One Look - Two Ways | Printed Pants

Nothing says summertime fashion like prints.  Summer is a chance to play with bright, bold colours and mixes that you might not usually wear.  Here I show you two ways to wear, what has quickly become my favourite summer pant.  

When I first saw these palm leaf printed pants, I was hesitant.  They reminded my of a Florida retiree’s button down.   But I was so in love with the cut and fit that I couldn’t leave them behind.  Also, they are so incredibly comfortable, which is another reason they have become a favourite.

For the first look I paired my pants against a simple white woven tank.  I wanted to draw on the colours from the print, so I brought out the chartreuse in the palm leaves and complimented that with this coral clutch.  The look is playful and fun.  It’s casual and easy.

For the second look I took the same base pieces, including the shoes, and dressed it up.  I added this structured white vest to keep the look light, but it gives it a more polished vibe.  I also mixed prints with my stripe clutch.  The printed pants give this look a bit of an edge against the other minimal pieces.  

Also I should mention that my hair did change significantly between these two looks, so that also adds to the effect.
