colored jeans: how to rock them like you’re roy g biv
I’ve yet to jump on the colored jeans trend, not for lack of confidence, but for lack of inspiration on how to wear them without looking like I’m screaming “look at my jeans!” when I walk in a room.
Rocking rainbow-colored jeans takes a bit of style know-how; pair too many colors together with the hopes of achieving a color-blocked look, and you may end up looking like Aquaman instead. Play it too safe (colored jeans and solid-colored tops with no accessories or accents), then…what’s the point?
Luckily, this is why we have Pinterest — get ready for some colors-of-the-rainbow inspiration from some stylish pins.
If you want to try colored jeans at a low-cost commitment, you can score some cheapies from Old Navy and Forever 21.

{As bold as red is, you can treat it as a neutral, as demonstrated here, by pairing red jeans with structured, dark tops and killer heels.}

{These rusty orange jeans get a casual, cook look with a graphic floral print and a long, coal-colored cardi.}

{Sunny yellow has its place in a winter wardrobe. Warm it up with thick knits, a textured scarf and cozy flats.}

{I love this bold outfit! Remember, Diane von Furstenberg says that animal print is a neutral. Pull this look together with a sleek bag and belt to look ladylike.}

{Indigo-wash jeans aren't too difficult to style, but I love the sailor look rocked here. The high-waisted jeans accentuate her tiny figure, and the slouchy striped top keeps the look refreshingly simple. The cardi adds some length, and the rolled-up sleeves are another nice, casual touch that helps this outfit say "I'm not trying too hard."}

{Plum and caramel look delicious together, while a sprinkle of polka dots tops off this sweet outfit.}
Have you added colored denim to your wardrobe? How do you style them? Link me to your photos or pins in the comments section, or just tell me what colors and fabrics you like to pair together.

Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been wanting to try the colored jeans look, but I’ve been unsure how to best pull it off.
