Happy Little Mother Plaid Trousers: Respectfully, the Trouser

Respectfully, matching is overrated. The Happy Little Mother Plaid Trousers take five different plaids, stitch them into one relaxed, low-rise pant, and run a suspicious number of four-leaf clovers down each leg. There was never any intention of toning it down.

Respectfully, the Story

Somewhere along the way, motherhood got very serious. Parts of it deserve every ounce of that. Other parts are hilarious, unhinged, and a little inappropriate, and those might be the best parts.

The Respectfully collection lives right there. It borrows a little nostalgia from the mothers who came before, throws in plaid, clovers, and questionable behavior, and lands on the kind of humor you may only fully understand after becoming somebody’s mother. Sweet, but not that sweet. Sentimental, but never too serious. A little grandma, a little rebellion, a whole lot of mother.

Five Plaids, One Pair of Happy Little Mother Plaid Trousers

Each pair is built from five different plaids, so no two panels match and that is the point. Red and blue plaid sits next to soft lavender, sunny yellow, deep green, and a dark plaid back pocket, with four-leaf clovers screen printed down each leg. A distressed finish gives the cotton that perfectly worn-in feel, like a pair you have owned and loved for years.

The plaids are pulled straight from the Respectfully shirt collection, so the trousers pair back to all five tops. Wear them with the matching plaid, the clashing plaid, or all the plaids at once. Five tops, five plaids, endless ways to be disrespectfully respectful.

Fit and Feel

These trousers are cut relaxed and low-rise with a long, easy leg. They are 100% cotton with no stretch, so they wear like your favorite broken-in pants instead of a legging or a jogger. A button and zip closure, belt loops, and back pockets keep them a true trouser, not a pajama pant, no matter what the plaid suggests.
