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.
