I've said it before and I'll say it again: dress pants are the worst! I generally avoid them to the point that I almost didn't buy the pair in today's post. (I had some issues finding my size initially, but I did eventually track them down.) As it turns out, I do really like wearing dress pants, I just hadn't found the right pair yet. So far, I have worn these pants in India, on a morning show, and today I'm giving them a try with sneakers. Stripe pants are all over stores, they are super comfy, and bonus - vertical stripes can be quite flattering. They've certainly got my vote for being the most fun dress pants around!
