The striped trouser—a favorite of musicians from Mick Jagger to Miley Cyrus—is suddenly emerging as the summer alternative to jeans. Elongating and elegant in equal measure, the pant acts as a grounding force for minimalist style. Here, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, seen arriving at her hotel in New York yesterday, stuck to a simple palette of black, white, and navy accenting her outfit with playful trousers. She elevated this idea with a streamlined handbag, complete with subtle, striped trim. Of course you don’t have to be a supermodel to take the look of the runway to reality, and wardrobe staples like a simple cardigan, T-shirt, and suede stilettos are pieces that help carry stripes into fall.
