Coloured denim is one of the hottest trends this season. The
bolder the brights and softer the pastels the better! These pants are out to
make statement, so break out of the blue jean habit and jump into a pair of
coloured pants. This trend is sure to follow us right into the fall as well,
with rich colours and jewel tones dominating the lower half. I’ve complied a
few tips and tricks to make this trend easier to pull off and embrace!
The easiest and most flawless way to wear coloured denim is
to pair it with neutrals. Try a chambray shirt, or a silk white blouse over
your pastel cropped jeans. Throw on a pair of wedges in a brown; add a belt and
some fun jewels and you’re good to go. Blacks, browns and whites are easy with
any pastel coloured pants. They’ll make your pants pop without being too bold.
Watch out for pumpkin or bumblebee syndrome when wearing bold colours with
black. Avoid pairing black with orange and yellow, and shoot for a brown or
cream instead. Bold pants can lead to simple elegance with a pair of ballet
flats and a crisp white button down.
Colour blocking your bright pants is another great way to
embrace the trend this season. Colour blocking is the art of pairing solid
coloured, bright pieces together. It can be bold and attention grabbing with
coloured pants but it’s the trend to master this season. The key is to find a
theme, whether it be brights or pastels. Once you decide which way to go,
embrace it and run with it. If you’ve got a royal blue jean, try a fuchsia top
with turquoise accessories and if you’re really daring try a coloured shoe too!
One of my favourite colour combinations is turquoise and coral. So rich and summery,
it’s the perfect combination for this season
Pulling off one colour head to toe can be tricky and
intimidating, but it’s been done! To do it well, make sure all of the shades
you plan on wearing are identical! A pale pink top and a hot pink pair of pants
will not make a statement. However, a hot pink top and pants can make a serious
fashion statement.
Another option to pair with your pants is to try a print! Leopard
print looks great against a bold red. Nautical stripes look great with
turquoise or pastel purple. Polka dots are really popular this season so try
using this against pastel or bright pants.
If you’re embracing the coloured pant trend, try a pattered
pair! There are floral pants on the market right now that are the perfect
summer in New Brunswick addition to your closet. Keep the accessories and
pairings neutral with a patterned pant. Let the patterned pants do the talking!
They’re fun for a Saturday filled with market shopping or great for a night out
with the girls, and they’re sure to get you noticed!
