Coloured Skinnes are in!



The trend of the moment washing up on our shores, is brightly coloured skinny jeans. Not indigo, think pink, electric blue, yellow and red .

Deep pigmented colours are very hip right now, as are pastel shades if you prefer a softer look. We tell you the correct ways to sport this hot trend. 

-Coloured jeans have to be skinny, never flared, unless you are going for a retro look.
 
-Keep the shirt loose and in shades of white or grey. 

-Coloured skinnies lend to an androgynous look, so wear them with loafers, oxfords or flat thong sandals. 

-While colour blocking, don't move away from the colour family, and restrict the shades to three or less. For instance, deep green jeans can be worn with a blue and white striped shirt. Don't mix blue, red and yellow. 

-If you like a softer look, go pastel pinks, lavender, etc. The same rules apply for the shirt - neutral and flowy. 

-Don't over-accessorize. Wear one statement piece. 

-If your bag is big, make it a neutral colour such as grey, nude or tan. If you are wearing a chain purse, you can use it to colour-block your entire outfit better.
