Wearing Color Jeans

color jeans

I'm sure you have seen twill pants everywhere. I know they aren't for everybody, but you have to admit they are really cute and a great alternative to wearing jeans. Here are some tips to start wearing them now: 
  1. Choose to play it safe. If bold colors aren't for you, you can try  a color like the one in the middle. The color is cute, and it's close to a jean color.
  2. Stick to neutrals. Your top, shoes and accessories shouldn't compete with the color of your pants. As you can see above, it looks nice to pair color pants with black, grey or white. 
  3. Accessorize! Even with pants in these colors you need to accessorize properly. Otherwise, your outfit will look too bland. Proportion is key. For example, try not to wear a big necklace with a chunky bracelet. Pick one big accessory and minimize the size of the rest.
  4. Don't be afraid to wear them in any season: Think of them as jeans. Just because they are in now, it doesn't mean that you can't wear them all year round. It all depends on what shoes, top, or bag you wear. I can definitely picture those red pants above with some boots and a jacket during the fall. 
These color pants can be expensive or cheap, depending on which stores you like to shop. For some ideas on where to look for these items, check the labels. Also check out Polyvore, to plan your own outfits and save time when shopping. Just type what you are looking for and you will have more choices than you can handle.

  1. I remember jeans like these when I was a kid in the 80's. They have been reborn in a much more polished way. I haven't seen them in a while, but when I saw a young woman wearing a pair in electric blue, I had to admit, it was very striking. Good call!
