The New Pants Palette: 10 Ways to Wear Colored Jeans

The spring collections are hitting the racks right now and the one trend that I'm seeing absolutely everywhere is the bright colored jean. While I have yet to attempt the look slightly fearful of the way turquoise would translate splashed across my athletic legs (read: cankles included) I can't help but admire the way fashionable ladies are making it look oh so effortless and darn right amazing. Here I've rounded up images of different ways these ladies are rocking the trend in case you feel so inclined to give it a try. Warning: photo posing skills not included.

Must. Buy.Green Casual
Pair your brights with a loose sweater and Chuck Taylors for a hip but casual look.













Must. Buy.Blue + Polka Dots
Polka dots can look young but put them with bright blue and strappy heels plus some killer confidence and it looks runway worthy.

Must. Buy.Red + Chambray
Red seems to be one of the colors of jeans I'm seeing the most. It works well with a chambray shirt.









Must. Buy.Pink + Jean Shirt
I feel like it's kind of hard to pull off the jean shirt with blue jeans look. Waring it with pink seems somehow easier.














Must. Buy.Yellow
This girl knows how to mix her color. A nice pop of pink and turquoise compliment the yellow pants with overwhelming her.

Must. Buy.Red + Gray
Accessories are an important part of pulling together so many of these looks. I love the purple skinny belt and cute bow.














Must. Buy.Bright Purple + Layers
This orchid color is my favorite of the moment although I never thought of it for pants. Kendi makes it work.













Must. Buy.Red + Stripes + Leather
Black and white stripes paired with red can look a little Cat in the Hat but add a buttery leather jacket and you have a winner.

Must. Buy.Springy Green
I love the soft floral scarf that makes this look oh so feminine.














Must. Buy.Creamsicle + Camel
Camel is another great neutral that isn't as expected as white but goes well with every color.
