When it comes to trends, I often look to London's fashion scene to validate my thoughts on what's worth buying into and what's not. In the stylish metropolis, one pant trend is always in flux: striped utility pants. Sure, well-dressed inhabitants frequent classic jeans (even the skinny-leg kind) too, but to break up their wardrobes this time of year, they tend to turn to striped bottoms. For proof, see two of London's most-followed people (Camille Charrière and Lucy Williams) proudly donning the always-on trend below.
In a surprising turn of events, another highly respected person in the fashion world is also a fan of the style, and she's stationed far from England's capital city. Jennifer Lopez was seen in recent months leaving Nobu in Los Angeles wearing none other than a pair of striped, wide-leg utility pants. Unlike London fashion girls, who more often than not style theirs with chunky boots or sneakers, Lopez paired her low-rise pair with her signature platform heels, this time in white. To finish off the look, she added a simple white fitted turtleneck, oversize sunglasses, and a black Dior Lady bag.

With Lopez on board with this trend, it's only expected to grow in popularity, spreading far beyond L.A. and London. When it does, be ready. Scroll down to shop some of the best striped utility pants on the market this fall.
