Best Way To Wear Printed Pants

You might have noticed lately the arrival of printed pants in your favorite stores and into the runways of course. What started as a runway fantasy has now become a wearable trend. Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Cute, but not for me. That is only for models” Well to that I say think again! Everybody can wear printed pants and it is just what you need to rock your outfit. Here are some of the best ways to wear printed pants and look fabulous.

For bottom heavy - Wearing print pants draws the eye to your lower half. If you are bottom heavy (wide hips, heavy thighs), it will make that area the center of attention for your whole look.

Wear It: Opt for tightly spaced prints with just a little background showing. Other ways to look slimmer in prints is to choose a dark-ground print, horizontal print or allover subtle print.

For those who want to look tall - Skip the ditsy or horizontal prints if you want to look taller and slimmer and opt for a strong vertical print.

Wear It: Even vertical prints can be unflattering if there's too much volume. If you are going to wear a fuller leg make sure you choose something soft and drapey like silk or jersey to keep it from looking too bulky.

Animal print are the best - Not sure what print to choose? Think about adding a classic animal print. These on Amy Childs are a cute variation that mixes color and floral with animals prints.

Wear It: Although animal prints are a classic, you can still overdo it. So be careful and keep the rest of your outfit low-key (skip the spangles and statement jewelry) and let the print pants be the focus.

Opt with smaller print - Smaller prints -- like Kristen Bell always love to wear -- look complemented by a sheer layered looks is an outfit that will make you stand out..

Wear It: Although the main focus of your look is the print pant, you can venture out from a solid, plain top if you apply a deft styling hand. A sheer, layered blouse under a blazer works; cardigans layered over tees is another good look.

Most Important Tip: Find the right balance for your print pants: if your pants are too skinny you may look stuffed into them, too full and you are overwhelmed by print. Look for pants that hang straight from your hips for a flattering look. Avoid pleats and fullness (it won't look right with the print) and aim for a sleek look.

Try these ways to wear the pants and you are off to an exciting outfit. You can wear it anytime you want. Printed pants are now perfectly acceptable for work and can easily be dressed down for the weekend. So rock it out!
