Get Printed Pants This Summer

Why should your top half have all the fun? This summer give your legs something to dance about in a pair of fun-loving printed pants. From hot Hawaiian blooms to roaring animal skins, there is a pattern to suit your personality. This summer, take a walk on the wild side and rock out some printed pants!

Flowers, polka dots, stripes, cheetah and plaid – you name it and it’s a hot print for you summer skinnies or harem trousers.  Printed pants are this season’s staple clothing item around which to build your summer wardrobe, so, embrace the trend and enjoy searching for a fab floral- or sassy cheetah-printed pant.

The old adage that suggests wearing print-on-print is a fashion faux pas no longer applies to the patterned styles of today.  Branch out by wearing a horizontally striped top with polka dot bottoms, or wearing a striped pant with a hound’s-tooth top.  Cater to creativity, yet while pairing patter with pattern, give attention to the color schemes and the scale of the prints.  Give your ensemble a classy and finished look rather than a my-five-year-old-dressed-me look.

If the idea of two prints in one outfit is outside of your comfort ability zone, stick to matching monochrome tops with your printed bottoms.  If feeling bold, don a vibrant turquoise, lavender or orange blouse with your floral or cheetah bottoms. For a more neutral effect up top, wear calmer shades like nude, pastel pink or white to make the focus of the outfit solely about displaying the printed pant.

So, instead of reaching for a typical pair of blue denim, take a cue from these stylish supers and opt for some colorful and patterned slacks! It is indeed the perfect summer wear. Whether you are looking to add a pop of tropical prints into a daytime ensemble or need something to wear to your next cocktail party, this round up of printed pants will fit each and every one of your style needs.
