Last week I featured the top 10 tropical buys this season so to link this key trend with another – printed trousers – here are four ways to wear one pair of these surprisingly flattering pants. They aren’t as difficult to style as you might think and they are super versatile and a great alternative to jeans. Use these looks as a style guide and see what similar pieces you already have in your wardrobe to recreate the looks.

Mamas-to-be
If you’re pregnant these looks would work just as well with a bump and a simple pair of printed trousers make for a comfy but chic take on maternity style.
