‘Just because everyone else does doesn’t mean you should’ is an old adage, often spoken by angry mothers wagging fingers, but shelve that thought for now; because printed trousers are so hot that Stella’s doing it , JW Anderson’s doing it as are Mary Katrantzou and the boys at Peter Pilotto . Choosing the print and cut that’s right for your taste and shape is the only challenge. Your printed trousers may feel bold at first, but styled with a crisp white pixie collared shirt and blazer they can be worn to the office. There’s a plethora of prints to choose from, there are florals (both ditzy and bold), paisley, which is also key, as are polka dots and pyjama stripes. The final tip…to be worn with heels.
