Let me let you in on a little secret – I hate patterned pants. I’m talkin’ plaids, checks, stripes, and houndstooth patterns done on trousers, slacks or whathaveyou. They just remind me too much of pajamas. I don’t mean you can’t look good in them, because you can, as long as you wear one with the right pieces (I guess). However, I personally wouldn’t wear patterned pants myself out of choice. So when I saw these pics of Jennifer Lopez leaving a hotel in New York last week, I couldn’t help but cringe:

As you can see, the AI judge had on some patterned trousers. And here’s the thing, she even hyped the outfit further by pairing it with a patterned and fur trimmed scarf!

Now I know one good way to spice up a look is by mixing prints, but honestly, what can you say about this combo? Perfect or completely way off? And what about those booties (from Dior)? Would you say the trio complement each other like they were meant to be?

Jen’s topper by the way, is a piece from Gucci (obviously). It’s called the Fox Trimmed GG Patterned Stole and you can find it at SAKS. It is part-wool part-silk and it retails at a whopping USD1550. Yep, THAT much. No surprises there of course; Jen has been known to favor luxurious and glam pieces; this scarf is simply just one of ‘em.

Now let’s go back to JLo’s attire, what can you say about it? Would you wear such an outfit? Do you think she should have changed her scarf/stole into something solid and classic? Or do you think she should have worn different pants instead? And what about those shoes? Should she have worn something else?

It’s a no brainer and we’re pretty sure you know it too – that the best way to spice up a plain outfit is to simply top it with a scarf. Here’s Sofia Vergara doing just that while leaving the set of Modern Family. After filming scenes, the hot Latina  put on an all-black ensemble and wrapped herself in a luxe monogrammed scarf from none other than high fashion label, Gucci:

Unfortunately for Sofia however, the Gucci scarf was not wide or large enough to cover the sheer fabric that displayed her backside. Of course, with such a nice and well-toned bum like that, who’d be embarrassed?

Sofia’s Gucci wrap is this patterned GG Monogrammed Shawl from SAKS. It comes in several colors – Sand, Lilac, Blue, and Graphite. If you’re into luxe pieces (and you can afford to spend USD410 on a scarf), this would be a good one to collect. The scarf is of wool silk mix, features the GG logo all over, and comes with two tone fringes. To purchase, simply head over to SAKS!
