Here's a picture of my pink, acid-wash jeans and my bright green jeans. Such fun color combinations!
Suggestions for looks with colored jeans!
For women . . .
Pair the acid wash jeans with a black tank top or black v-neck and boots to create a more militaristic or edgy look. For makeup to wear with this look, use a metallic eyeshadow and mix it with a black eyeshadow to add a pop of color and create a smokey eye. For hair, slick your hair back with gel in a high ponytail to bring attention to your mesmerizing eye makeup and facial structure. Don't be afraid to add some darkness to your life!
Pair the bright green jeans with a flowy, floral print top that you can either tuck in to the pants or let it out and belt it. Some simple gladiator shoes can be worn to add to achieve a more whimsical look. For makeup to wear with this look, try pale pinks, whites, and browns with a shimmer. For hair, try doing a braid or a soft curl. Though this look seems to be more natural, your onlookers will notice your "play" with color.
For men . . .
I would do only slight variations from my suggestion for the women's outfit. Pair them with a black v-neck or white button-up shirt to create a casual or rocker look. Like I suggested, use boots. You can slick your hair back, or wear it au-natural.
And here are my new colored pants in hot blue, hot pink, and champagne.
The hot blue and champagne pants are from Forever 21 and the hot pink pants are by Calvin Klein.
Here's why I love my newest additions . . .
1. They come in such vibrant and beautiful colors!
2. I love that the zippers are on the side on some of the pants. Not only that, but I love the extra button that keeps them in place.
3. I love that the pockets aren't so bulky. I don't use pockets often to carry things, but rather purses or clutches.
4. The length is wonderful! They aren't too baggy or long, and they can be easily dressed up or down.
Paired with a silk tank top or a button up blouse, these pants are a fabulous addition I would highly recommend for women's closets or men's. Don't be afraid of color, boys. You are allowed to own colors other than the "basics"!
Boys! Here's some suggestions that I have to integrate color into your wardrobe.
1. Baby steps- Try purchasing more earth tones like a rust or deep khaki. As you become more comfortable with colors that are slightly different from your "comfort zone", try venturing out and purchasing some blues or yellows! (I'll show you some examples in a future blog if you're feeling nervous so never fear!)
2. Highs and lows- Try and play with pant lengths to your closet as well. You don't always have to wear full lengths and shorts. You can always roll up your jeans (neatly) to have a more casual look... or show off some snazzy shoes!
3. Don't go cray- Try and be realistic about your selections- though I appreciate enthusiasm! Ask yourself if you will realistically wear them or whether your present wardrobe will embrace the new color. If you answered no to either question, either put them back or find some new tops! Your closet will thank you.
