So far, this season has proven to be full of fashion risks, and the new printed-pant craze is certainly no exception. While elaborate prints have traditionally been used for casual tops and evening wear, this season brings in the bold with a new wardrobe essential: the printed pant. Whether you’re a fan of skinny jeans or structured trousers, there is a pair that is tailor-made to fit your taste. Designers like Balenciaga, Etro, Roberto Cavalli, and Dries Van Noten have all given this new style a go, and the results have been magnificent. While these high-end designers did this trend justice, my favorite pairs come from ASOS. Their styles have high-end details available at a low-end price. What I love most about this trend is that it involves a certain degree of bravery- wearing these pants on the street is a lot different than admiring them on the runway. However, if you’re up to the challenge, the results will definitely pay off. I can think of no better way to experiment with colors and textures than to play with a pair of printed pants. Match a pair with a basic tank to keep the focus on the pants, or experiment just a little with a bold colored crop-top, another summer essential. The most important thing to remember when wearing this trend is not to overdo it. If you choose a pair of loose harem pants, opt for a more form-fitting top to avoid looking too slouchy. If you pick a pair of printed skinnies, choose a blouse or flowy tee to create the perfect balance. Don’t be afraid to mix prints, either, it’s a great way to express yourself without going overboard.
