Over the past few weeks, we've noticed Beetlejuice-inspired fashion showing up in more places than just our blog: For Fall 2012, vertical striped pants are the next big thing. These dramatic trousers definitely make a statement, but the question is: Is this trend wearable on campus, off campus, or absolutely nowhere at all?

Don't be concerned about looking like a jailbird because there are plenty of different looks to try. There are several styles available in stores, from wide-leg pants to trousers, and high-waisted to low-cut. Bold fashionistas love wide-leg versions that are tight up top, but if you prefer a more subtle look, opt for a basic skinny jean with light stripes (like the Topshop version above).

The question is... would YOU wear vertically striped pants?
