Styling Tips for the New Wide Cropped Pants 2

It seems many of you are having a hard time choosing between the mustard and sage green. Some of you even took the plunge and ordered both. Thank you so much.

The silhouette that flares toward the hem resembles a skirt but offers a sharper, more defined impression. The single front tuck seems to enhance that crisp look.

For the buttons, we intentionally chose metal neo-bar buttons. These are the same type used on denim, which are durable enough that they won't wobble or come off even with heavy use. We also value them for the neutral, workwear-inspired feel they provide.

Today, we have some styling tips for the sage green. Let's dive straight into some outfit variations!

On hot summer days, keep it relaxed by pairing them with a T-shirt and sandals. Wondering how to style wide-leg, flared pants to get that effortless look?

Tuck an oversized T-shirt into your waistband. Defining your waist makes your legs look longer and balances the silhouette, while showing off the front tuck keeps the look from appearing sloppy.
Keep your feet cool with sandals. Add a basket bag or a straw hat to fully embrace the seasonal vibe.
Sage green pairs easily with dark colors like black or navy, without weighing the look down—it adds a touch of lightness to your overall outfit.

Next, let's pair them with the Organic Cotton Striped Shirt previously produced by KOTONE.

Pairing them with a white shirt creates a clean, uniform-like impression.

The keys to this styling are:

Tuck a loose shirt into your waist and wear it with a belt for a polished look.
Keep the neckline open so it doesn't feel too tight around your face—this adds a cool, airy feel. It’s also a great way to highlight a necklace against your skin.
For footwear, try ankle boots with colorful socks to dress it down. If you prefer a more formal look, opt for pumps or ballet flats. Because of the cropped length, adding a playful or elegant touch to your feet can completely change the vibe.

Lastly, here is a style for when the seasons change and you’re reaching for cardigans and sweaters.

In early autumn, try layering a shirt and cardigan. Here, I’ve combined a Kapok shirt from our previous KOTONE collection with a knit tie and an Aran-style cardigan for a preppy, student-inspired look. Pairing a shirt with a knit tie instantly boosts the level of sophistication and pulls the whole outfit together. This is an accessory that’s too good to be left just for men’s workwear.

When heading out, I’d love to finish the look with a plaid hunting cap or newsboy cap.

When it gets even colder, layer them with high-waisted leggings. You can wear these all year round without any issues!

The keys to autumn/winter styling are:

Avoid letting dark autumn/winter tones feel too heavy by adding lighter colors like cream or white. In the style above, the cardigan and knit hat add brightness around the face.
Don't forget that accessories like knit ties, hats, thick colorful socks, and accent bags are what really complete a person's style.
Layer when it's cold. Wear two turtlenecks to peek a bit of color from the neckline. Layer colors with your leggings and pants. Keep your layers within the same color family for cohesion, or use contrasting colors to make them a focal point of your outfit.

Sage green has a clean, fresh quality; depending on how you style it, it can look as polished as a uniform, or act as a bright accent to liven up outfits that tend to lean toward darker tones.

We hope you enjoy finding your own unique way to wear them.
