Love it or hate it, the pastel denim trend is here & it’s just in time for Easter. I personally think it’s sooo cute and can’t wait to get my tush into some light teal skinny jeans. Now I know this look is not loved by everyone so feel free to ignore this post, however if you are someone wanting to try out this fun, seasonal trend, here are some tips!
1. FIT: The fit of the pants is by far the most important part of this trend. I can not tell you how many pairs of pink pants I’ve tried on and instantly flung off just because of the poor fit. Too tight, too low, too thin, too thick… the key is finding a pair of colored pants that fit your body well, and that don’t show off any unflattering bumps. Because these are lighter colored jeans, they are a bit trickier to pull off. Avoid super thin materials as they are less forgiving.
Just remember: Fit > color.
2. PAIRING: If this is your first time trying out colored denim you might want to stick to quieter pastels: grays, light pinks or tan shades, as these colors are easier to pair with black, navy, white and other neutrals. But, if you are feeling bold and brave, brighter colors obviously pair just as well.
3. SHOES: As for shoes, a tan or black shoe is the safest choice, however this trend kind of allows you to get as creative as you want. Feel free to also wear a metallic flat as they also blend nicely with pastel colors. Try silver, rose gold or bronze. You can also tie in the same color with your accessories to give it a finished, polished off look.
4. SHIRT: Top wise, you can pair these with pretty much anything you’re in the mood for. Pair pastel denim with button ups, blazers, casual T’s, & loose sweaters.
5. COLOR BLOCKING: A lot of girls are combining the pastel denim trend with the color blocking trend. Feel free to really take a fashion leap by combining two of your favorite Spring tones together.
6. BOLD: For brighter denim, I loveee it paired with cream, looks so sharp and fresh. Kim wears her teal jeans perfectly here, she has the pop of color that is great for Spring, but the neutrals that balance everything else out. Pastel Perfection!
