Style: What to Wear with Patterned Pants?

Patterned "busy" pants and jeans * can be pretty tricky to pull off! You have to find the shirt that matches a print JUST right and the search to find the top that matches the most difficult & exotic pair of pants can turn out to be very expensive. In most cases, it's best to go with a simple design and/or solid color. I've included some ideas below for inspiration. You may already have some of these more basic looks in your closet (which saves you some $). If not, they'll at least make practical investment pieces.

The possibilities are endless and express your personal style - just look at how differently Rose Byrne, Kristin Stewart, & Marion Cotillard styled the look!

Let's make a game of it!
