Striped trousers: Summer’s take on comfortable loungewear


by Sarah Finnan
01st May 2024

Summer dressing is about comfort and ease. The sun doesn't always shine but we want to be ready when it does and a pair of striped trousers will get you out the door in two minutes flat.

Though wearable all year round, fabrics like linen really come into their own in the summer months when we tend to reach for lighter garments in happy colours; striped trousers hit the mark on both counts. Breathable, versatile and yes, pretty stylish too, they’re denim’s less restrictive cousin and can be worn over swimsuits, under oversized blazers and with just about any top hanging in your current wardrobe.

For those of us looking for at least the illusion of height, vertical stripes do wonders to elongate shorter silhouettes – opt for wide leg and wear with heels for a VB-approved combo or add a matching top to nail the boho two-piece look.

Whether pinstripe or pastels call your name, we’ve found something for everyone. Shop our edit of striped trousers below.
