HOW TO WEAR: COLOURED JEANS

Following on from one of the biggest trends last year, here comes the turn of the coloured jeans. Last year it was all about colour-blocking and some of us have decided to carry that on and bring it into 2012! This year, the coloured denim trend is back again and if you want to try it without looking like a Barbie-crazed 8 year old,  Ifeoma Eseka shares some ways to wear it: 

This year, the coloured denim trend is back again and if you want to try it without looking like a Barbie-crazed 8 year old, here are a few ways to wear it:

The neutral look: try your coloured jeans with a white top & black jacket-it’s easy to pull off this way as Hayden Panettiere displays…

 

Mixing with similar shades: If your jeans are a rich shade, wear them with similarly bright colours and if they’re a pastel colour (a massive s/s 2012 trend) then pair with equally soft shades-simple!

The prints/patterns look: Leopard print, stripes, florals and polka dots can help make your jeans POP. If you like to be daring and love attention, this is great– but be careful with the accessories. Don’t make a statement with the shoes if you’re already saying it all with the jeans AND the top. No one wants to look like a drunken drag queen!

And lastly…

Denim on denim: There’s nothing wrong with pairing your coloured jeans with a denim shirt.

 

Of course, brightly coloured denim isn’t a new thing in the fashion world, but this season there really is a shade for every style! So where can you get your hands on this hot item? Almost every shop on the high street has this trend in store and you will love the prices.

From BOOHOO.COM, £20

From NEW LOOK both £16.99. Say YES to ice cream colours for 2012.

From H&M £14.99.

So, seeing as I’m telling you what’s hot and what’s not. I thought I should try on some of New Look’s coloured jeans…

£29.99

£14.99

What do you think?

This trend is a fabulous way to add something a little different to the traditional jeans and top look! Be bold for 2012.
