High Waisted Floral - When it comes to the printed pants trend, florals are the classics. They are feminine, and mostly very easy to match, depending on the color palette. Pastels are very popular this season, so hit two trends at once with these high-waisted skinnies from Lulu Tresors on Etsy. The cropped cut adds retro sophistication that is intensified when paired with a ladylike top and delicate sandals, or Audrey Hepburn flats.

Playful Prints - And the award for cutest print ever goes to these honey bee print flares from the 70's! The contrast of a sweet, silly print against a seriously classic cut really make these trousers. I think you can't get too outrageous with prints these days, especially with the crazy prints we've seen on the runway this Fall 2012 season. We saw Jeremy Scott, for instance, show some irreverently childlike prints, including Bart Simpson! It was a totally return to the 90s. Likewise, these prints represent retro to the fullest.

Ethnic Prints - Ethnic prints on a trouser do not typically make it off of the beach, but these lively Southwest print can is a bonafide city dweller. The sheer variety of colors in these trousers mean you can wear them with almost anything. Like with most prints, these are best as shown, with structured neutrals on top to create an attractive contrast with the harem cut. Harem does not have to go hippie!

80's Designer Digs - Really, the 80's are the decade of the printed pant. These jeans from haute couture designer Christian La Croix are what the printed pant trend are all about. Unlike the floral or the Ikat, this artsy design is quite different from anything you'll see in contemporary shops, which will recycle the same prints over and over. These jeans are unique like a painting; exactly the type of work-of-art piece that will be a wardrobe regular.

Black and Bright - Velvety black florals laid over a rich yellow base--these printed jeans from 1980's denim designer, Gino, somehow look more serious and sophisticated than they should! The swirls of the stencil give a bit of a trompe de l'oeil effect, making the flowers look like something else entirely from afar. An ideal floral for the more edgy fashionista. Be careful of making bold prints like this one come off costume-ish. Keep the complements classy: solid, and perhaps even silky, to heighten the touchable factor.
