Swap Your Sweatpants For The Printed Pants Trend, Stat

printed pants fall fashion trend

After a brief hiatus from our lives (we're looking at you, COVID), pants are becoming a lot more fun to wear again. Printed pants with checker patterns, swirls, and zebra print have become our latest obsession. Though these bright and bold patterns may seem intimidating to wear at first, all you need is a simple t-shirt and some sneakers to make an outfit out of them. And once you've tested the waters, you can play with more creative color and layer pairings — you'll be surprised how often you opt for this trend for both casual looks and work outfits! If you've spent the last year in pajama pants, it's time to start swapping them for real pants, by way of these playful picks.

Glassons Check High Rise Straight Leg Ponte Pant ($40)

Two of our favorite trends (lime green and checker print), a comfortable waistline, a tailored fit, and an affordable price tag? Yes, please.

Love + Harmony Water Paint Pant ($74)

If you're still not sure about so much bold color, a neutral swirl is a safer way to try out the trend.

Nasty Gal Marble Print Wide Leg Pants ($30)

A satin effect makes the trend look (and feel) even more luxe.

Miaou Lou Pants ($265)

Because cow print is also trending — and we are all about sampling from outside our comfort zone when it comes to fashion!

Reformation Marble High Rise Straight Long Jeans ($188)

Investing in a quality pair of jeans means you won't have to give up the trend in just a few months.

Ganni High Waist Zebra Print Straight Leg Jeans ($265)

Talk about fierce. Pair these statement pants with a black t-shirt and loafers for an instant cool-girl look.

Maeve Kick Flare Pants ($98)

To interpret the trend for the office, a graphic print in black and white makes for a professional compromise.

House of Sunny Hibiscus Aarons Pants ($128)

Don't give up on summer just yet! Wear these adorable knit pants with tank tops now and sweaters later.

Good American Good Classic Ink Swirl ($169)

Good American just dropped an entire collection of swirly staples, and the denim pants are naturally our top pick.

STATE Animal Print Plissé Flare Pants ($79)

Combine prints with the plissé pant trend for extra oomf (and comfort!).

Hosbjerg Vilma Liquid Pants ($182)

These are the very definition of a statement-making pant.

Nasty Gal Abstract Check Jersey Flare Pants ($19)

A fresh take on summer's checker trend, in a hue that goes even better with your fall wardrobe.

Kim Shui Multicolor Mesh Pants ($198)

Whether for a daring evening look or a breathable beach cover up, these bold mesh pants will guarantee a good time.

Find Me Now River Jacquard Pant ($116)

Really, knit pants are glorified sweatpants, and we're absolutely okay with that when they come in fun prints like these.

Urban Renewal Remnants Abstract Flared Pant ($49)

These will go perfectly with chunky boots and cozy fall sweaters.

The Ragged Priest Dad Jeans ($98)

For adding a little pizazz to your denim drawer, and your life.

However, not every black dress is THE black dress. Since there are so many out there, I scoured through hundreds of dresses to find the best of the best — and the ones that are the most loved by fellow shoppers! So, keep reading to see which black dress should be your next trusty purchase!

Ann Taylor

The Scoop Neck Sheath Dress

This is a quintessential little black dress! Between the scoop neck and the knee-length skirt, you could wear this just about anywhere! I definitely see this as your next office siren slay, but I wouldn't blame you if you pulled it out for date night, jury duty, or anything in-between!

J.Crew

J.Crew Fitted Knit Mockneck Dress

A mockneck dress is so perfect for transitional seasons like fall! It covers just enough, while still allowing you to layer your outfit appropriately for the weather. I especially love that this J.Crew dress could easily be worn on your stroll through the farmer's market, or in your next boardroom meeting.

Dôen

Dôen Ischia Dress

If you ever wondered what my most worn item of clothing was, then here you have it! This Dôen dress genuinely makes me want to get dressed every morning — I'm not even kidding. It's an easy outfit to throw on and not have to think about, plus it's insanely comfortable! I honestly feel like I'm wearing pajamas, and I'm sure it'll easily become your most worn piece of clothing as well!

Reformation Arabella Dress

Black midi dresses are a great way to create a solid, comfortable, and cozy outfit for the fall and winter. You just need to accessorize it well with a coat, belt, boots, and slouchy bag. This one from Reformation is super well-loved by many, and I can see why. It's great quality — and it's actually one of their lower-priced items! Score!

Nordstrom

Reformation Mayve Black Dress

A little, cutesy mini dress is all a girl really needs in her wardrobe. Well, that and some adorable accessories to go with it! A mini dress with a matching bag and boots combination is one of my favorite looks in the fall, because it's just so fashionable, and so easy to style.

Target

Wild Fable Women's One Shoulder Maxi Slip Dress

Target never lets me down, so I'm not surprised they have a fantastic black dress for us to pick from today! I love this elegant neckline — it's so sleek and sophisticated! This dress sizing goes up to a 4x, making it a great option for a wide range of bodies, too.

Madewell

Madewell Ruffled One-Shoulder Midi Dress

I can totally picture this little ruffled number at a Friday night wedding! It's a flowy, feminine look that would pair so well with some black heels, silver jewelry, and a sleek low bun. It gives you something elegant to wear with enough movement to totally take over the dance floor throughout the night.

Free People

Free People Butterfly Maxi

I love a good patterned dress, and I've seen this one all over social media lately! It went pretty viral for being extremely flattering, and I've seen it look good on so many different body types. I'm currently been debating picking this one up, and seeing all the rave the reviews for it makes me convinced!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Somerset Maxi Dress

This dress from Anthropologie has a ton of reviews, so it's safe to say that it is definitely a popular "little black dress" contender. I love how elevated yet casual this dress is at the same time — it gives you so much versatility! You can style it up with heels, or even style it down with sandals, depending on the occasion. The velvet is also fabulous given how perfect it is for the fall transition into winter — it'll be here before we know it!

J.Crew

J.Crew Collection Lace-Trim Slip Dress

This screams "date night dress" loud and clear! I love how sexy and mature this black dress is, complete with lace trim, spaghetti straps, and sleek satin. Grab your strappiest heels and a red lipstick to make it a night to remember!

Anthropologie

Significant Other Long Sleeve Dress

This dress is for all my ladies on the hunt for a modest dress option this wedding season! This long sleeve, maxi dress is a great option — and has plenty of reviews to prove how incredible it is! Personally, I would pair this dress with some statement, sparkly heels to go with the matching clutch as pictured above. You'll be sure to shine in this stunner.

Ann Taylor

Ann Taylor Boatneck Pleat Front Belted Sheath Dress

This is another fantastic, classic black dress. I'd throw this on for a big presentation in front of the C-levels at your office, or accessorize á la Blair Waldorf for a preppy everyday look. Either way, you're sure to look gorgeous!

Reformation

Reformation Rayana Dress

I love having one good, reliable wedding guest dress that can be used just about every time. It seriously helps divert the impending stress of buying a new dress every time you get invited to yet another wedding. Trust me: the invites just keep coming as you get older. This dress is that perfect option, giving you something silky, luxurious, and flattering to wear every time!

Nordstrom

Zoe and Claire Midi Dress

This under-$100 dress is well-loved over on Nordstrom for being insanely versatile and insanely affordable. It could take you straight from the office with its professional and chic cut, right into dinner with the girls after work. I'd pair this with a trench coat and flats, or with heels and a clutch!

Reformation

Reformation Petite Mini Dress

Okay, Kacey Musgaves, we see you! The country star's collection with Reformation has been a hit all over social media, and this dress has been all I'm thinking about for the past couple weeks since it dropped. The coquette, cottagecore style has me in an absolute chokehold this fall and winter.

Amazon

Memoriesea Black Dress

This black dress has over 1,400 reviews singing its praises for how form-fitting and flattering it is. It's seriously ideal for so many different body types, because the slinky and stretchy fabric will accentuate your body and make it look fabulous! I think this is the perfect for any occasion, from a nice date night to a fall wedding.

It’s only mid-October, but I already feel my skin severely drying out. These days, I never let a tube of Aquaphor out of my sight, but what really saves my dry skin is a solid night cream. I’ve been loving thicker, slug-worthy formulas (like the few I’ll mention in this list), but there are a ton of different options to choose from when it comes to the best night cream for you. No matter what, late fall and winter are surely going to bring on more dryness than you’re used to – so stock up on one of these effective hydrating night creams now. They’ll put in all the work for your dry skin while you sleep peacefully, so you can wake up looking rejuvenated and moisturized to the gods!

Best Tested & Reviewed Night Creams:

Amazon

Versed Sweet Relief Night Mask + Face Balm

This is my absolute favorite night cream, and honestly, one of the best skincare products I've tried in my life. I've repurchased the pot three times now. Why do I love it so much? Well, for nighttime, it's exceptionally hydrating. I am a huge fan of the slugging technique (AKA slathering your skin in a thick jelly or cream to prevent water loss), and this pick really gets the job done. I wake up looking super hydrated, especially living in a dry climate! Plus, this product is very fun to scoop up and put on. The formula is also boosted with bacuri and kokum butters and apricot kernel oil to support the skin barrier, which is always welcome.

Amazon

Youth To The People Superberry Glow Dream Mask

Not only does this mask hydrate, it also brightens – we love a multi-hyphenate! The formula has a very rich texture that soaks into the skin while simultaneously sitting lightly on top to lock in moisture. It's like a fresh gulp of water for your dry skin – with a subtle fruity scent that makes applying it very fun.

B+C’s VP of Content, Alison Ives, is a big fan of the Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask.

“Believe the hype, people! I’d heard amazing things about Youth To The People for years, so when I saw a mini version of this for sale, I couldn’t resist ordering it to try it out. The jar was the ideal size for frequent travels when you want to keep up with your skincare routine while away, and the formula felt really luxurious on my dry skin. I use it a few times a week when I need an extra boost of hydration overnight. Plus, squalane is great for anti-aging concerns and reducing the little lines I have in my eye area.”

Amazon

CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream

If fine lines and wrinkles are your primary skincare concern, this is one of the best night creams for you. CeraVe products are commonly recommended by dermatologists for any and all skin types, since they're often gentle, yet effective! This cream in particular is fragrance free, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating, so those with sensitive skin can enjoy its hydrating benefits. It has hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides to boost the skin's hydration and elasticity, which can help reduce the look of those pesky wrinkles.

Amazon

Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizing Face & Neck Night Cream

Dealing with uneven skin tone and texture? Opt for this night cream that still gloriously hydrates your skin. It features niacinamide, a skincare hero for reducing the look of dark spots. The brand reported that 91% of users had softer, smoother-feeling skin in just one week after using this product!

Amazon

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermallergo Night Cream

Made to soothe and hydrate, this night cream also purifies the skin, drawing out excess oil overnight to minimize blemishes and clogged pores. It has a gel-cream texture to it, so it doesn't feel overly heavy on the skin – but is still nourishing! The fragrance-free formula is safe for sensitive skin types, and works most effectively in conjunction with other La Roche-Posay products.

Amazon

Cocokind Resurrection Polypeptide Cream

This rich moisturizing cream lets you easily get the look of plumped skin overnight. It includes polypeptides that aid in collagen production, improving firmness while combatting fine lines and wrinkles. The formula has a "dreamy" and "cushion-like" texture that hugs the skin so it can deliver all the goodness!

Amazon

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

This cream is a true staple in my skincare routine, morning or night. It sounds unreal, but my skin truly looks more alive after I slather it on. It's somehow rich and creamy, but still lightweight enough that I can wear it throughout the day under my makeup. The 4.5% squalane helps maintain the skin’s moisture, while the glycoproteins (derived from glaciers – so fancy!) boost hydration even more. It helps your skin feel balanced and healthy, no matter what time of day you apply it.

Dieux

Dieux Instant Angel Moisturizer

This is another one of my beloved night creams that I use on a weekly basis when my skin really needs quenching. Dieux's Instant Angel Moisturizer is a total expert at providing your skin with moisture and protecting its barrier. Supporting your skin barrier can help it maintain healthy hydration levels, so you won't have to overcompensate with more creams and products that may not work 100% of the time.

Nike isn't a leading name in the sneaker world – if not the leading name – for nothing. From basketball and track shoes to more fashion-forward styles, Nike sneakers are undeniably recognizable, no matter how you wear 'em. If you're searching for your next staple shoe, I've rounded up only the most iconic Nike sneakers for you here. You may recognize all-star silhouettes like the Air Force 1's and Cortezes, but I threw in a few lesser-known (yet still so cute) picks to inspire your next purchase. Scroll on for my favorites!

Nike

Nike Cortez Leather

These leather Nike sneakers have been in the game for decades – and for good reason. Though they're shoppable in a classic black + white colorway, I think this red + blue iteration has just enough color and flair without totally distracting your outfit. They're undeniably vintage-y, yet perfectly modern to match every ensemble you put together. What's more is these are as easy to wear as they are to style, thanks to the comfy foam midsole and thick wedge heel.

Nike

Nike Air Max SC

The mixed materials on these shoes are influenced by their practical track and field origins, but they've taken on more of a sporty streetwear vibe over the years, which I love. I've had friends throughout the years that won't go anywhere without these Nike sneakers. They're a great match with with jeans and sweatpants alike, and seamlessly go with any color palette you're working with, since they're just drenched in neutrals.

Nike

Nike SB Zoom Blazer Low Pro GT

Since low-profile sneakers are undoubtedly having a moment right now (everyone say "thank you" to the Adidas Sambas and Puma Easy Riders), these skater shoes are going to instantly make you look right on trend. If you want to make an even bigger "It" girl move wearing them, swap out the plain white laces for colorful ones, or even mix and match between the left and right shoes!

Nike

Nike Spark

These "thoughtfully crafted" sneaks are not quite for the streetwear fiends out there, but those who embrace being active every single day. Just by the structured look of them, you can see that they're geared specifically toward higher-impact movements, like walking long distances (and running even farther). Their feel on the feet is equal parts cushy and bouncy – literally putting some pep in your step.

Nike

Nike Air Force 1 '07 LX

These sneakers take the Air Force 1 – Nike's most classic basketball sneaker – and turn it on its head, while still retaining all the details that make the AF1's, well, the AF1's. You'll spot the timeless thick soles, signature side swoops, and breathable mesh paneling across the toe boxes, except this version is swarmed in chic, cream-colored suede and features a fun royal blue accent at the heels that definitely set them apart from the original (and at this point, tired) all-white colorway.

Nike

Nike Waffle Debut Vintage

Directly influenced by the shoe styles of the '70s, Nike slapped some soft suede on these sneakers along with a vibrant orange color that feels extremely indicative of the disco decade. Though they look like they're from another time period, they're a perfect fit for today's trends – pair 'em with a sleek matching set or baggy jeans for a sporty boost.

Nike

Nike Air Force 1 '07 Next Nature

These all-white shoes are uber-reliable for those moments you don't exactly know what shoes to reach for. Not only do they match with practically any 'fit, they feel super comfortable and virtually never wear out, as long as you take good care of them. You'll earn some serious street cred wearing them, too. They're that iconic.

Nike

Nike Tech Hera

The wavy design along the sides of these sneakers combined with the skinny laces up top makes for a playful visual effect that instantly amps up any get-up you've got goin' on, even if it's just jeans and a white tee. They almost have a Y2K feel to them, with an added height boost from the chunky soles. I need these on my feet ASAP.

Nike

Nike Blazer Mid '77

These high-rise sneaks have been hot since the '70s, beloved through the '80s and '90s, and perfectly revamped for the 2000's and beyond. They are still stamped with the vintage logo on the tongue, and massive swooshes on the sides for recognizable brand appeal.

Welcome to November 2024! It’s official, everyone. We are cleared of the eclipse season and approaching the holiday season and Election Day. The collective is stirring with anticipation, awaiting the next course in our journey. Breathe. Tensions are especially high due to the major polarity brought on by the collective planet Pluto's re-entry into Capricorn just months ago. The tides are expected to change as the regeneration planet regresses into Aquarius for good.

You may be thinking, “What’s in it for me?” Aligning with the cosmic flow will bring more peace, understanding, and balance in your everyday life. Scorpio season is in full swing, and it beckons you to begin analyzing your internal landscape, desires, and control. You'll improve the world by grasping the importance of revitalizing your inner self. Believe it or not, you're the main character of your story, and your light contributes more than you know. This November highlights this part of your narrative. Are you ready to learn what is in store for you this month? Read on for your sun, moon, and rising November horoscope below.

Themes For Your November Horoscope In 2024

Brian Yurasits

This month kicks off with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, helping you see how you're being of service to yourself and others. Due to Scorpio's vibe of death and regeneration, this lunation will also materialize the importance of “clearing out” from the old. Remember last month’s solar eclipse?

This New Moon in Scorpio extends the path for you to turn over a new leaf and actualize your desired changes. Make a move.

The communication signals will power up as Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2nd, manifesting a feeling of warmth and hope in our messages. The dialogue exchanged will be inspiring and educational.

Share information that will benefit others. You'll experience serendipitous moments as you give back.

Our drive and bravado will turn up as the motivator planet Mars enters Leo on November 3rd. Our self-worth will drive passion and desire. Step forward and claim your desire.

Patricia Luquet

Create your masterpiece and watch it come to life. Believe.

Love will shift to rationality and structure as Venus shifts into Capricorn on November 11. These next several weeks will help you gauge more accordingly with long-term plans and practical concerns. It will also invoke a more grounded approach to romance and dating.

Slow and steady builds stronger foundations in love.

On November 15th, the Full Moon in Taurus illuminates the sky, highlighting the importance of taking the reigns through a measured approach. With the rebel planet, Uranus, in alignment with this full moon, it will stir up massive changes involving our narrative and how we are playing our part in our storyline. It can lead to impulsive moves, so remember to be intentional. The great news is that Saturn, the structure planet, is direct today, bringing more clarity regarding our direction.

Ahmed ツ

Brilliance awaits as you hold steady.

Buckle up! On November 19th, Pluto ingresses into Aquarius, settling into this future-oriented sign. Anticipate significant technological advancements, including refined artificial intelligence, quantum computing breakthroughs, renewable energy innovations, and immersive virtual reality experiences. Side note: VR Games like Supernatural(I'm a BIG fan!) are revolutionizing workouts, allowing people to exercise in other worlds while engaging with a supportive community for weight loss, endorphins, and positive accountability. As you visualize your ideal paradigm, Pluto will guide you toward the tools or necessary changes to attract your desired results. Embrace this transformation and let go of outdated constructs, paving the way for a brighter, more interconnected future.

Vlada Karpovich

Happiness and fulfillment await those willing to adapt and grow.

This month ends with the Sun in Sagittarius on November 21 and Mercury Retrograde on November 25. Sagittarius season invokes wanderlust, adventure, and growth. Remember that you'll reign this season as you remain open-minded to new concepts and ideas.

Close-mindedness and dismissiveness of others' input lead to dead ends.

As we conclude working with Mercury’s backspin this month, steer clear of making traveling plans (like booking a ticket/itinerary), launching a business, or signing contracts. Plus, it will help you streamline your messages, think through your personal beliefs, and change your attitudes towards life. Going through reflection will help you gravitate toward your desired outcomes.

Which signs will be most affected in November?

Juliane Monari

As we journey through November 2024, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Sagittariuswill each feel the cosmic waves uniquely. Scorpios will harness the transformative energy of the New Moon to reflect on their desires and initiate powerful changes. Taurus will be called to acknowledge new narratives during the Full Moon, prompting them to take control of their path and make intentional decisions. Aquarians will experience a significant shift as Pluto settles into their sign, inviting them to envision a brighter future and release old patterns that no longer serve them. Meanwhile, Sagittarians will be inspired by the Sun’s entry into their sign, igniting a sense of adventure and growth. However, they should navigate Mercury's retrograde carefully to avoid miscommunications and hasty decisions. Allow these energies to guide you toward a more fulfilled and intentional existence this month!

With Halloween coming up, now is the time to get planning and prepping those costumes. Why not get the whole family in on the fun this year? It will be exciting for you and the little ones in your life. From classic storybook characters to throwbacks from your favorite movies, we've got ideas for every type of family costume this year.

The Cat in the Hat + Goldfish

This costume was completely DIY for the little goldfish, and the Cat in the Hat was super easy because we purchased the accessory package that made this look come together.

Brit + Co

Trolls

We are still in love with Brit's pregnant troll costume — nude body-con dress, YASSS girl! We updated this costume for the whole family — it's pretty simple, and all you'll need is tan colored clothing and wigs for you and your family.

A Beautiful Mess

Peter Pan and the Lost Boys

Harness that rebellious spirit as a whole family this Halloween. All you'll need are some PJs , cardboard swords and a Pan getup.

Big Bird and Elmo

We decided to go ALL IN on DIYing Big Bird's costume, so we felt it was best and more realistic to just purchase the Elmo costume for your mini. Real talk: Who has time to make BOTH costumes? :) It's okay, because your mini will lose their minds when they see the life-like Elmo 'fit in person!

Brit + Co

Outerspace: If you need an awesome and easy family costume for Halloween — we've got you. ICYMI, the Morin Fam is kind of a big deal around here (obvi), and they never disappoint when it comes to creative Halloween costumes. This year they really hit it out of the park (or rather, the atmosphere)!
