Patterns are hot! Stripes, polka dots, florals, you name it! You can't help but notice the abundance of patterns. I really love them all, but when it came to patterned pants, I knew I wanted to stick to more neutral colors. I am not one of those people who can parade around in colorfully patterned pants and not feel self conscious. These pants were the perfect way for me to work the trend into my wardrobe while still feeling comfortable.
