Don’t Let the Printed Pant Scare You
If printed pants are a bit edgy for you, try pairing them with neutrals. These striped Clover Canyon pants take center stage, while a blush-tone Clover Canyon top and matching Stuart Weitzman heels balance the look.
It can feel daunting to take the sartorial plunge from tried-and-true solids to patterned pants, but with a little practice, any initial trepidation will be replaced with breezy nonchalance.
Stick to the classics! These buffalo-check Rag & Bone skinnies and Public School houndstooth pants both make a strong, yet versatile statement when paired with black high-top sneakers.
Classic prints like plaid and houndstooth are versatile and work well in professional settings. Consider trading a tailored blouse for a graphic tee to turn an office-appropriate look into an edgy after-work ensemble. On the other hand, a paint-spattered effect adds artistic, low-key cool to a weekend look.
Take patterned trousers a step further and go really bold! Floral FindersKEEPERS harem pants are truly head-turning, and these Paige Denim patchwork jeans are the perfect way to wear the plaid trend this year.
Combining a daring silhouette with a vibrant print—like this slouchy pair from Zero Maria Cornejo—ensures all eyes will be on you. If you want a more casual effect, try a style with patchwork accents for an easy way to add a pop of color without the worry of pulling off a wild allover print.
