This week we bring you three iterations of our favorite closet staple:

What we thought of as a passing frenzy has come to establish itself as a major trend. There is no denying that the printed pants trend is far from over. From the runways to the streets, these fabulously fresh pants have claimed their place amongst the hottest trends of the year and like everyone else, we too are swooning over these eclectic pants. The graphic-print bottoms are dramatically bold, super versatile and trendy enough to take you from summer well into the autumn season.

The busy prints can be a bit overwhelming so when it comes to styling your dazzling bottoms opt for simpler pieces, letting your printed pants do all the leg work for you. Playful and colorful, our selection of these eye-catching bottoms will help you end your summer with a bang and enter the new season with a pep in your step:

  1. Shop Nineteen Divine Sash Pants (Rs. 1099): A scarf like paisley pattern proves what’s good for your neck is great for your gams. For a season appropriate evening ensemble, don sleek heels, a black top and a statement spike necklace to offset the loud trouser print.
  2. Mango Paisley Print Trousers (Rs. 2790): For those of us who love the classic black & white pairing but are looking for something chic & interesting, enter the paisley printed pant. For a work appropriate polished look, team it with a fitted black button down and a pair of low heeled sling backs preferably in black. Amp up the trousers for an evening soiree by swapping the black button down with a sheer balck chiffon top and a higher heel in a brighter hue like a siren red or fierce fuchsia.
  3. Zara Bulldog Print Trousers (Rs. 2390): One-part sporty, one-part bold, and one-part quirky, these bulldog printed trousers (they have another one in owl print) make for a playful and unique weekend alternative. We are dying to pair them with a slouchy tee and a pair of patent leather loafers.
  4. Vero Moda Houndstooth Trousers (Rs. 3000 approx): The earthy tones of this houndstooth pattern below leaves plenty of room for bold color up top. Try pairing it with a band tee and embellished sandals for the day, or with a dressy tank and heels for an evening out.
  5. Mango Diffused Print Trousers (Rs. 2290): The classic tailoring of these pants balances out a daring, somewhat loud print. Keep it sophisticated for the day with a simple white tee and ballet flats & elevate the outfit to an evening status with a healthy dose of sparkle in a casual silhouette like a black sequin tank. Remember to keep your accessories understated and ultra-chic to pull off the print & glitz combo.
  6. Rock In Print Trousers (Rs. 2799): An abstract minuscule print in a subtle hue makes these printed pants just polished enough for your 9-to-5 routine. Ideal with a blousy top and a lightweight blazer during the day, these pants can transition seamlessly into your evening affairs by just switching your everyday work heels with a pair of chunky platform sandals and a bold clutch.
  7. Zara Jacquard Loom Trousers (Rs. 3790): Feeling the printed trend, but not necessarily the bold colors? Ty these jacquard finish pants - the slight shimmer makes them festive but the muted color palette keeps them appropriate for day wear. Let the pants take center stage by teaming them with a black silk blouse and a pair of sleek pumps. For an edgier evening out, partner them with another print in a similar color scheme and finish off with a pair of sexy cage heels to add intrigue to your look.
  8. Promod Print Trousers (Rs. 2290 approx): The gorgeous color scheme and groovy print of these pants will take you anywhere from a weekend brunch to an evening of bar hopping with friends. For a more casual vibe go with a bright blue sleeveless top, a armful of mixed bracelets and a preppy cross body bag. To dress up your printed look, opt for a silky top in a darker hue, a pair of metallic heels and a chunky statement necklace.
