Outfit Inspiration: Colourful Trousers

Spring/Summer 2011 dressing is all about playing with bright, attention-grabbing colours. As seen at Jil Sander, Prada and a variety of other catwalk shows, a pair of colourful trousers is key to the current colour blocking trend, whether that be a crisply tailored pair or a loosely tapered pair of chinos. Seen regularly on the streets, this trend requires you to mix up your colour palette, so go for a clashing, bold colour on your top half and don't skimp on the accessories either- oversized necklaces and bright clutch bags are the best ways to finish off this look. Below are some instances of where we've already spotted colourful trousers, as well as a few pairs which will have you on your way to colour blocking bliss.
