I'm a total outfit repeater. When I figure out a formula I love, I try to get away with wearing it more than once a week — if I wore it to work, catch me in it on the weekends with friends or for dinner later in the week. My repeat outfits are usually born out of laziness and/or poor time management (I am not a morning person), so if I know a combo works, I'll totally wear it, or a very similar version, again (though always in different company, because I know you're wondering if I shamelessly show up to work in the exact same outfit more than once a week — the answer is "no").
This level of laziness (read: savviness) routinely leads me toward versatile pieces I can style a few different ways. And a piece I plan to lean on a lot this Summer is a pair of printed pants [1] from the new POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [2].
In a punchy red shade with a floral print, these high-waisted wide-leg pants [3] ($37, originally $50) are floaty without being voluminous and lightweight without feeling flimsy. Basically, its the perfect heat-proof pant that's office approved. Sure, the colour is bold and the print a bit playful, but as someone who routinely reaches for classic pieces in muted tones, it's the exact pop I'm looking for when I want to liven things up in the workwear department.
Ahead, shop the playfully printed pants I plan to wear on repeat throughout Summer. Plus, see how I'll be styling the floral-print bottoms three different ways, featuring more new arrivals from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [4] May drop [5], along with sleek bags, shoes, and jewellery. Outfit repeaters, unite!
1. POPSUGAR Blazer
On days when I want to look my smartest, a similarly coloured blazer and white tee are fresh yet smart with the printed pants. To finish, slip-on mules, a top-handle bags, and layered hoops keep the look elevated.

2. POPSUGAR Knot-Front Button Down Shirt
White button-down shirts are fail-safe for tempering punchy pieces, and this tie-front style has a Summery feel that's sophisticated without feeling stuffy. White and black mules, a structured bag, and an oversize pendant necklace give the look a graphic and modern feel.
