How to Wear Pucci Pants
Pucci pants are known for their abstract patterns, brilliant colors, bold geometric prints, tapered fit and capri silhouette. Breathe new life into your wardrobe by incorporating the bright-colored bottoms or bold patterns with your everyday attire. Mixing and matching will be easy as long as you work with one accent color from your pant print while taking into account pant fit and detail.

Pucci Pant: Fit and Style
-
1
Try on Pucci pants in front of a full-length mirror to establish their fit and style. Pant length is very important when determining which shoes to wear. Focus first on pant length and then print, fabric texture and color. Look for specific pant design details such as zippers, oversized pockets, drawstrings or snaps. This will benefit you when selecting shoes and the rest of your ensemble.
For example, you can wear extended-length pants with skinny-heel booties or opt for a stiletto heel. If the pant features angled zippers, you can opt to pair them with a zippered shoe. Tapered ankle-length pants can be matched with bold ballerina shoes. The Pucci "capri" length can also carry a ballerina, sandal or an open-toe kitten heel.

Your top, belt and shoe selection will greatly depend on whether pants have a fitted low-rise front, wide-cuff hem or high-waisted finish.
For example, a fitted low-rise front ankle-length tapered-fit khaki color pant with front cargo pockets can be dressed down with a T-shirt, skinny belt and low-heeled shoes. You can take the same pair of pants and change the look completely by combining a flared bright yellow top, no belt and high-heeled gladiator shoes.
Keep belt-loop design and width in mind. Wide belt loops usually have a design feature, and by wearing a draped or oversized blouse, the belt-loop design can be lost.

Be bold when selecting your top color. For example, pair your extended-length neon pink-colored pants with a triple ruffle-tiered blouse in a softer pink hue for a monotone look. You can also opt to pair your solid neon pink pants with a white and black geometric pattern sleeveless tapered top, skinny black belt, black jacket and Mary-Jane black high-heel shoes. The same pant can be worn in two separate looks.
Traditional Pucci brilliant print ensembles usually mix the same pattern for the top, pant and shoe. You can mix a printed pant legging with the same tunic print. You can also pick one color from your pattern as your accent color, such as bright blue, and pair it with a solid bright blue or green tunic top and wide low-hip belt. The pant will be the highlight of your look. Mix your geometric-pattern pants with a striped tank or boat-neck long-sleeve top within the same color family as the pattern print.

Incorporate a printed scarf or purse to accent your Pucci pant. For example, a fall-inspired solid satin-draped charcoal grey elongated pant can be paired with a grey, black, off-white and grape striped lightweight turtleneck sweater and a black patent-leather heeled booty. You can dress down the same pant with an off-the-shoulder striped top and a grape purse or a solid top and a grape-influenced extended-length striped scarf.
A solid neon blue royal pant can be mixed with a bold bright blue or green handbag or textured scarf. You can also substitute those colors with a metallic-inspired silver hobo handbag or mini clutch.

Transform your Pucci daytime look into night with a pair of dangling earrings or a vintage chunky necklace and bracelet. You can also mix a Pucci pant with a lurex thread-textured shawl and an evening shoe.
The key to maximizing your Pucci pant as the main feature to your ensemble is to be bold with your choices and select pieces that will enhance your pant. Choose your favorite pant design detail and build your look accordingly.
