Friday Night Out
Who says you need to wear mini dresses and skirts for a fun night out? Here, we’ve paired Hyein Seo’s Shell Pants with Poster Girls’ metal-mesh top and Salomon’s XT-Quest 2 Advanced sneakers. Throw on some jewelry, pack everything you need in your Venczel handbag and you’re ready to go.
Beachwear
This outfit will have you both street and beach-ready, with Stussy’s Raphie Big Crinkle Pant worn with Jean Paul Gaultier’s lace-up swimsuit. Layer with a short-sleeved shirt and finish off the look with a lightweight bucket hat and technical shoes, like A-COLD-WALL* x Converse’s Sponge Crater.
Keeping It Colorful
While the majority of parachute pants on the market are neutral-toned, there are also colorful options to add to your wardrobe. For this fit, we’ve paired a lilac pair with a matching top from Courrèges. Balance out the colors with Acne Studios’ Bolzter sneaker and Marshall Columbia’s mini crossbody bag in black.
