The Kickee Pants in Blush

The Kickee Pants in BlushMuted mauve, the color of dried petals. Warm, dusty, and grown up sweet, this muted mauve sits somewhere between rose and clay, the color of dried petals and desert sunsets. It is a pink for the kiddo who likes things a little understated, soft without being saccharine, pretty in a quiet, modern way. Slip them on and they go with everything, the kind of earthy neutral that makes creams look creamier and rusts look richer. The relaxed cut leaves room

calm and a little contemplative

sturdy enough to keep up with every tumble

side pockets for your keys and phone

and let the deep blue ground the end of the day

The high waistband stays put no matter how you move

all shook up

Here is the pale

Tied at the neck it reads stylish and easy

like a scoop-shop awning or a beach towel left out to dry

and the result is quietly sharp

This is the piece you reach for on autopilot

sitting smooth at the hip and skimming the thigh without a pinch or a ride
