What to wear with bright colored jeans

8 09 2008

So the question is simple. What do I wear with those bright colored skinny jeans? You see them everywhere now but not everyone knows how to pair them correctly to keep it from looking too tacky or tacky overall. Here are some tips:

1) Do pair them with a simple long cut graphic tee. For example, bright red skinny jeans would look hot with a solid black or white graphic tee.

2) Do pair them with a solid color tank top or one with simple patterns with a complimenting color.

3) Do NOT pair bright skinny jeans with a bright top. Example, do not wear yellow jeans with a neon green top. That is a hell no in my book. Plus its common sense.

4) Do NOT wear a glitter or sparkly top.

5) Do wear them with heels, flats, or flip flops of a complimenting color.

6) Do NOT wear them with big sneakers. They make you look like you have clown feet.

Here are samples of Do’s:

And below is a bright skinny jean no no, haha. There is just too much representation of the color in the wrong way. If your shirt has some colors that match your jeans, that’s fine. But if you are wearing bright pink jeans and a huge bright pink belt in the high middle part of your stomach, well I just don’t know about that.





Bright colored jeans are back, but would you wear them?

Colored jeans and patterned pants are coming back in style. In the 80’s to early 90’s they were high waisted and bright. Sometimes acid washed. Today, they take the form of low waisted skinny jeans with really bright colors; yellow, red, purple, green, and even bright teal. When you see someone rockin’ them, you just can’t help but turn your head and look. I did. I thought, “wow…she sure has guts.” But I would say that they aren’t just for anyone, even though everyone is trying to rock them. So just outta curiousity, how far is too far and would you wear it? What color and with what? P.S. Some places that are selling them are Karmaloop.com, Charlette Rousse, Forever21, Wetseal, and Urban Outfitters.
