How do we feel about blush pants?

Thistle

I was gifted with a pair of blush Ralph lauren trousers, the same style as the white ones I was sporting on a few WiWs.

Are blush pants as on trend as white ones? If so, what colors would one pair with blush other than white, cream and black?

No idea about trend factor, but I love the colour! Try aqua and/or dove grey, or you could be bold with stronger pinks and reds too. I'd consider blush to be "not quite a neutral" - play around and have fun with them!!

I see a lot of blush colored items out there so I don't think they are off trend. Depends on how noticeable the blush is - do they read "pink" or "coral" or more off white or nude?

I think it could look nice with white as an almost all white ensemble.

My only worry with blush and other light pants is when they are close to skintone color, and from far away it looks like you're mot wearing pants I've seen a lot of young girls wearing beige or blush skinny jeans here lately, and I always end up doing a double take! Haha! But if they're blush and looser trousers they may not have the same effect.

Blush pants, cream/white shirt, and aqua or grey jacket/cardigan/accessories. Pics please!! (Can you tell I went away dreaming of this combination? To me those colours scream summer!!)

Is your blush light pink or coral? Either way, I am a fan. It's a girly color for sure, so you can embrace that (floral on top?) or balance it (edgy black).

White bottoms are ALWAYS in style

My thumbs are up for blush! I have found my blush jacket very versatile.

I love my blush pants and have found them to be a light neutral. People all over in Japan were wearing blush with black. I tend to wear mine with other neutrals or midtone lavender. I think they will work for fall with brown, black, charcoal, burgundy, or navy. Burnt orange might be fun too. It depends on the shade of blush. Try denim of any blue shade and white, a nautical striped tee with navy blazer, the right shade of red for your blush, purple, maybe a peach. Floral prints work well.

I think Joy has blush pants, and she wore them in Japan and looked a-mazing. I like pastels on you Thistle. I think you can rock these and they will go with your existing footwear.

Ok so I typed my response before reading Joy's response directly above mine! I was just THAT excited about you in blush pants!

They are a pale blush. Much closer to pink than coral for sure! Hmmm, I hope it still looks like I am wearign pants!! Like my white ones, they are a full size up from my normal RL size, and they are straight legged.

I will have to find some pieces to go with them

I normally wouldn't buy blush, but as they were a gift, I figure I will take a chance with them

Thistle, I have blush khaki pants and posted an outfit with them last week. I also have a Pinterest board on wearing blush. I don't have access to it now but I can send you a link tonight if you want.
From memory it is black, shades of grey, shades of white, faded denim, burgundy, gold...

Thistle, this may be the Pinterest board Sveta referenced. Suz linked to it in my coral pants post.

My coral pants got better comments after I "roughed" them up a bit with gray and loden neutrals.

pil, I meant a different Pinterest board - my own. I created it when I considered to by blush pants for inspiration.

Raisin, to your concern - I prefer blush pants on the looser side rather than skinnies for the same reason you mentioned - skinnies look like no pants...

I like them with white, or denim, or greens like olive or sage, or pale blue.

I thrifted a pair of blush trousers last fall and found them very versatile. My sister (we trade outfit photos everyday) even commented that she was surprised by how many different combinations I found to wear them with. Besides the obvious pairings of grey, white, cream and black, they also looked good with chambry, navy and maroon.
