Trend: bright denim
07 October 2011
After so many moons of black and blue, coloured denim could not comesoon enough. Perfectly in sync with colour blocking, vintage style,70s inspired fashion and just about everything else currently invogue, pop coloured pants are just what the (fashion) doctor ordered.(An aside: Can you imagine a fashion doctor? Some slender,sunglass-wearing, cheekbone-d giantess who sweeps her silk lined, furcape over your face before handing over a prescription for vodka, dietcoke and cigarettes: "Take 45 of each and call me in the morning.")

ANYWAY, you may have already spotted the cool kids rocking them inevery possible shade and pattern and wonder - "how!?!". While it mightbe out of your black and blue comfort zone, bright denim can be justas flattering if you pick the right cut. Stick to a skinny/ cigaretteleg if it's your first time around the block: simpler is easier toexecute. Anything boot-cut or flared might leave you looking like aBrady Bunch impersonator. If the pale pinks or canary yellow jeans area bit much at first, try maroon, purple or bright red. You'll find thered-spectrum still dark enough to flatter, and it's a tone that willwork with most of the tops you wear with your blue jeans. As foroutfits? Well, beyond the colour blocking, I love tone on tone (ie,maroon top on maroon jeans - just in different shades) to accentuatejust how colourful you are. Break it with a belt and necklace.Otherwise, you can't go wrong with a striped/ printed tee or a flowingtunic top so it's just sexy bright legs poking out.
