Geometric, floral, animal, aztec, tye-dye, it's the perfect way to wear prints without it overtaking you and your look. With the print on the bottom half one is able to match back their most flattering hues around the face to create a look that suits. Cue inspiration....

Nautical meets military in stunning Cobalt graphics.
With so many stunning takes on this trend it's easy to get overwhelmed. I'd suggest sticking to a proven style that flatters ones shape, be it structured or flowing, tapered or straight. I've found sticking to a black and white base makes it easy to mix it back with your favourite colour...
M.E.L 3/4 Abstract Pant in garden print (left) and grid print (right). Renowned for their uber flattering pants, this style features a side zip for a smooth finish and straight 3/4 leg.
My favourite style in prints- the silky tapered pant. Animal print continues to pop up on catwalks and fashionistas everywhere. Try it in neutral tones for understated cool. From left to right, Luxe Deluxe Paw Print Pant, Mela Purdie Moroccan Paisley Pant, Me I Am by Mela Purdie Ombre Relaxed Pant, all in 100% Silk.
To get the look on a budget try the 7/8 Legging by Vassalli. In a stretchy cotton spandex with a comfy pull on waist, I'll be grabbing the Snow print (right) and teaming it with some tribal studs and feathers for a gypsy rocker look. Or perhaps I'll get the Splash Print (right) and wear it with a faded denim shirt... Then again at $109.95 maybe I'll just get both!
