Printed Pants!
Monday, May 21, 2012
Printed pants are making a huge splash in the fashion world, their bright colors and wild patterns are eye-catching. They are a great way to spice up your wardrobe and are anything but boring! Cropped, harem, flowing, and fitted styles are making a stylish appearance. When you're shopping for a pair of printed pants, look for bright, colorful shapes, stripes, and geometric patterns. If you are going to try print pants, keep the rest of the look toned down by using a plain color blouse or shirt with them. Otherwise it can turn into a fashion catastrophe.
Even though printed pants are pretty much an accessory on their own, it doesn’t hurt to add a thin belt or a pair of statement earrings into the mix. choose low-key ones that are mainly there just to add flair, simple accessories are always the best choice.
