments!
