I had done some research before going and knew I very much liked the wide legged pants that are part of the current swim line. My favorites are the Trina Turk Moroccan Medallion Roll Top pants
, the Trina Turk Shangri La pants
, and the Trina Turk Montezuma pants
.
I liked them all but ended up choosing the Trina Turk Montezuma pants
because they were long enough (unfortunately, the others were just a bit too short). I’m glad I picked them though as the turquoise in the pants matches one of my bathing suits perfect. And the more I look at the colorful print, the more I like it! I took the pants with me on our trip to the California Central Coast. But, unfortunately, it was just a bit too cold to hang out at the pool. 
While I originally had only intended to wear the pants around the pool and on vacation, I decided to give them a try in everyday life during a casual weekend outing as I realized that they are really very much like the pajama-style pants that are currently popular. The pants are definitely “loud,” and I feel a bit out of my element, but I like them and they make me feel alive.
Questions: Do you own any “loud” pants? If so, when do you wear them?

Thanks, Jaymie!
DeleteI love your pants, Andrea! When I was younger, I wore loud, wild colors and prints. I still dress stylish, but a bit toned now now.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol! I don't wear a lot of loud clothes but add some to the mix once in a while...
DeleteThose pants are so pretty, I love all of the colors and you styled them so well! I always have a hard time styling printed pants!!

Thanks, Carrie! I definitely decided to keep the rest of my outfit simple as the pants are so loud... I also tried them with a white tee and a denim jacket and liked that look, too.
DeleteI think you've styled them great---the white doesn't compete and it's good to be noticed!!
ReplyDeleteI usually love Trina Turk's clothing...and these are no exception!!

Thanks, Jodie! Trina Turk has so many great pieces! I could have honestly taken home 80% of the store...
Deletethey're so fun and I love how you styled them. Beautiful colors and they look like they'd be so comfy!
ReplyDeleteSimply Shaunacey
Thanks, Shaunacey! And, yes, they are very comfy!
DeleteOh, wow! I am so loving these pants. The colors and abstract pattern are amazing. I wore a pair of bright palazzo pants for the first time this week and could not get over how comfy they were. I paired mine with a bright tee, tassel necklace and sandals.
ReplyDeleteThanks, J. Elle! I think I'll wear them a lot more than I originally thought because they are so comfortable... :-)
DeleteYou pulled off these bold palazzo pants very well, such a fun print! They also look super comfy which is always a bonus. Have a great weekend:)

OK...fabulous! I love those pants on you - the color, styling, fit - well done! I love that you can wear them beyond the pool, my kind of piece!

Thanks, Jill!
DeleteAre you kidding me? They look great on you and are perfect for the warm months. I gather that you must be taller than tall me ( 5'2") and so you have no problem pulling this look off. I would be swimming in them. Not that I care but I can't wear them outside. I don't own any loud pants but I used to have a loud shirt long ago. Oh how I loved that shirt. Unfortunately I wore it out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm almost 5'11" and some of the pants in the swim line were actually too short for me... Isn't it sad when we have to let go of a favorite item because it's past its prime...
DeleteSuch fun pants, and you wear them so well! I love that these wide leg pants are in style!

Thanks, Rachael! And, yes, wide leg pants are a lot of fun!
DeleteI do own one pair of loud pants - most of the time I wear them with a one plain color top as I feel that if the top is too fuzzy busy it will not work. However I have to admit I'd like to wear them with a patterned top, see if I can pull that off !
ReplyDeleteGreat trousers, I think you wore them well.
Thanks, Lorena! Pairing the pants with white felt pretty safe, but I am also thinking of what else I can wear them with and may get a bit more adventurous...
DeleteAndrea I love loud anything, as I'm sure you know! These pants are to die for and I think you should wear them all summer long. You look utterly fab in them, particularly in that shot with you and the Toy Story posterx
ReplyDeleteAnna

Thanks, Anna! I have a feeling I'll be wearing them a whole lot more than I had originally thought... :-)
DeleteYour pants are a colour aficionado's dream, Andrea. The print and the palette, so bold and graphic. Unapologetic and that's how things ought to be. I doubt I'd ever wear something like that myself because I'm almost an entire foot shorter than you but I certainly wouldn't turn down the opportunity should a capri version makes itself known :)
ReplyDeletep/s I really appreciate that you link up with me each time, Andrea, so cool of you xoxo
Thanks, Sheela! I really love the boldness of the print. It's good to be unapologetically bold once in a while... :-)
DeleteThanks for the link up. I always love your bold outfits (and insanely awesome shoes!), and I admire your writings even more!
Those pants are definitely "loud" but I love these kinda pants especially for the summer! I have some similar ones and they are so comfy too! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration #5!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are very comfortable! :-)
DeleteYou look stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks elegant.
Thanks, Kereta!
DeleteThose palazzo pants look great on you - the white tops are just perfect to let the pants shine! :) Glad you could come up with another way to wear them.
ReplyDeleteI think my pink leopard print jeans are the 'loudest' pants I own - I need more nice printed pants!

Thanks, Mica! Yes, my goal was to let the pants take center stage... :-)
DeleteHappy Mother's Day!
Andrea, these pants are fabulous and you wear them so well! I love loud pants! I often dislike the way prints look near my face, so when I'm in the mood for a bold print, I usually choose pants. Today, for Mother's Day, I am wearing coral paisley pants...they are bold, they are bright, and they are definitely loud. And I feel great in them. Keep rocking your loud pants because they are fantastic!

Yes, Trina Turk has fabulous prints! I could have brought most of the store home... :-)
DeleteI love the pants you chose, they look great on you! I used to have a pair of black pants with vertical white stripes and horizontal red stripes, I wore them whenever I could. They were so much fun! Your pants would look great at the pool, or in this casual look! You nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nikki! Your pants sounds very cool!
DeleteThese palazzo pants are loud and bright but so fabulous nevertheless. I love the work of colorful art in them. They look great with the white topper.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ada! They make me happy! :-)
DeleteI am SOOOOOO digging these pants! I love that you decided to wear them for more than just the pool. They're too doggone cute to keep to the pool!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Regina! And you are right, the pants really deserve to be worn more often than just to the pool... :-)
DeleteI love this look and specially your colorful pants. They smells of summer
ReplyDeleteI love your style and your blog too.
