My Face is up here, Can you please stop staring at my PANTS!

I had originally written this blog for an assignment for my creative fashion presentation class at FIT.  Then I realized that we were to do a Spring 2012 trend, not one for 2012.  But since I took the time and efforts to put this together and I dig the trend, Here It Is...

SPRING 2012 TREND REPORT: 
PRINTED PANTS

We've seen print pants hit the runway before, yet many have shunned the trend away in fear of seeming as if they were advocates of pajama daywear.  However, this year Designers are doing things differently....

To accommodate various body types and taste preferences, no style was left untouched.  This Spring's wide assortment of Printed Pants will surely appeal to many.

Print Pants has been reformulated.  With a slimmer fit and sheen fabric, these pants suit both the career woman and the lounge lady.  There is no limit to the styles available.  Here we see a skinny fit, boot cut, and a loose fit with a zipper accent.

Wide-leg Print Pants do not always translate into sleep wear.  To counter this perception, designers have chosen exotic prints such as this year's popular animal print.  To avoid overdoing the look, allow the pants to be the main focal point and pair with neutral or simple tops.
