You’ll remember from my posts about the fantastic pair of 100% silk Ralph Lauren pants that I recently purchased that I have been working on how to wear the mint trend and am on a mission to get this minty fresh fashion piece doing overtime in my wardrobe.
Minty Fresh – Ralph Lauren Pants
Minty Fresh: Mint is a new colour for me. I don’t wear much green and barely own anything in the green family so adding this minty fresh colour to my wardrobe has been a bit of a challenge. However, I think I am getting the hang of it. Of course this fantastic open-shouldered t-shirt makes it pretty easy. And the big confession, it’s another $13.95 purchase from that previously thought to be a granny shop…Millers!
The day after I purchased the pants, I passed a Millers in Melbourne and saw a lady looking at this shirt and it stuck in my head as a good option to go with the pants. Plus if you follow along, you know I have a thing for the cut-out shoulder look. It’s just a little sexy without being in your face. So when I stopped by the local Millers and they had my size, on sale, I had to have it.
How I’m Wearing the Mint Trend
Mint Condition
Mint Condition: I really do like the casual summer elegance of wearing the silk pants and a pretty t-shirt together. With a few great accessories and a little attitude this look can be anything from boho to summer chic.
Freshly Minted Accessories
Freshly Minted: Again I have opted for fun, and maybe a little extreme accessories. The turquoise Samantha Wills bracelets from the Fashion Mister, are a perfect match when used with the pink bracelet from the trio of bright bracelets from The Fashion Sister From Another Mother. The pink just plays off the hint of pink in the t-shirt. My $5 mesh op shop clutch keeps the look a little more polished and my floral Jeffery Campbell platform wedges add a little bit of whimsy to the look. You should know by now that I like some part of my look to make a statement. Plus I love these shoes and these pants are one of the few pair I have that are long enough to wear with these extreme wedges!
Now that I have a couple of ways to wear these minty fresh silk pants, I really think I am getting the hang of how to wear the mint trend!
What do you think? How would you style these pants? Or this colour?

Love the pants! I wonder how I can wear them with flats, since I’m scared to death of heels taller than 3 inches.
January 16th, 2013 at 09:44
You would probably just need to shorten the length but they would look fantastic with sandals or flats.
In fact Ralph Lauren showed them on the runway with fairly flat shoes.

Thanks Kate!
I have two pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes.
The other pair look amazing but are a little difficult to walk in and then these are so easy.
Naturally I wear these more.
Plus I just love the floral print.

Thanks Ally!
They are lots of fun because of the floral print.
I’m surprised at how much I can wear them with, especially now that print clashing is in style.

That’s what I love about a really long pant leg!
It totally makes the legs look longer than they really are.

Love the shoes with those trousers, bravo! I love colour on colour, and even more so a bright and bold print. Sometimes, the only way you can go with a colour, is just to run with it!
January 16th, 2013 at 21:56
Totally agree Megan!
There was only one way to work this and that was to go full on.
