So, I’ve been trying to add some flair to my wardrobe lately, and I thought, why not try out some printed trousers? I went shopping last weekend and found myself a bit overwhelmed with all the options. I mean, there were so many prints, from flowers to stripes and everything in between.
The Search
I started by looking at some floral prints. I always love a good floral design. The shop had a bunch of different colors and styles, but I noticed that the ones with bigger patterns made me look a bit bigger than I wanted. So, I decided to look for something with smaller, more spaced-out prints. Those seemed to work better for me.
Trying Them On
Next, I tried on a few pairs with stripes. Vertical stripes are supposed to make you look taller, right? Well, they did, but some of the bolder stripes were a bit too much for my taste. I ended up liking the ones with thinner stripes. They were more subtle but still added a nice touch.
High-Waisted vs. Regular
I also experimented with different waist styles. I’ve heard that ultra-high-waisted trousers are in style right now, and they really do make your legs look longer. I tried on a pair, and wow, they really accentuated my waist! But, I have to admit that I was more comfortable in some of the regular high-waisted ones. They still looked good but felt a bit more relaxed.
The Horseshoe Shape
There was this one pair with a curved, kind of horseshoe shape that I found interesting. I saw some people rocking these sculptural trousers, and they looked pretty cool. I gave them a try, and they were definitely a bold choice. They’re not something I’d wear every day, but they’re perfect for when I want to make a statement.
Fabric Matters
I also paid attention to the fabric. Some of the trousers were made of denim, which felt sturdy and looked great. Others were made of wool-blend fabrications or corduroy. The corduroy ones were super comfy and had a nice texture. I liked how versatile they were—you could dress them up or down depending on the occasion.
My Picks
After trying on what felt like a million pairs, I finally settled on a few that I really liked.
- I got a pair of high-waisted trousers with a small, spaced-out floral print. They’re perfect for spring and summer.
- I also picked up a pair with thin vertical stripes. They make me look a bit taller, and they’re great for both casual and more formal outfits.
- And because I couldn’t resist, I grabbed those horseshoe-shaped trousers in a wool blend. They’re definitely a statement piece, and I can’t wait to wear them out.
Final Thoughts
Overall, it was a fun but tiring shopping experience. I learned a lot about what kind of prints and styles work for me. If you’re thinking about trying printed trousers, I say go for it! Just remember to try on different styles and see what makes you feel good. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and have fun with it. I know I did, and I’m really happy with my new trousers!
