3 WAYS TO WORK IT

The Basics: Printed pants–denim, trousers, and chinos alike began making their way on the scene last spring, and the trend is only gaining momentum! Printed bottoms are the number one trend happening across Europe this fall, which means it is here to stay in the US for some time. Designers and brands are pushing the trend, but it can be a tricky one to figure out how to wear! Keep these guidelines in mind to make it work for you; it is a statement piece, so keep it simple everywhere else. Look for a print or pattern that is right for you; they can be subtle or bold, go with what you feel comfortable in! We’re not suggesting you run out and buy a pair if it’s not the right piece for you, but keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to go for it if you find a pair that strike your fancy! For a fun and easy casual look, try them with any neutral, basic sweater, and the denim jacket in your closet.

Prim & Proper: Appropriate for any day at the office or business casual affair. Pair a chic plaid print with a sophisticated solid top and simple black blazer.

Holiday Party Hotness: A sassy and sexy take on the holidays, try a dressed up version with a sexy peplum top and statement color heels.
