Tasteful Trends: How to Wear Colored Pants & Jeans

AG Stevie + Tarpan Buttondown

1) Find a flawless fit
Inky dark denim could also be called clandestine concealer of construction flaws, but bright denim essentially dips the whole process in a highlighter.  The fabric should glide along your silhouette with nary a lump or sag.  While wide, trouser, and flare cuts may flatter your figure in traditional hues, tailored in color, it may backfire and visually expanding your profile.  Instead opt for somewhere between a minimalist boot, classic straight, or skinny delineation.

2) Do not match
Picking a color in your top and matching it to the wash of your trouser is a sure way to elicit compliments from ladies double your age.  Instead, contrast: in hue (color), value (light vs. dark), and/or chroma (purity).  This trend lends itself particularly well to analogous color combinations, or color harmonies coupling neighbor hues on the color wheel.

3) Keep it clean
If in doubt, opt for a solid on top and a single piece of jewelry.  Minimize your patterns, accessories, and other extraneous details.  This bold looks requires little to no adornments. Offer a clean, crisp, bold statement sans apologies.

4) Architect balance
Avoid pairing tight with tight.  Regardless of the muscular tenacity of your torso, a looser cut above the belt line allows for a singular focus free or ostentation or squishy distractions.

Starters, might opt for a dim forest, rich wine, or other shady dark hue in a straight cut.   Pairing the look with a shirt dress offers coverage while nude heels lengthen the leg line.

 Intermediate models can experiment with vivid cobalt, kelly green, or other fully saturated hues in a tapered ankle. Pairing a tinted pastel with a bolder bottom offers a quieter conception.

Tasteful Trend Tips

Lovely-istas,

The alternate title for this week’s theme of thought was “how not to look like a fashion runway zombie.”  Because you, my pretty dear, deserve to look fresh,  personally purposeful.  Not muted of your own fashion voice.  Not driven to wander stores aimlessly devouring the tasteless flesh of meaningless trends.

But before we dash on, what trend would you prefer advice on:

  • Midi Skirts/Dresses
  • Waist vs. Hip vs. Skinny vs. Thick Belts
  • Faux Fur
  • Capes & Ponchos
  • Brightly Colored Trousers/Colorblocking
  • Plaid/Tartan/Scottish
  • Secretary Tie Neck Blouses
Or is there something, something else?  You can tell me, don’t be shy.
