It is almost officially fall! Despite the close proximity of the fall season’s start date, the weather here in the Bay Area has been heating up like crazy! I wore these fall wide leg pants last weekend when temperatures soared to 103 degrees. They kept me cool, while allowing me to rock one of fall 2017’s trends; the wide leg pant.

Wide leg pants for fall are a huge trend! We are seeing all types of fabrics being constructed into fall wide leg pants. I love how this pair flows and offers an on-trend stripe pattern featuring navy and winter white. This winter white ruffle top works perfectly with the pants; and it is a cool fabric making it perfect for early fall’s hot temperatures. When the weather cools down in about five to six weeks, this ruffle top and these wide leg pants will transition into cooler temperatures with the addition of boots and a moto jacket; bonus points if it’s a silver moto jacket! So hot for fall!!

The pants, ruffle top, and shoes make a complete outfit priced under $115. Isn’t that amazing!! I love finding great deals on fashion-forward items which will take me through an entire season.

What do you think about the fall wide leg pant trend this season? Is this a trend you plan to rock? It is pretty easy to wear, even if you are short. I am 5’4″ and I love how they look. These pants can be worn at the ankle, or cropped; depending on your height, and where they hit you. Cropped wide leg pants are just as hot, and on trend, as regular length. Which type do you prefer?
