Silk Pants

For an afternoon lunch outing in London, Kate Moss wore her signature all black, but this time she took the color formula to cooler heights by pairing a leather biker jacket with chic silky pants. A black V-neck tee, oversize square sunglasses, and classic black Christian Louboutin pumps ($625) meshed, while a gray satchel and small silver drop earrings added further interest. Re-create Kate's all-black look by matching your tough biker jacket with softer silky trousers, then finish off with black pumps for a classic ending.

After many glamorous front-row moments at New York Fashion Week, Kate Bosworth returned to LA with fiancé Michael Polish last night. But just because she took a long flight to get home doesn't mean she sacrificed her cool-girl aesthetic. For her journey, the actress wore loose-fitting silky printed pants by Joie with a sheer black tee, black suede square-heel pumps, and a crystal-embellished Miu Miu bag — shop the blue style here ($1,495). Aviator sunglasses, a black belt, and a delicate pendant necklace completed her airport style. Mimic Kate's casual-chic look by scoring the blue version of her Joie pants ($264) to pair with your basic tee and pumps.

We're thrilled to present our favorite story from Lucky!
From the innocuous (cloud-speckled Nick and Norah flannel pajama bottoms) to the completely outrageous (MC Hammer in all his harem-pant glory) to the just plain obnoxious (Kingpin, anyone?), printed pants tend to conjure up a bizarre montage of '90s-centric imagery. However, this season's crop of patterned trousers--while understandably intimidating--qualifies less as costume and more as refreshingly modern spring trend. And, surprisingly, these statement-making items are actually completely wearable. See below for options that are not only easy to pull off, but are entirely of this era.

1. Gap silky cropped pants, $39.99, gap.com
An abstract minuscule print in a mild black and white adds intrigue to a pair of breezy cropped silk trousers. Ideal with a blousy tank and lightweight skinny blazer.
2. Kookai Tropical Print Trousers, $108.94, us.asos.com
Happy, quirky and colorful--everything a print should be! A slightly subdued tropical or floral variety, like this pair from Asos, makes for a playful and unique weekend alternative.

3. Nic + Zoe, $97.20, zappos.com
Here, classic tailoring balances out a daring, somewhat loud print. Completely polished when coupled with a crisp white button-down and timeless ballet flats.
4. Forever21 high waist tribal pants, $19.90, forever21.com
Earthy tones make this tribal print almost come off as a neutral. Try pairing with a denim jacket and flat sandals for day, or with a dressy tank and heels for an evening out.
