Woven Southwestern designs are to this fall what flannel was to last fall, and Isabel Marant is one designer whose collection has embraced the trend. Nicole Richie was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills wearing what appeared at first glance to be a standard celebrity’s all-black look—what takes the look a step above is Richie’s Southwestern print jeans. “I ADORE her Isabel Marant (guess it is) pants,” Valentine27 posted in the forums. Richie shows that one way to rock the print is to keep the potential volume down by sticking with monochrome for the rest of the outfit to let the print pop.

Pendleton’s been doing colorful Southwestern prints practically as long as there have been rodeo riders to rough them up; now that they’ve done a hip collection with Opening Ceremony, you don’t have to be a ranch hand to wear them. Jessica Szohr expertly layered a colorful cropped Southwestern print peacoat by Pendleton for Opening Ceremony with a long plaid shirt.
