Hi
GL readers! My name is Sloane and I
write the blog
Sailing
the Sea of Style. I blog about fashion, beauty and lifestyle. I am excited
to be sharing my tips on how to wear the hottest spring trends!
My favorite
season is coming up soon, which is spring. I am a big fan of color, and I love
to wear tons of bold hues during spring. I also love all kinds of prints:
floral, gingham, Ikat, chevron…you get the point. Recently, I've been buying bunches
of printed pants. I love the boldness of a statement pant and I think they are
surprisingly wearable. Today, I will be showing you how to incorporate them
into your everyday life: for school days, nights out and weekend fun. Keep
reading to see my tips!
SCHOOL:
At school,
rock a statement jean. This pair from F21 feature one of my favorite prints,
Ikat. The shocking color combo of black and neon yellow will surely have heads
turning in the halls. Pair it with a simple sleeveless black collared shirt to
tone down the neon, and keep the rest to a minimum. Add neutral accessories to
add contrast. Easy flats, a few bracelets and you’re positively perfect for school.

NIGHT OUT:
Be
glamorous this Friday night: High-waisted brocade bottoms are sure to be a hit!
The deep purple color is flattering on everyone’s skin tone. Add a neutral tee
to keep the look a little more relaxed. Finish off with chunky pumps in a
similar shade to keep the outfit semi-monochromatic.

WEEKEND:
You can
still be comfy and stylish. Instead
of tighter-than-tight skinny jeans, wear a loose-cut pant. I love a fun floral print—perfect
for Sunday shopping and brunch. Captoe flats are breezy, while a grey tank adds
to the "wearable pajamas look". A trendy necklace adds a smidge of
sparkle to complete the look.

SLOANE’S TOP
5 TIPS FOR WEARING PRINTED PANTS:
1: Wear a
neutral top.
2: Don't
overdo it on hair & makeup: Bright colors and bold pants are hard to pull
off together.
3: Pick the
right shoes.
4: Keep
jewelry to a minimum.
5: Buy the
perfect fit of printed pants for your body type. (Seek out skinny, relaxed or
bootcut options.)
I hope you
liked my first post with GL, and I look forward to sharing my next Spring
Trends post! Also, be sure to check out my blog Sailing the Sea of Style!
