Threads for Thought: Biker Pants

Casual pants are quite easy to come by, especially right now with stores transitioning into fall and bringing out all the cold-weather bottoms. But for the overwhelming majority, most casual pants share the same bland design with changes essentially only to the fabrics and pocket configuration.

Going hand in hand with a combination of different trends and leading into upcoming fall trends, biker pants are going to be a reliable addition to your everyday garb. This variety can be distinguished by the accordion fabric or the addition of zippers around critical joints on the pants, like the knees and ass, in effort to make "riding your bike" comfortable. For those of you that don't ride motorcycles, this means that you're going to be adding some much needed edge to your fall and winter looks while paying homage to some serious mid-century motifs. If you're feeling a little flush, splurge on the luxe leather pair for a style piece that will last for years and years, or utilize the abundance of waxed denims out there to get the look without breaking the bank.
Balmain: $1500
Ralph Lauren: $395
Zara: $30
Check in tomorrow for this week's installment of Friday Faux Pas and next Thursday for another piece that deserves your consideration!
