Fashionable Mention: Knit Pants From Rodarte SS/17 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 7, 2017April 4, 2017Leave a Comment

Knitwear continues to dominate the season and we continue love every last variation of it! When someone mentions knits you instantly think sweaters, scarves or perhaps mittens. Yet, pants never seem to be quite on the radar. Nevertheless, Rodarte for their Spring/ Summer 2017 collection sent a very eye-catching pair of knit pants down the catwalk. Oh darlings, yes we dare!

Fashionable Mention: Knit Pants From Rodarte SS/17 Collection

We had to make these knit pants a fashionable mention due to three reasons. They showcase ingenuity, they are modern but they also possess a nice vintage and retro vibe. We love when designers infuse some throwback sparks into their fashions and this look was definitely a success.

The pants are actually apart of an entire set. The top and pant combo is a delicate and deliciously feminine ensemble of knits. The neutral color is very spring and makes it easy to pair as separates with other garments within your closet.

Nevertheless, our eyes immediately do a bulls-eye target on the pants and pants alone. We adore the length of these knit pants because they almost reach completely over the heels. With the sock and heel revival still going strong, this particular look plays into that trend somewhat.

Moreover, the flare detailing is beyond chic and give us 70’s glamour. It is a nice touch of flare without screaming for attention. Plus, these pants have a look and feel of leggings. Pair these knit pants with an oversized or loose shirt and dangling accessories and you are sure to be a major hit.

Here’s a little bit of fashion truth: Overalls are basically cool from pre-school up to 2nd grade. Then they quickly lose their appeal. However, a new crop of awesome designers are taking this classic and giving it a fresh remixed modern spin. Our favorite pick of this sudden overall revival hails from a couture genius stationed in London town. Check out his unique vision… India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls.

India Westbrooks Wears Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls

Ugh… we just love edgy couture! The Digby Jackson Chemical Plant Overalls ooze effortless cool vibes. Miss India Westbrooks took one of her recent photo shoots to new levels by adorning herself with head-to-toe Digby Jackson fashions.

The petite beauty wore the stylish Chemical Plant Overalls/Dungarees with yeti shoes. Moreover, she mixed retro with revision by opting to forgo a shirt. Google the chick from Come On Eileen and you will see exactly what we mean. Furthermore, the overalls are so fashion forward that its unisex. Both girls and boys can kill it so we have to tip our hats off to Jackson for such a versatile design.

Nevertheless, India is in good celebrity company when it comes to wearing the DJ brand. Serayah, Fergie Ferg as well as Sofia Richie have all worn Digby Jackson digs. Its the cool kids brand and we are excited to witness the full on fashion domination in the future.

Hair Notes: If you are going to wear clothing that’s already “in your face” it is best to keep hair simple. Doing so has two fold benefits. One you will not overpower your outfit allowing the focus to remain on your statement pieces. Also, you will keep the look very clean instead of overworked.
