Trendspotting: Printed Pants

Need another fun way to mix up your work wardrobe?  Throw on some cropped trousers in a fun print for a fresh look:

Michelle Monaghan in a black tank and Tucker's high-waist trousers with a Dannijo statement necklace, tasseled Coach tote and Christian Louboutin pumps; Kristen Stewart in Balenciaga’s yellow motorcycle jacket, printed trousers and leather boots; Berenice Bejo in polka-dot pants, a black blouse with a perforated collar, bold cuff and sparkling minaudiere from Louis Vuitton.

When paired with a simple top and shoes, pants in a bold print are a fun and surprising look.  I love the way print is so unexpected, yet still totally appropriate when styled correctly.  Tread carefully, however - over accessorizing or adding an equally bold top will make it look more night out than day at the office.


Here are some similar pants so that you can make this look your own:
