Uniqlo Floral Pants, which Shoe Goes Best?

 Hello Friends! Another comparison post, this time the same pair of pants worn not that long ago or as far apart from each other. Both of these outfits were worn in 2021, the first from January. 

Original post here. 

    

I paired these floral pants from Uniqlo with a cropped sweater top from Mango, a long windowpane duster, and combat boots both from Nordstrom. My thinking here was to let the print of the pants dictate the rest of the look and I wanted to go with a long and lean silhouette. So a neutral black top and a topper with a contrasting print in the same color family as the pants.  With a wider-leg bottom I'm of a mixed bag when it comes to the shoe choice. Here, since I was going for long and lean the heeled boot seem the correct call. 

Later that Spring in this post....

For this outfit I went with an all-black top half with a turtleneck from Gap and a jacket also from Nordstrom, again taking a cue from a color in the pants' print and then white sneakers, which also take a color from the print. The silhouette here is a bit more cropped in terms of horizontal hems of the wide-leg and squareness of the leather jacket. I love the freshness of these sneakers against the print, which comes across in the detail shot, but I don't know if the edgier biker jacket was the way to go with these pants. Maybe the sneakers with these bottoms would pair better with an oversized, half-tucked button-up on a warmer day, no outwear required? Maybe some to try when the weather warms up... watch this space! 

In the meantime your thoughts, combat boots with a duster, or sneakers with a leather jacket?

Thanks for reading.
