trends i'm loving: statement jeans

one trend that took me a while to catch on to but one that im glad is sticking around for the spring season is statement jeans. whether is be a patterned pair of pants or a bright color, im surprised at my ability to get alot of versatility out of these jeans. statement jeans (patterned ones especially) seemed in my mind really hard to style and wear frequently enough to get my money's worth without looking like im repeating outfits. but finding the right pair can be beneficial towards your wardrobe.

im going to style three trendy pairs of jeans that im currently loving.

Outfit 1. Sassy Pants



so by now we all know how obsessed i am with leopard print... but! it works as a neutral so the pattern isn't so overwhelming. if you stick to a natural colored animal print you'll be able to wear it with more items in your wardrobe.

so for a casual but sassy look im going to pair these jeans with  none other than my chambray shirt.



a chambray shirt is simple enough so you don't overload on your outfit. but to add some color im going to add an oxblood colored scarf and ballet flats. cuff the hem of your pants to give the look an even more casual vibe.



add a cognac belt and you're done!


this outfit is simple with a bit of glam and sas! the trick is to not feel overly dressed up and keep the accessories at a minimum so the pants can do all the talking.


2. edgy and feminine.



so for this look in going to be styling a pair of floral printed jeans. my best friend thinks im totally crazy but i think these pants are super cute, and the colors are muted enough so they're not as overwhelming.

for a feminine look add a pretty lace blouse



then to add some edge pair it with a baggy neutral cardigan and an anorak vest. to cinch in your waist to create shape to your body find a vest that has draw strings near the waist



these neutral colors add an earthy vibe to this outfit, and they allow the pants to be the main focus.



go for a cute pair of brown ankle booties to complete the look.


3. perfectly pink



like i said before i wasn't much into the patterned nor colored skinny pant trend, but lately i've found myself wanting a pair of pink skinny jeans.... i don't know why but for some reason i find them appealing.

so for this outfit i'd pair these jeans (you can go for a blush shade of pink if the bright color is too overwhelming) with a black button down over a white sweater.



i like the black sleeveless shirt because it makes it easier to layer under the sweater, it wont feel as bulky. and the detailed collar adds interest to your neckline.
go for a true white sweater, avoid a cream or beige color, true white will look better with the bright pink. if your pink pants are not as bright the go ahead and pair with a cream colored sweater, or better yet gray!





to give the look an edge stack chain link bracelets on one arm, and slip on some black studded loafers.
don't worry about making sure the hardware matches, the black collr on the shirt has both gold and silver so you're accessories can have both too.



so thats three ways to style patterned, and colored jeans!! i hope you enjoyed and are now feeling brave enough to try this trend!! it can be super fun!!

<3!
