Printed Pants for Work
The boardroom doesn’t have to be a wash with block colours. As much as we love the black suit for 9-5, we can’t deny our willingness to experiment when it comes to tailoring. It’s time to welcome printed pants to the trouser department. They make the perfect partner to your work wardrobe.
DOTS TO DOTE ON
Polka dot pants take us back to the sweet sixties; they’re playful, timeless and forever chic. Avoid clashing prints when it comes to polka dot – no one wants to risk looking like a life size Minnie Mouse. Instead, choose a plain, simple backdrop in softer shades to complement the spots of colour. We’re styling ours with a billowy blouse for boardroom to bar practicality.
CHECKMATE
Checked pants are great for making a statement. Choose from Prince of Wales, houndstooth and grid patterns to shake things up. Styling advice? Let them take centre stage and offset the design with a neutral hued top or black jumper. If you’re mixing your checked pants with contrasting prints and patterns, wear with confidence – it’s essential.
SLIM VS WIDE
Getting the right fit is key when wearing printed trousers to work. Slim silhouettes can be balanced with oversized profiles on top. Right now, we’re loving a dress layered over skinny pants. While culottes and wide leg pants work best with fitted knitwear and tucked in tops. It’s fine to bring a touch of colour into the mix via heels or accessories if it feels right. Love both?
