How to wear printed pants

 
Printed pants...friend or foe?
 
In theory, we like the idea of something fresh in the pants category. On the other hand, printed pants are a very tricky trend indeed. If you pick the wrong pair, you wind up looking either like a kaleidoscope or an elephant. If done right, though, they can be a fun pop of individuality amongst otherwise bland bottoms. The bottom line is - when in doubt, go looser and limit the color palette to one or two colors...also break it up - we can't focus on print on top and on the bottom. The right pair of heels are another secret weapon to pulling off this look. In fact, the clear chunky heels that we've been seeing lately could be a great neutral companion to a printed pant.
 
Joe's Jeans makes a floral skinny jean version which are visually appealing in this photo. To avoid the sofa-like illusion recently created by Kim Kardashian's dress at the Met Gala, we suggest that you do NOT pair these jeans with a floral top.
