ELLE Edit: Printed Trousers That Will Let Your Legs Do The Walking And The Talking
Sometimes your clothes make the loudest noise
Printed trousers can be a hit and miss item of clothing. Get the floral wrong, or the cut, and you risk looking twee and, sorry to break it to you, a little bit old. But printed trousers also have their moments too and it's all in the choice of motif, the cut and the fabric. A pair of printed sequinned trousers, a la Halpern or Etro, and you'll be the coolest belle of the ball at a glamorous evening soiree. A pair of fluid, soft silk printed trousers, in a wide leg, can be effortlessly chic. And matching pyjama style sets are, of course, all the rage.
Here is ELLE's edit of the best printed trousers, for a fashion-forward approach to the item this season...
