After spending the summer hyping up barrel pants, it only took twenty minutes of rotating my closet for fall to stop me from wanting to buy all of them.
Because roomy pieces like the barrel pant require some structure, dressier boots look odd against a silhouette that balloons at the hip and tapers at the ankle–a look that draws unfavorable comparisons to pantaloons.
Which isn’t to say I am not going to try to make that look happen this fall, but it’s likely that I’ll have to put some barrel pants away when cooler weather returns.
