Color Outside of the Lines

Colored pants..my personal favorite item that I have become fixated on this season.  I like the idea of having my pant as the focus of my outfit for a change, plus they come in a variety of styles from wide leg, to cropped, to high-wasted, to skinny to accommodate all body types. All of us at one point or other have owned a bright colored blouse or jacket, but bright colored pants are pretty unique and are not an item that most of us are typically brave enough to wear; until now that is.

Don’t be afraid to get noticed. It’s natural to gravitate towards neutrals like black, white, or tan to pair with your bright colored pants. Instead pair colors that compliment your bottoms but do not overwhelm. In order to get a better idea of what colors to pair together take a look at these examples below.


Try pairing a purple pant with a yellow top. The colors compliment, but do not overwhelm one another. Mix in fun accessories like this floral print clutch or peep toe pumps.
