Happy Tuesday, ladies. The week is underway, and it’s already turning out to be a busy one. We’ve been focused a lot on Spring dresses and skirts lately, so I wanted to shift gears a bit. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. I picked up a pair of Ralph Lauren linen pants a few weeks ago. And if you’re like me and gravitate towards classic style, I think you’re going to like them too. I couldn’t wait to style them. Here’s what I came up with.
Today’s outfit is clean, classy, and classic: a pairing between cream button-up and linen twill pleated pants. Both the top and bottom are from Ralph Lauren and are available at Macy’s. We’ve been all about color lately, so I wanted to mix things up a bit with a monochromatic, neutral outfit.

Given the simplicity of the outfit, accessories are what push it over the age. Leather highlights from this canvas embossed belt are subtle and effective. And a canvas shoulder bag like this one from Coach (old similar here and here) add visual interest.

I love the pants but 8 is the smallest they come in. I need a 2. Do you know if they are available anywhere else?
Ralph Lauren carries these pants and they have sizes 0 – 18:

These linen off white pants from Ralph Lauren and blue and white bold print blouse that you posted a few days ago is on it way to me. You have made me a Ralph Lauren fan. Another way of wearing them, monochromatic.
Welcome Kelly.
These white linen slacks look great and I love the spring/summer look of linen…when I first put it on. I guess I have a bit of OCD, because I really don’t like it’s wrinkled appearance after sitting for awhile. Sorry, just me.
What undergarments do you wear under the blouse? Is it a bra and camisole one-piece or two? Is the fabric colored nude or white. Do you ever use a pretty camisole or just shapewear?
I love the outfit but never get the underwear right.
I am loving that belt but am wondering what size I should purchase as I am often between sizes in belts. Can you tell me what size you are wearing?
You look so elegant in this—I especially like how the cream colored belt doesn’t break the long, monochromatic lines of this outfit. I would get a spot on this somewhere before the day was finished, so it wouldn’t work for my everyday life, but I learned something anyway. Thanks!
You look gorgeous in this outfit!
Love Kelly’s daily look! Too bad that color shoe is sold out in all sizes, because they are so cool in limon!
Oh well!
The linen pants are pretty, but I don’t go anywhere to need a look like that and I wouldn’t wear it around the house…which is where I usually am. Classy look though. I like it!
I an venturing into wide leg or wider leg pants\jeans…but desperately need help in combing them with tops and shoes that flatter my 5’3” frame….thank you
PERFECTION! I love all things linen. This monochromatic look is right up my alley.
Kelly’s look is so cute.
Y’all are a great combo!
