Want to try the Colored Jean trend but are afraid to look like a fashion victim? Like tomorrow?
Not to worry. Let’s see if we can get you comfortable with this.
The colored jean began in London a few years ago with red. They quickly became a must have on the high streets and like all good British imports it took a little while for them to drift across the Atlantic, but now we are making them all our own. We have them in red, coral, green, pink, purple, sky blue, wine, teal, yellow, and to be continued… I just don’t see it ending because though we see color in every Spring collection – this season’s Spring colors are much more saturated than in previous years. And this week’s shows at Paris Fashion Week for Fall were also filled with color. The message? Color is fresh! Get on board!!
And don’t worry about the color of the jeans making you look bigger than you are. The real culprits in unflattering jeans comes down to material content, pre-fading and pre-whiskering, ill-placed back pockets, and SIZE. So just stick to clean washes and find the right size you should be ok. After all, who doesn’t do the butt check?
While the color denim trend isn’t going anywhere soon, next to Spring’s PRINT Denim – they may look quite tame. I am in fact the proud owner of AG – snakeskin legging jean in teal. I recently paired it with an off-white silk and linen blend tee, a long boyfriend blazer in black, an open toe bootie, and some major accessories. It was a total hit. But I digress.
To give colored jeans a chance without breaking the bank – try these at Nordstrom for $88, Urban Outfitters’ BDG jeans all run around $58 and they have a ton of colors, or Gap’s Always Skinny Skimmer jean which comes in a pretty blue, purple, and fuchsia.
I myself, am partial to Whistles Skinny Jeans in Coral through ASOS. Bottom line, while bright denim is definitely a trend – color is fun and after being in dark denim for so long I think you’ll agree. Rock on.
