Coloured Jeans Outfit Ideas

Coloured Jeans Outfit Ideas

Blue denim holds an icon status like no other item of clothing. The various shades of indigo go with practically everything. But in saying that, and in light of warmer days ahead, I’m here to suggest a few coloured jeans outfits that make a very good case for swapping out your various tones of navy and light blue for something a little different. This spring, the most fashionable people on my feed have been leaning into other colours for their denim.

Of the most popular colors currently being rotated in, there have been five that are most prominent. One such hue is an updated take on a classic. Soft cream-coloured jeans are back with fervour—and understandably. After the dark tones of our winter wardrobes get stored away, most of us are craving lighter trousers, which instantly uplift an outfit. Instead of bright white, this hue feels subtler. Khaki and brown tones are also extremely popular, giving you a base that’s just as versatile as your blue jeans and one that caters to more minimalist tastes. You’ll also spot light pink and red jeans this season, which came as a bit of a surprise but are warmly welcome here. They offer bolder pops of colour in a way that a smaller accessory might not be able to.

So if you’re ready to try something other than blue jeans this spring, scroll on for five options that are just as stylish.

5 Coloured Jean Looks to Freshen Up Your Spring Wardrobe:

1. Pink Jeans

Style Notes: Pastels will forever be signifiers of spring, and whilst you may usually lean on soft knits or floral dresses in this hue, I have another option to present. Pale pink jeans in a corduroy texture reflect the softness and lightness of the season, as shown by Marianne’s pretty look. They also go with a surprising number of colours.

2. Khaki Jeans

Style Notes: It’s no secret that khaki denim is trending in fashion circles this spring. What I love most about this jean colour is how much it varies. You can find khaki jeans that lean beige or brown, or options that have green undertones. This makes it so easy to work it into your current spring wardrobe. Annabel’s tonal look is such a gorgeous example of how to wear this colour.

3. Red Jeans

Style Notes: The pop of red trend is still going strong, and it’s one of my favourite ways to bring more colour into my daily uniform. Although it’s usually done with accessories, Monikh’s choice of red jeans is infinitely more fun—especially since tomato red is set to be one of spring's biggest colours. Keep the rest of your look simple and let your trousers make the statement.

Style Notes: Marshmallow, ecru, cream, eggshell—there are so many pretty hues of soft white to try this spring. A gentler alternative to stark, bright white, this colour of denim looks perfect with khaki trench coats and other iconic spring tops like cardigans and button-downs, as Marilyn shows.
