It is true that one of the standout trends seen on the Spring 2019 runways was monochrome, mainly beige and black. On the flip side, labels like Paco Rabanne and Koché gave us hypnotizing prints, which they stirred together brilliantly with patchwork and surprising layering techniques. And while certainly a cadre of showgoers adopted the more sober tones of the season—those mimicking Riccardo Tisci’s new Burberry in nude-colored ensembles, for example, or the crowd of Philophiles paying tribute to old Céline in their earth-colored trousers, knits, and accessories—there were plenty who went in the other direction. Specifically, printed pants of every make seemed to be the look du jour on the streets in Paris this past week.

It’s a bold wardrobe move for fall, but one worth paying attention to and investing in.
