WIW - Dressing Down Silky Track Pants

Trying to stick to my promise to post more regularly:-)
This was just a simple outfit for another very rainy day. (I'm starting to think we are going to skip Summer entirely this year -((
In defiance I wore my white booties!

I think the proportions would probably be better if I could scrunch the elasticated hems of the trousers a bit more, but they won't stay up. Plus, that would also show more of the blue-grey elastic insets on the booties, which I love.

All thoughts and comments welcome.

ETA: I forgot to photograph my bag (picked up at the Van Gogh museum last year with Angie).

I like it. It looks put together and nicely casual. I esp like the booties and stripes.

Good outfit! I'm on lookout for trackpant variations- they suit me. Blue inset is very cool; I can see why you'd like to showcase.

I love your handbag! Why dont the art museums here have cool stuff like that? Great casual outfit!

That is a lovely casual outfit, Inge, and you look regal in it. The bag is super cute.

So nice to see you Inge.
Fabulous sporty luxe pants, it seems counter intuitive, but they make the outfit more pretty and urban.
I love the proportions as they are, the full length works for me.

I love this. What a great bag! I find the best accessories in the shops at art museums.

Fabulous outfit. I like the simple lines as you are wearing it, but if you want to show the booties more, could you roll the cuffed hem? Please send us some of your cool rainy weather. We just had the driest June since 1936 (Dust Bowl time) and the heat is also record breaking.

It's the booties that take this fab, classic look and make it yours. I think rolling the pants might be marvelous, too, but mostly -- I can imagine a red neckerchief!

I love cool summers --- although there should be just enough rainy days for plenty of tea and reading, and plenty of sun for walking and cycling.

Classically casual! YLF. Please post more often

Those booties are beyond amazing. I love the whole outfit on you, but then you knew I would, right?

This looks great, love the booties. I struggle with the proportion of track pants so it's nice to see WIW's with them.

I agree with Beth Ann, I can imagine this with a neckerchief.

Love this, Inge. I have the same problem with my track pants. It seems the elastic is always too tight or too loose. You look effortlessly stylish regardless of those uncooperative hems. Great to see you!

Diana

Those boots are incredible! I think they look great with the track pants at this length - the hems fall nicely over the booties (which is always the issue I have with mine) and the proportions are great. Very elegant with a touch of urban edge.

Sorry about all the rain.

This look is so fab Inge! I really like the mix of fabrics and the proportions. White footwear is fab and a good way of counteracting the horrid drab weather we're all having....isn't our Summer dreadful???!

Oh,l and I meant to say that I have fond memories of the London meet up last year when I see that bag

Fabulous outfit, Queen Stripe. I LOVE the bag and boots we picked up together in Amsterdam last year. Such treasures and precious memories. They work wonderfully well with this outfit.

GO AWAY RAIN.

Great casual look ! White boots are waaaay out of my wheelhouse, but I do like these a lot - I'm a sucker for classic brogue detailing on anything Sorry about the weather - some summers are just that way, it seems.

You look too cool! That perforation pattern on your boots is genius, and I want those pants (already have the top and jacket). Hope the sun comes out soon. We have more than enough here, I'll see if I can send some your way.

Ooh, I like the white boots in this outfit. Kicks it up a notch.

As I am sweating through temps in the upper 90's F, I will trade with you.

This is a great outfit. The shoes and bag are so FAB!

Thanks for posting more, but no pressure if you don't feel like it.

Happy weekend!

deb

I am so glad you are posting. You look wonderful.

You had me at boots and stripes. Great outfit to fight the rainy day dreariness. You look fab!

Maneera

Sporty luxe perfection! I'm another lover of stripes, and of silky Trackpants But what really strikes me here is the fabulous fit and the great proportions. Casual but polished.

Now that bag...that is To Die For!

PS:,My travel outfit is almost similar!

Windchime

I like how you styled your silky track pants! Those are awesome boots, and stripes are always a winner in my book.

I have a pair of silky track pants from Banana Republic which I love, and wear frequently, but I have the same problem with the elasticized cuffs not staying put. Actually, usually one of them stays up while the other slips down to my ankle. Hey, maybe it could be a new asymmetrical pant length trend!

Muffin

I just love this everyday look-never met a stripe that I didn't like, but the personality you added with the boots is just awesome and keeps it fresh.

JAileen

Very sleek looking - I like it! We've been over 100F. I'm jealous of your cool weather.

My sis sent me Athleta track pants similar to yours for my birthday in May and I love them. This is a great casual. outfit with flare!! I am inspired to Inge mine up a notch!

Firecracker (Sharan)

This outfit is beautiful on you, Inge. You do sporty luxe so well! I'm drooling over the booties and bag--what an inspired pairing they make, and so nice with the blue and white striped top.

Adelfa

Inge, you look fantastic. So pulled together but relaxed.
