I’m not sure when I started to love colored denim but it’s been a closet staple for me especially in the transition seasons of spring and fall. There’s something about being able to layer and colors in these two seasons that make me giddy for fashion.
Whenever someone comments on a pair of pants (like my yellow jeans) I get the sense that they’re not sure how to wear them but I’d say it’s really easy. You can either treat your colored bottoms just like a normal pair of jeans or you can make them stand out.
Here are three classic ways to make colored pants work for you…

Neutrals
Neutrals consist of blacks, greys, browns and whites most often. Let your colored denim stand out by pairing it with neutral pieces.

I’m also going to tell you to treat your chambray pieces that are trending right now as a neutral. It’s a classic look that can be paired with any color!

Now this one may seem like a lot because I’m throwing in pattern mixing on top of your colored denim, but if you stick with classic prints like stripes and leopard you’re going to look fabulous!

Color blocking
By simply adding another shade of the same color, you can color block your denim. Here’s a way to do it with a blue jean that aren’t your normal “blue jeans” and if you’re feeling a little bored with wearing the “same” colors, you can add some texture or interest to your outfit like I’ve done here with the fringe.

I hope these simple ideas help you consider what you’ll be wearing this fall and encourage you to pull your colored denim out of the closet or go grab a new pair! Here’s where you can find the most current colored jeans for great prices – http://shopstyle.it/l/QTpO.

It’s funny I can wear any color denim to work Mon – Thursday except for blue. So this is great. Blue I can wear on Friday’s for casual day.
Thanks.
Awesome! Glad to help 😊
