Styling Tips for Print Pants

Monday, June 18, 2012

Print pants, as I've mentioned before,vex me some, but since they're so popular right now, I thought I'd take a stab as styling a pair. I fell for this beautiful bird print from Oasis; unfortunately in the few days since I've styled these outfits, they've sold out. However, if you're still interested in this exact print, it's available as shorts, a tank, and a twee top.

My first tip for styling print pants starts before you ever buy them. Notice all the colors in the print. Part of the reasons I like these so much is all the warm flora against the cool grey background allows for a wide variety of styling options.

Now that you've found something you like, pull out one or two of those colors you noticed for your top. Here I drew off of the green and orange in the birds.

My final tip is physical balance. Prints can be loud, especially when they run the length of your legs. Use a neutral top with dramatic sleeves to keep your bottom from getting all the attention.
