As a general rule, if you wear printed jeans, they will take center stage. Can you really ignore a bold and graphic presence on your bum? I didn’t think so. But while they may not be utilitarian to the degree of a pair of blue jeans, printed pants are surprisingly versatile, especially AG Adriano Goldschmied‘s new ikat printed rendition. We love how they uniquely rock ikat in a wintery color palate of pale blue, white, and periwinkle–a rarity, even when not put on pants!–but still look appropriate in many different situations. Whether you’re headed to work, going out, or lounging around on the weekend, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to wear these jeans, three ways:

When your wild side is itching to come out, leopard print jeans are an obvious statement-making sartorial choice. But sometimes you’ll feel the call of the wild and need to–dare I say–keep your look work-appropriate. No threadbare tees or fur chubby jackets allowed! Thankfully, stylist Geraldine Saglio’s done a great job of taming the print in a way that will make you feel kickass without going overboard. Start with a neutral print pair of jeans (save the wild and crazy brights for going out at night), add a clean-cut silk or chiffon shirt, and keep all your accessories simple and in the same color family. It’s the best way to look both sassy and classy!
