Printed trousers are the fun way to get dressed for spring/summer – these are the best styles to shop now

By Harriet Davey

The thought of putting on real clothes is less daunting thanks to these printed party pants. 

As freedom creeps closer each day, the thought of going out and about as normal (or as close to) is keeping us all going. The thing is, though, this means putting on real life clothes. You know, the ones that have been collecting dust in your wardrobe as joggers take on the role of the most worn trousers you’ve ever owned. Sound familiar? We’ve all enjoyed the perks of loungewear; from the cosy material and oversized fit to that all-important stretch waistband. But now it’s time to ease yourself in to actual trousers. 

While you’re most likely not ready to jump straight into those hard, restricting jeans, you may be ready to embrace trousers once again. And fun, printed party pants are the joyful way to ease yourself in. 

This trouser style is hardly a wallflower, but you can pick how punchy your print is depending on your style. From more subtle ditsy florals and gingham to wild animal prints and bold flower patterns, these are the pants that’ll bring the party no matter the occasion. 

Keep going to see the lively printed trousers that’ll put the fun into getting dressed.
