Last week I was contacted by the gorgeous celebrity stylist Anya Sarre about doing a guest post on This Girl's Life. She just recently had her sweet baby boy and is spending more time blogging these days to spend precious time with her little man. I don't blame you mama, they are only little once and it goes too quick. There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity so today Anya will be sharing how to play with pattern using the ole so popular printed pants. Enjoy!!
Play with Pattern with Printed Pants for Fall!
This summer, we saw printed pants make a splash on the social scene. As any fashion-forward woman knows when something fits beautifully and looks great, you just want to keep wearing it. Well, printed pants have managed to capture our hearts and are making the transition from summer to fall. After all, fashion is all about bringing out a woman’s inner beauty!
Transitioning your printed pants from summer to fall is all about the color trends. Pastel colored prints are not as easy to work into your fall wardrobe as those with black and white prints. Are you shopping for new prints? Look for slim-fitting, tailored pants with a light or neutral colored print on a darker background. Keep your pants form fitting and ankle length.
Printed pants have many uses in the fall wardrobe, from the perfect look for weekend brunch and errands to a stylish office look. For a casual look that is big on style and comfort, pair your favorite printed pants with a comfortable sweater in a neutral or contrasting shade. Cinch the sweater around your waist with a wide belt. And don’t forget looks like the ankle-high boot or embellished flat are the perfect footwear giving comfort and a bit of a rustic-edge to your pants. Keep your jewelry simple with a gold or silver chain and a pair of small hoop earrings or simple studs.
On those warmer fall days, ditch the sweater for a long-sleeve tee or mock turtleneck in a rich, saturated tone. Jewel and earth tones work well in the fall, especially when paired with prints. Consider the on-trend color stories by incorporating shades of burgundy, navy and black into your look. Finish off the look with a fur vest, Chelsea boots or ankle booties and simple jewelry.
Printed pants are also a great way to incorporate some color and pattern into your fall work wardrobe. Purchase silky, feminine blouses in coordinating patterns and colors to pair with your favorite printed pants. Choose a neutral blazer or fitted cardigan to pull the look together and keep it office appropriate. Pair your ensemble with a pair of platform pumps or ankle booties. Dare to accessorize and allow your style to steal the show. Find the perfect pair of shoes and strut your stuff this fall! A thin, metallic necklace and simple earrings will keep your look polished and sophisticated and keep your ready for any occasion.
