Abstract spirals and optical illusions can be seen more and more often in street style, but also on the runways of the big fashion houses. Restrained, monotonous jeans looks will be replaced this autumn by flashy and gaudy prints. The hippie trend of eye-catching trousers from the 60s and 70s is back!
The psychedelic pants (also known as psychedelic pants) are celebrating their big comeback and will bring a lot of color into our wardrobe this fall. The patterns have their origin in the flower power movement from San Francisco at the end of the 1960s. But we do not only know the trend from fashion, the psychedelic trend is also not unknown in the art and music scene. A case in point is The Beatles’ music video “Yellow Submarine”.
Psychedelic Pants: How Bold is the Trend?
It didn’t take long before the trend of stripped-off trousers had made it from the catwalk to the streets of the fashion metropolises. From cotton to denim – they are made from a wide variety of materials – we don’t even want to begin with colors and patterns. But how can we carry this dizzying trend in such a way that the labyrinthine spirals and patterns are properly staged? One thing is certain: the right combination is essential here. Too much is really too much here.
It’s all about the balance baby!
Kylie Jenner shows how it is done by combining the striking trousers with a simple white crop top and a handbag that picks up on the blue of the trousers. The psychedelic pants are still a real eye-catcher, but due to the simple top, the eye-catching bottom doesn’t look too much.
Let’s go monochrome!
Model Helena Beckmann shows another way to wear the trend. Here, the patterned pants are kept in a monochrome look with a blouse and shoes. The dynamics of the pants are balanced and transformed into a noble look.
It’s a match!
If you want to dare the full look, the psychedelic pants can also be combined with a matching top. With a black oversized blazer, the matching outfit is casually upgraded and styled for autumn.
And another plus point
The colorful trousers are not only an eye-catcher in themselves, the comfortable cut of the trousers makes them a real trend piece for the colder months. These are bell-bottoms that are not cut that wide. It is important that you style them with a piece of clothing in restrained colors and thus create a contrast to the colorful print.
