Trend File: Prints Galore!

While many may have thought that this trend is a passing fad or too gaudy for daily wear, it seems like printed pants have come straight from the runway to reality and are here to stay. Ever since the beginning of spring, it appears as if celebrities and socialites alike are having a printed pants party! From bright florals and ikat prints to eye-catching snake skin and polka dot designs, the variety is endless.

Whether you want to keep it simple and subtle or go wild with an animal print, these fresh and flirty pants are great for every occasion. They can make any average outfit look uber chic. If you want to keep it safe then go casual yet trendy by pairing them up with a solid-coloured basic tank. However, if you are one of those fashionistas who love to make a style statement then dress ‘em up with a glitzy blouse or a gorgeous peplum top.

Skinny, wide-legged, palazzos or boyfriend-slacks, work it up in any shape or size you want and you are sure to get some heads spinning. A style tip for the sexy, curvaceous ladies; opt for larger prints and darker colours to give a more toned effect where as the petite can try out smaller and clustered prints. So what are you girls waiting for? Get your hands on them and turn on that swagger!
