Trend spotting – Printed pants are heating up the summer months
Zoe Saldana stuns in colorful Prabal Gurung floral print pants
We’re knee deep into the summer months and we’re continuing with our trend spotting duties this week with a bold look taking over the carpet. Gone are the days of simple streamlined trousers, these days it’s all about bringing a little edge and a bit of funk to your look — courtesy of printed pants. From floral to ikat, denim to billowing shorts, stars are opting for something different when it comes to bottoms this summer. Here are some of our favorite looks so far.
Minka Kelly adds a bit of an edge to her floral print pants with a leather top
Style tip: As fun and funky as this trend is, keep in mind that print on the bottom sometimes has the tendency to make you look bigger than you are (especially with denim) and even the tiniest person has to keep this in mind. Check out Olivia Palermo’s look below for a great way to incorporate this trend. Her high-waisted, ankle length trousers are a great play on print and proportion. The fit is great, the print doesn’t overwhelm her small frame and the material doesn’t cling to every inch of her body. Zoe Saldana’s shorts look below is also simple, elegant and incredibly easy to wear. One last thing to remember with this trend is to always keep things simple on top. The bottom is the focal point of your look and therefore your statement piece. If you’re going with color, pick one color from the print and go for a top that features that block of color. This is a great way to tie your whole look together.

Style Pick – Going 70s chic in wide leg pants
Heather Locklear, Elle McPherson and January Jones stay stylish in wide leg jeans.
Wide leg pants have been elongating legs since the 70s. There’s an effortless “chic” about this style that allows women to look elegant without sacrificing any of their femininity. Part of the perks of this cut is that it makes you feel tall and lean. Stars like Elle McPherson, Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, January Jones and Katie Holmes who all range from super petite to super tall have all rocked this style. This shows that most women can get away with it, it’s just about finding the right material, length, width and fit.
Even pregnant women can look fabulous in this cut. Jessica Alba looked uber chic while running errands in wide leg jeans and a blazer.
January Jones goes casual chic in stripes and her favorite wide leg denim pants.
Katie Holmes plays up her tall frame in wide leg Max Mara trousers and double breasted jacket.
Clearly the cut works for her - Here's Holmes again in wide leg jeans and an embellished Isabel Marant jacket.
Penelope Cruz cuffs her wide leg jeans.
Glee's Jayma Mays in High-Waisted Wide leg J Brand Denim.
This cut has also been incorporated into one of summer’s hottest trends – jumpsuits.
Ashley Greene in a Max Mara wide leg jumpsuit.
Rosie Huntington Whiteley in a wide leg Michael Kors jumpsuit.
Keep in mind - There is such a thing as too much fabric and too much width especially if you’re petite. This cut like I mentioned earlier is meant to make you taller and leaner, not shrink you. Hilary Duff’s look below is a prime example of how not to wear wide leg pants.
Hilary Duff's wide leg trousers unfortunately have too much material and do absolutely nothing for the expectant actress. They distort her figure and instead of looking stylish, they look clownish.
Test driving this style…
As a tall girl, it’s always been a bit difficult for me to find jeans with inseams that work for me, so wide leg denim pants have been my BFFs for a long time. Here’s one of my favorite dark blue wide legs paired with a white v-neck and a double breasted blazer.

Trend spotting: The return of the jean jacket
Anna Lynne McCord and Emmy Rossum rock their favorite jean jackets
The jean jacket trend survived through the 80s and the 90s…popped collars, acid wash rinses and all. After taking a few years off, it’s back with a stylish vengeance. No crazy cartoon characters on the back and definitely no sequins or embellishments attached. Just the good old fashioned jean coolness. The popped collars still remain but we can live with that. As always, Hollywood has caught on to the return of the jean jacket. Below, check out some stylish ladies interpreting this classic piece and putting their own spin on it. Tell us what you think of the jean jacket revival….are you ready to dig yours out of the 90s closet?
