The sun is shining. The birds are out. And you can finally get a tiny bit of tan from walking in the Ralph’s parking lot. Yes, spring has sprung. And this season — for once — the black pant won’t be your go-to trouser. Instead, make bold color your new best friend when it comes to the bottom half of your body. The same bright, spring 2011 hues seen all over Prabal Gurung dresses, Jil Sander handbags and Calvin Klein award show ensembles have made their way to trousers, too. And we think they are a great way to snazz up a usual suit routine or, better yet, a sophisticated stand-in for a cocktail dress. Below are our favorite pants in all colors of the rainbow at price points made for every crayon in the box.
