Busting out the bright and bold

/

The recent hot and sunny weather means itโ€™s time to bust out the bright and bold colours. Coloured denim has become a very popular trend and itโ€™s hard to ignore the bursts of colours that people are wearing around campus. No colour is excluded from this trend; they range from neons to pastel and primary colours. Bright coloured jeans may not be everyoneโ€™s taste, so consider a pastel coloured hue if youโ€™d prefer not to turn quite so many heads as you pass.

Style options

For a casual look you can wear to class, pair your colourful skinnies with white tee and a jean jacket. For a dressier look, try wearing them with a blazer and wedges. Another fun option is colour blocking your denim with bold stripes, or similar contrasting colours and a colourful pair of pumps. Donโ€™t be shy about your colored denim. This is a bold statement, but itโ€™s also just a new pair of pants as comfortable as your favorite pair of jeans.

Where to get them?

The best places to look for affordable coloured denim are H&M and Forever21. My favourite pick is the denim brand called Bleulab. This brand offers coloured denim that is reversible, so you get two shades in one. You get a brighter colour on one side, and then the darker version of that colour on the other side. Theyโ€™re a bit pricey, but itโ€™s worth the splurge because youโ€™re getting two pairs of jeans in one.

What is great about this trend is that the pants are as comfortable and casual like a regular pair of denim blue jeans, but with their own unique spin. This is not just a spring trend, so donโ€™t be afraid to rock them all summer.
