Colourful Trousers

How striking a pair of trousers looks is decided by the interplay of its shades. A pattern of sand, caramel and chocolate tones can remain pleasantly subtle because the colours lie close together. When pink, orange and cream meet, however, the look gets noticeably more energy. Delicate watercolour shades recall sunny gardens and make even generous prints appear light. The design changes the impression too: small, flowing ornaments look different from bold geometric areas or wide zigzag patterns. Whether you love eye-catching colourful trousers or are approaching patterns gently – choose the play of colours that suits you.

Strolling through town, travelling or meeting friends, floral motifs and lively colour mixes can unfold their full effect. For garden parties and summer dinners, printed satin or chiffon trousers become a special ensemble with an elegant top and sandals. At the office, understated patterns in muted colours work well, complemented by a shirt blouse and blazer – as long as the dress code leaves room for fashion. For very formal business appointments, funerals or invitations with a strict dress code, bold leisure prints are best saved for other occasions. Here, the occasion and the desired restraint determine the choice.
