Doesn’t this look like something Rachel Green would wear? Pair it with a classic white tank top, an easy, lightweight cardigan, and a pair of flip-flops, and you’ve got the quintessential casual ’90s look.

In my humble opinion, everyone should have a pair of bright red pants. Style them with a boxy white T-shirt or go monochromatic with a coordinating shade of red. The choice is yours. All you have to do is finish your look with a cool pair of shoes.

With a cool girl-approved low-rise fit and chic khaki linen fabric, these might be the perfect alternative to your office trousers. They’ll look just as good with a classic button-down as they would with a silk-satin blouse.
