Printed Pants, Two Ways

Prints, patterns and bright colors draw attention to body parts. If you are blessed with lean legs, why not highlight them with a pair of patterned pants? The easiest way to style them is with neutrals. If the print is light colored, like the rhombic printed jeans on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (above right), then choose neutrals like white, cream, beige and light grey, whereas for dark patterns, go with navy, black or chocolate brown. Still too much to think about? Choose stripes or polka dots with equal (or near enough) amount of white and black.

In Chinese: 我们都知道要运用衣服去扬长避短,把亮色或图案放在你想突出的部位。如果你有一双修长的美腿,大胆尝试印花裤吧,选择条纹等有现代感的几何图案比较不会过时。最简单的搭配就是像上面的这两个来自超模罗西·汉丁顿-惠特莉(Rosie Huntington-Whiteley)的造型,用低调的中性色单品去衬托裤装的主角地位。如果裤子是浅色图案,选择白色、米色、浅灰等中性色的单品,同样,如果是深色印花,或以黑色为背景的印花,则选择深蓝、黑或深棕色来搭配,整体效果会更和谐。不想考虑这么多的话,就选黑白面积相同的条纹或圆点吧!

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
