Fasion: At Paris Fashion Week, Printed Pants Made the Biggest Splash on the Streets

It is true that one of the standout trends seen on the Spring 2019 runways was monochrome, mainly beige and black. On the flip side, labels like Paco Rabanne and Koché gave us hypnotizing prints, which they stirred together brilliantly with patchwork and surprising layering techniques. And while certainly a cadre of showgoers adopted the more sober tones of the season—those mimicking Riccardo Tisci’s new Burberry in nude-colored ensembles, for example, or the crowd of Philophiles paying tribute to old Céline in their earth-colored trousers, knits, and accessories—there were plenty who went in the other direction. Specifically, printed pants of every make seemed to be the look du jour on the streets in Paris this past week.

There were paisley-print suits and boot-cut pants with bright zebra stripes. Some layered neon dresses and tops over their striped bottoms, while others mixed and matched with floral-print trousers. It was

as if they’d taken notes from the collections they’d just seen, those that highlighted the power of mashing up textures and varying motifs. It’s a bold wardrobe move for fall, but one worth paying attention to and investing in.

See below some of the street style.
