SS13 TREND #4 - Printed Trousers

Despite everyone's thoughts, there's no denying that printed trousers are everywhere right now, and I think at one point all of us bloggers will be rocking a pair. So, let's embrace them, and find pieces which are most suited to us.

Printed trousers can be hard to pull off, depending on body shape, the print and the colour. However, as long as you find the right pair for you, they will be one of the most flattering and on trend items in your wardrobe to date.

I myself would favour the skinnier, tregging style trousers over the baggier ones, due my wide hips but long legs. If you have skinnier legs, then the cigarette style trousers look great on you, and you can really explore with the brighter, more crazy prints. If you have short legs, go for a daintier print in a slimmer style fit, as it will draw less attention and elongate the legs.

What are your views on printed trousers? Will you be giving it a go for Spring / Summer '13?

Tomorrow's post will feature the final look of my SS13 trend guide: Embellishments and Foil.

SS13 in trends YOU can wear

It's very easy to go to a fashion show and watch all of the beautiful new season trends displayed out in front of you. However, most of these catwalk looks are designed purely as inspiration, and to the average twenty something girl, are not a true representation of a wearable look. I'm talking about triple neon, £1000 price tags for the necklace alone or haute couture adaptations of the latest trend. 

I thought it would be cool to make some inspiration boards to sum up the SS13 trends, by using items that are readily available online, and well within an average salary's budget. 

I'm going to be posting one look a day for five days, based on the trends I have picked up from some fashion shows I have been to recently. I have researched the length and breadth of the high street retail market, and picked some of my favourite pieces for each trend. Obviously I am not saying this is how to wear the trend, and by no means would I ever wear eveything in the boards all at once (pastel overload!) but   it will hopefully give you all some ideas of how you can affordably instantly update your wardrobe for Spring / Summer.

The looks I will be posting are:

Highlighter Chic

Monochromatic

Dainty Pastels

Printed Trousers

Embellishments & Foil
