7. The Utilitarian Cargo Pants and Sheer Organza Blouse
Utility meets romance in this highly textured, modern street style look. Begin with a pair of heavy-duty, multi-pocketed black cargo pants. Look for a pair in a structured cotton canvas or a technical nylon fabric, featuring drawstring ankles that can be cinched tight. This rugged, streetwear-heavy bottom provides the perfect canvas for a surprisingly delicate top half.
Contrast the heavy utility of the pants with a sheer, billowy black organza or chiffon blouse. Wear a simple black bralette or camisole underneath for coverage. The translucent fabric, puffed sleeves, and delicate bow details of the blouse create a stunning, romantic juxtaposition against the utilitarian pants. Elevate the look with strappy black stiletto sandals to add a feminine lift, and carry a sleek, patent leather top-handle bag.
