Make a Statement with Bold Printed Pants and Sweet Bling

Today I want to cover one of my favorite trends EVER. I have lots of black and white tops in my wardrobe. I try to be bold when shopping at times, but when it comes down to what I will wear most, it’s black or white tops.

So when bold pants came into the scene, I hopped right on board. I would buy every color in bright denim to style with all of my blacks and whites. And now with every type of print possible on the market, I couldn’t be happier. Bold pants are such a fun way to add a statement to those neutral tops we all have in our wardrobe. With the purchase of even just 1 or 2 printed pants, those neutral tops that maybe seem too boring at times, can be transformed into a outfit for a casual occasion, or a night out.

I will wear printed pants to school, work, breakfast, shopping, a birthday dinner, and basically any time. What has been fun for spring is using these bold prints to step into the season. But of course with the Southern California weather – I will find an excuse to wear these year round.

With styling for this trend I wanted to show off a full look, and very simple to do off of a neutral top. The added elements—printed pants, and of course Sweet Bling.

While a simple tee would also do, here I am wearing a white Anthropologie sweater top by Boudreaux. This wide legged Gap pant has a subtle pinstripe print. The reason to feature this look is that I recommend these pants as a great investment piece in your wardrobe because pinstripe denim actually pairs flawlessly with many colors. So these are a good transition into the printed pants trend if you are more hesitant or looking for a more classic piece. And what ties these pieces together is the Sweet Bling Black Beaded Lariat Necklace. These lariats are still one of my favorite pieces with their canvas string and fun beads.

This next look was selected to show a perfect example of a more bold printed pant. These pants are high-waisted and make the wearer look long and lean with their blocked stripes. These are also a Forever 21 find for those who like to mix investment pieces with bargain pieces as I do. I often where white with these pants but with these perfect gold Hanging Square Earrings, I loved the contrast against this sheer black Nordstrom top.

For California cool layering, throw on a denim jacket and sandals. Or for tapered bottom printed pants, try out the bootie trend.
