Drinks and Pants

This summer, while sitting at an outdoor bar in Edinburgh with my mom, I noticed my yellow culottes were the exact same colour as the orange juice in my oh-so-fancy drink. From the top of my head to the rim of my glass, I suddenly felt completely put together. It’s funny what a confidence boost you can get from accidentally matching your drink to your pants.Now, there’s nothing I love more than Kingston’s gorgeous downtown —and the inevitable trips to different restaurants and bars around the neighbourhood. As we only have so much time left to go out before exams bring an official end to patio-season, we should take advantage of the next few weeks to level-up our already on-point outfits.The next time you go out or host a party, I challenge you to upgrade your accessory game by matching your drink to your pants. I guarantee you’ll feel like your outfit is a perfect 10.Here are my suggestions for perfect drink and pant pairs:(Tap the photos to see the recipes!)
