The Holy-Grail Zara Pants I Found in Italy
A lot of great things happen in our Who What Wear Insiders Facebook group. (It’s a closed group. Just request to be added if you’d like to join!) Though, when exceptionally notable items surface, we can’t help but share them here on the Who What Wear website as well. Yesterday I noticed one post in particular by Cindy Scaramuzza of the blog Foreign Fresh Fierce was getting an unusually high number of likes and comments. I reached out to her to find out the backstory of the magical Zara pants she was wearing in the photo and what makes them so special.
She responded, "While shopping at Zara in Rome, I found these pants were one of the first items that caught my eye. I love bright, bold colors, and the palazzo pants have been trending lately. Most of the stripe pants I have seen have more neutral dark stripes with a pop of orange, red, or yellow. But this was the first pair where all the stripes were bright and bold. The light, silky material was a version I had not really seen yet in the States. The material is perfect for the summer while walking the beautiful streets and portos of the famous Porto Cervo in Sardinia, Italy!"
Thankfully, after a little Zara sleuthing, it turns out a very similar version is available in the U.S., just with a different-color waistband and slightly different stripes. Cindy is 5'11", so if you're on the shorter side, you may need to hem the pants. Scroll down to shop the version available stateside, as well as some tops that we think would pair perfectly with them.
