0:00 [Music] 0:00 foreign 0:02 [Music] 0:08 and good evening whenever you're tuning 0:12 in thanks for being here welcome back to 0:14 three days three ways we are going to 0:16 take one amazing item style it three 0:19 different ways and it might be one of 0:22 the most important pieces to get into 0:24 your closet this season it is the 0:27 trouser relaxed comfortable incredibly 0:32 versatile and the best way to bring a 0:35 modern slant to your wardrobe we're 0:38 going to start with a more casual look 0:40 and kind of work into some alternates 0:41 let's talk about the pant first this is 0:44 from Sanctuary it's the NoHo trouser a 0:47 million reasons to love this and we're 0:49 going to start with the fit it is 0:51 relaxed it runs true to size I am 0:54 wearing my normal size and this one 0:56 really comfortable full waistband zip 1:00 button fly and it has Loops for a belt 1:03 if you so choose 1:04 flat seaming detail here so a little bit 1:08 of that fun kind of faux pleat but no 1:11 pleats so you get the Simi detail that's 1:13 really flattering without any of the 1:15 bulk Pockets thank you for that and one 1:19 of my favorite details is great little 1:21 side slit that gives the leg a lot of 1:23 movement now you're going to notice this 1:25 pant is a little bit more relaxed it's 1:28 meant to puddle a little bit at the 1:30 bottom it doesn't need to look super 1:32 tailored and tight we want this guy to 1:36 feel as though it is easy as a little 1:39 bit of slouch and kind of cool factor to 1:42 any wardrobe so here I am I'm going kind 1:45 of Collegiate prep today how fun is this 1:48 this is from good American it is a dare 1:51 I say sexy slant on our beloved rugby 1:55 from yesteryear so no buttons but you 1:58 get that great cotton detail around the 1:59 neckline in a big open V which is so 2:02 flattering a really fun spin on that 2:06 rugby stripe done in this great taupe 2:08 and black a little bit of a puff sleeve 2:11 here and I just pulled it up to show a 2:13 little skin and then did a bit of a half 2:15 tuck just to give myself a waist now 2:17 this guy is generous I went down a size 2:20 in this and I still feel like I have 2:23 tons of room now to finish it off it 2:25 doesn't get any easier than a sneaker 2:28 and I think this new sneak from p448 2:30 might be one of my favorites and yes you 2:34 can do a sneaker with a trouser that's 2:36 what makes this so fun little hint of 2:39 shearling on here neutral done and done 2:42 I see this for running around maybe 2:44 popping into my kids school if they 2:46 forgot their lunch which they do almost 2:48 every day 2:49 whose fault is that is it mine or theirs 2:51 we're not here to play but somehow I end 2:54 up making that trip almost every day 2:55 anyway 2:57 casual fun easy game I've got a really 3:00 great option for that Monday to Friday 3:03 work look coming right up after this 3:05 look number two for those of us that are 3:08 heading into the office even if it's 3:09 just a couple days a week looking for 3:12 new ideas and I think this is a really 3:14 fun modern way to dress up that where to 3:17 work pant we all had a black pant in 3:20 college especially do you remember that 3:22 it was the black going out pant you 3:24 paired it literally with everything then 3:27 you graduated and you got your black 3:29 work pant and this is the pant you wore 3:31 every day with probably a blouse maybe a 3:34 blazer maybe it was even part of a suit 3:35 and then you broke it up and then we 3:38 took a pause on it not just because of 3:40 coven but because maybe we were wearing 3:42 that black pant all the time and I think 3:44 that's what makes this trouser feel so 3:45 fun and fresh is that we haven't had 3:48 this guy in the closet in their rotation 3:49 we haven't had this more relaxed slouchy 3:52 silhouette and this is what makes it so 3:55 fun now for work instead of pairing it 3:58 back to an expected woven top I'm 4:00 letting it be a little bit more textural 4:03 and I think a little bit more 4:04 interesting this is that fabulous 4:06 already style Cassie sweater now here's 4:09 that's great if you work in an office 4:11 where you can't do sleeveless this does 4:13 have more of a cap sleeve but it is 4:14 fantastic for this transition time of 4:17 year when the weather is all over the 4:20 place now it's got a stray cut it's 4:22 going to hit you kind of at your hip I 4:25 did a little bit of a half tuck you 4:26 could easily add a doll to this just for 4:29 a little bit of waist definition got my 4:32 NoHo trousers back on and then let's 4:34 talk about the shoe the loafer is having 4:37 a moment and have you met a better work 4:39 shoe than the loafer I don't think so 4:41 it's a flat so it's comfortable but it's 4:43 so Chic now this is from Sam Edelman why 4:46 I love this a mix of gold and silver 4:49 Hardware a little bit of a heel but not 4:52 so much I mean this still reminds me of 4:55 penny loafers like back to school 4:57 shopping when I was in second grade and 4:59 going with my parents that was like the 5:00 one shoe you could get aside from your 5:02 sneaker this is the Corona version and 5:04 it's so much more fun and then of course 5:06 I grabbed my Parker clay backpack 5:08 because I think this is a great 5:10 alternative to your typical work bag 5:12 still big enough to slip your laptop 5:14 into throw it on over your shoulder if 5:17 you're commuting or it's an easy one to 5:18 toss in that seat next to you and it 5:20 still looks Chic enough that if you are 5:22 meeting someone out for dinner or drinks 5:24 after you still look totally put 5:26 together there we go Rd style turtleneck 5:29 back to the trousers loafer backpack 5:33 this is our back to work look we got 5:35 this nailed all right one more fun 5:38 weekend look coming up say the best for 5:41 last I mean I love those first two looks 5:43 of course but this one's pretty darn 5:44 special this is your show stopper piece 5:47 this is one of those jackets you're 5:50 going to have in your closet and you're 5:52 going to want to reach for it again and 5:53 again because wow what it does for any 5:56 look including these amazing trousers so 6:00 here's the deal this is from bash what I 6:03 love about Bash 6:04 is their incredibly Rich color and the 6:08 way they use print pattern to make any 6:11 piece just a standout show stopper this 6:15 is no exception taking a blanket plaid 6:18 and it sounds exactly what it sounds 6:20 like blanket plant it's like the 6:22 favorite you know blanket you've had
