How To Wear Coloured Jeans
Friday, May 27, 2011I'd been hankering after a pair of brightly coloured jeans recently. Although, once upon a time they would have been a complete no-no but these trends have a way of getting in under your skin.
Further inspired by outfit posts from Hi Fashion, A Little Bird Told Me and Wearing It Today, to name but a few, I set about finding the perfect pair for me.
I knew I wanted a red, pink or coral colour and knew as soon as I saw this pair from Dorothy Perkins - cropped, coral and gorgeous - that I'd found my jeans.
I searched for further inspiration...
SJP looks fab (when doesn't she) but I think this is too candy coloured for me. Kylie's choice of casual t-shirt and scarf is far nearer to something I would wear (I do like a scarf) but Cameron's neutral outfit is damn near perfect and by far my favourite look. Emmy's look - black accessories and neutral top - is classic and simple, which makes it an excellent go-to outfit. Plenty of food for thought...
After my recent wardrobe challenge I decided that a new purchase could only be allowed if I could create at least three different outfits with existing items from my wardrobe.
And here they are, plus a few more...
From left to right;
- A white summer weight top - easy to wear and very summery but I did on occasion look down and think 'Woah! Colour!'... but I soon got used to seeing colour wear denim can normally be found.
- A breton top was a no-brainer for me, I think this top goes with everything! I missed a trick here though as I have a fab statement necklace that would have looked super.
- Dorothy Perkins cardigan, tee and jeans. This was my copy-cat of Cameron's neutral outfit, adding some strappy heeled sandals would instantly take this look from casual to polished.
- A structured jacket and heels for an evening outfit - just add a statement ring and cute clutch...
Are you wearing coloured jeans this summer? What do you /would you wear them with?

ReplyDeleteLove your different outfits Hazel, those jeans look fab on you! I am always after interesting trousers, so will keep my eye out for a great pair of bright jeans. Gave me a bit of a scare, all those feet pictures, I get freaked out by feet!

ReplyDeleteLOVE! I've been wearing my pink ones with slouchy vests x
ReplyDeleteThey do look much more like red than coral to me but perhaps that's just my laptop? Either way, they're great and they fit beautifully. And super versatile too! Love all your different styling options.
