Zara floral trousers / Monki top / Topshop cami / Mango leather ankle boots / Mango ankle strap sandals / ASOS black earrings / Next flower statement necklace
Again, the reason why I think patterned trousers are a bit of a wardrobe staple is that you can wear them however you want. For the daytime I'd go for a plain jumper and necklace in keeping with the colour scheme - I actually bought this one from Next in bright blue around 6 months ago and I wear it loads! I find that it's so useful for adding a bit of something extra to an outfit and at £10 it's not a bad price at all. I also live in ankle boots at this time of year and a classic black pair would finish off the look nicely.
For the evening, cami tops are everywhere at the moment and I can understand why. They're flattering and so simple to throw on when you're having a 'I hate everything in my wardrobe and have NOTHING TO WEAR!' stress before an evening out. You could opt for a slight tuck-in at the front just to keep a bit of shape to the silhouette, but again, keep it simple with some strappy black heels. Anyone who knows me knows I love a statement necklace but big, costume jewellery-style earrings are another great option for dressing up a basic outfit.
I'm a big fan of wearing one statement piece and keeping everything else nice and simple. Patterned trousers can look great in the summer, but I've had my eye out for some that I could wear in Autumn and Winter for a while - something not too garish and minus those pockets which stick out and give me a Nicki Minaj hip/thigh area (in a really bad way). I finally found this pair of Zara floral print trousers at the weekend and I'm so happy with them. The muted colours mean that they won't be too over the top for the colder months and I love the tapestry feel of the print. They're a heavyweight cotton material so should keep me fairly toasty too.

So, if you're looking for an alternative to your average pair of jeans or plain tailored trouser but don't want to risk looking like you're rocking a bermuda print in November, a more subtle pattern provides a world of opportunities!
