weekend wear

Even though I usually work weekends, Sundays still call for a casual and easy outfit. Nothing wrong with a good jeans and a t-shirt combo, and I think the white pant is a bit more unexpected than traditional denim. This is probably my coziest sweater, since the wool/cashmere blend means it’s actually warm…

finding the perfect trench

The trench coat is a classic piece that’s always been a popular choice for spring. It is chic dressed up or down, goes with almost anything and can even protect you from those April showers. Here’s my advice on how to find the perfect trench at any budget: 1) Invest in…

making culottes casual

Although I love these pants (and they are as comfy as wearing sweats!) I had mainly been using them as work attire until now. I like to think I invest in versatile pieces, so it was time to build them into something more casual this past long weekend. Plaid is a great…

distressed denim diy

Last night, I was admiring all these slightly cropped, loose ripped jeans online and contemplating adding to my denim collection. You know I’m trying to cut down on mindless shopping, so luckily it didn’t take me long to decide I could modify something I already owned to fit my vision instead.…

spring essentials now

I know it’s only just February, but I’m in the mood for spring already. And sometimes on days like today, Vancouver humours me and plays along. Though it may not be warm enough to get away with no jacket and bare legs for long, there are lots of spring pieces you can…

contrast

One of my favourite things to play around with in fashion is contrast. I find it can keep my outfits looking fresh + exciting, and prevent me from looking overly formal or casual. Pairing sneakers with a fuller, midi skirt and designer bag just makes the latter seem more everyday…

looking back on 2015

What a year it has been! January marks 1 year on pantsthatsuck, and I thought I would take this moment to look back through some of the outfits I’ve featured in that time. It’s a strange and wonderful thing to have a catalogue of pretty much everything you wore for 365 days, and to be…

new classics

An anorak, striped shirt, busted knee denim and booties have been my go to for overcast days like today the past few seasons. Nothing in this outfit was expensive, but because the look is so simple, they really don’t have to be. These are some new classics I love to wear. Have to say,…

scandinavian minimalism

I have noticed since being in Denmark that most of the women and girls wear all black, all the time. Not sure if it’s just the town I’m in, but there isn’t a whole lot of colourful clothing, patterns or florals here! That paired with the modern ikea furnished apartment we’ve rented inspired this simple,…

greetings from denmark

After a long (18 hours!) day of travel yesterday, we are settled into our Airbnb apartment in Helsingor, Denmark. It’s colder here than in Vancouver and so windy, but beautiful. It’s a smaller town and doesn’t seem to have many tourists this time of year, but I think would be very busy in the summer.…
