I'm on the downward curve of my interest in barrel pants.  I don't usually jump head first into trends, but for some reason I did with barrel jeans/pants. I have quite a few pair between denim/wool/nylon/cotton and will not be adding any more.  They are just too weird (for me) to consider a wardrobe mainstay and I am over it .  I'm wearing what I have but don't see longevity at this point and that's what I want in my wardrobe additions.

I bought these  (Gap Barrel Hight Rise) at the end of last summer, probably wore them twice  and just pulled them out again for spring.  A couple of compliments at the nail salon today :). I would have preferred a more elevated and elegant footwear choice, but we still have lots of snow and ice on the ground making walking treacherous. I'll switch to a brown loafer as soon as the ice is gone.
 
Wore them with a second hand corduroy pea coat/cropped trench from Lauren Jeans Company (a Ralph Lauren offshoot I'd never heard of). I LOVE this jacket but maybe wear it  twice a season in spring and fall.  It's super soft and warm without being heavy.

Also worn with a new heavy cotton fisherman knit sweater from Quince , and Birkenstock Bostons.  I chose a cream leather bag  (no -name from a boutique) I normally use in the  summer but wanted  a pop of brightness to work with the sweater.  

*bonus fun little article I read about barrel pants- I totally agree with the writer.
