Striped pants can work, I know they can. A subtle pinstripe is a lovely look and suits most people, but seriously, the word “subtle” is the key here.
I saw a lady today who missed the memo. She had white and black pants on, striped white and black pants, 3cm white stripes and 3cm black stripes, and I thought to myself "loud". Now this doesn't have to be a sad story, you can do loud striped pants, but there is one important aspect you absolutely must consider: where do the stripes join?
Just imagine, the bold black and white stripes are rising up from your ankles, past your knees and towards... I think you get the idea. A black join is fine; a white join, not as good; but a black join, with a strip of white right in the middle, just for emphasis, not good at all. Stripes can work, but arrows making a bee-line for your bits are a big no-no.
