The Colored Jeans Dilemma

I was recently asked to do a post on “what to wear with colored jeans during the cold season”.  I had to actually think about this one since I wear a lot of colored pants myself! But, I was definitely up for the challenge. So by request, here are three looks with colored skinny pants for the fall/winter!

Look #1

The first look is actually my last post where I paired my red corduroys with a funky sweater. When wearing colored pants with sweaters, I wanted to keep the color combo simple and complementary.

Look #2

For the second look, I went with a chambray shirt. I have been loving the chambray shirt because it is super versatile and great for layering and goes really well with most colored skinnies. For this look, I decided to pair it with a wool blazer, which works out perfectly for a brisk California day.

Look #3

Although colored pants can be bright, it doesn’t mean you have to keep the top too simple. For this last look, I paired my colored skinny pants with a grey/black leopard print cardigan. Even though the pattern can be wild, the colors are simple. You can really go with any pattern here, but I would recommend keeping the colors simple or two-toned. Blacks and whites are always a favorite for me.
