3 ways to wear pastel jeans

They’re hot then they’re cold. They’re yes then they’re no. They’re in then they’re out. Colored denim has come and gone almost as many times as Katy Perry’s lovers, but they’ve returned this season with a special flair worth your attention.

While last season’s colored denim screamed, “Listen up!,” we can’t wait to get our hands on pastel jeans, which are more subtle statement makers. Soft pinks, muted mints, mellow yellows and pale blues – all the colors of the pastel-colored rainbow are fine by us! If you’re as eager  as I am to give these new school jeans a go but aren’t quite sure how, I’ve researched and conducted some experiments in my lab (a.k.a. my closet). The results were astonishing. Read on to find out how to wear pastel jeans in three different ways.



Love the golden sparkles on my blazer!!!!

Always accesssorize!!! 

Love this top, it's so sexy!!! and extraordinary ... 



Outfit 1:


1. With other pastels. Get in touch with your girly side and pair your pastels for an outfit so spring-ready the sun can’t help but shine. Contrary to what you may think, paired pastels can be completely appropriate for adults, and one simple trick will keep you on the side of cutting edge instead of Easter egg. Break up your soft hued outfit with just one or two items in a bold color, ideally in the same color family as one of your pastel pieces. Here, I took the pink color of my jeans up 10 notches and added a burgundy belt and clutch to this outfit. It remains playful but still looks put together because the deep hues provide just a tiny bit of seriousness.


Outfit 2:
2. With Neutrals. For a more polished look, play your pastel jeans safe by wearing them with neutral pieces in classic, clean shapes. A cream blazer, feminine top and structured black bag with these minty jeans make for an outfit that says, “Yes, I am a power woman…but I’m also stylish and a little flirty.” In a no-nonsense kind of way, of course.

Outfit 3:


3. Monochrome.The monochrome look is big this season and we couldn’t be more pleased. White on white is all good and dandy, but why not pastel yellow on pastel yellow? The soft tone inherent in any pastel will keep the outfit from looking overwhelming, and you can wear your pastel pieces with neutral accessories  to keep the focus on the clothing and soften the look more. If you’re hesitant about putting two pastel pieces side by side, try layering your top over a white button-up or under a neutral jacket to further tone down the look.
So are you eager to try it or do you still have cold feet?

Electric and playful

The runways for spring were sprinkled with pops of  cobalt blue , which is a perfect alternative for those that aren’t keen on a typical pastel palette. This bold color adds a sophisticated punch when worn in the form of tailored  blazers  and blouses, but is electric and playful when worn as handbags or statement  jewelry . Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at  Joe’s Jeans , and corresponding with

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame. This season, camouflage is set to make a massive comeback becoming one of the most coveted looks of the summer. Of course, it’s not what you wear but the way you wear it. Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop. Belt: Ti amo, Necklace: GUESS, Rain Boots: HUNTER, Bag: Evisu, Bracelet Watch: GUESS, 3 pieces Bracelets: H&M When you think of camo, you normally picture heavy duty, “manly” apparel. However, spring 2012’s runways were filled with colorful camo patterns that looked – dare I say it – actually ladylike! The t

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes. The Obvious Choice for Leopard Print Shoes : Black It almost goes without saying, but  black dresses , skirts, and pants are a perfect match for leopard print shoes. Not only because leopard prints have black in them -- although that certainly doesn't hurt -- but also because black really emphasized the lighter tones in traditional leopard print patterns. So, that's an easy one, and you could just r
