Printed pants for spring and summer

Prints are always in vogue. They come in various colours and range from animal prints to pretty floral ones. Prints draw attention to your legs so it is easy to sport them wrong, but when paired right, you are sure to look your trendiest best. Here are our tips to sporting them...

Opt for a plain top: You don't want to go out looking like a table cloth, so when wearing printed pants, play it down with the top and choose one that is in the same colour as that of the prints. Pick stylish tops rather than simple ones for a sophisticated look. But always avoid figure hugging tops.

Team it up with accessories: Since your top will be plain, a pretty neckpiece works wonders to your outfit. But again, don't overdo it. Bracelets or watches are options for a casual look. Pair these withcolourful, but plain, handbags and wallets.

Neutral footwear: A pair of chic footwear in a nude colour looks best with printed pants -be it loafers, bellies or pumps. If your printed pants are of a neutral colour, such as black or white prints, choose footwear in hot colours and contrasts.

Go classy: Printed pants have even made their way into offices, so you can attempt to look formal by pairing it with a plain and light jacket at day and a darker one looks great for the night.

Makeup and hair: Dark shades of makeup are a big no. Ensure your makeup is neat, but your hair messy .A loose braid, side pony or hair let down works best. Tying up your hair gives you a serious look.
