An easy way to inject trend focus into your style, printed trousers are an update on classic trousers, with the freshest new colours and patterns from the catwalks. Right now, floral prints are a big favourite, alongside smart checks, sexy animal and free spirited paisleys.

Make an impact in printed trousers

Wide legged printed trousers can make a strong statement for evening dressing, especially if you want to move away from traditional evening dress styles. Opt for a luxurious silk pair that flow beautifully, in bold floral or abstract prints, then team with a simple camisole top and soft tailored jacket so that your trousers are the focal point. Printed trousers look equally great in cropped slim fitting and tapered peg leg shapes - these are easy to work into your everyday look to shake things up a bit. Two piece matching trouser suits in prints are big for women right now - opt for matching slim line printed trousers

Go boho with printed trousers

Loose and baggy fit printed trousers are a key piece for this season, all part of the boho trends. Go for aztec and patterned prints on linens and soft viscose, in styles with elasticated waists and ankles. Ideal for travelling and folk festival fashion, these light printed trousers can be worn with relaxed vest tops and women's flip flops and thong sandals, for a nomadic feel.
