A Fashion Triple Threat: Color Jean Leggings

I think that fashion trends are a little like celebrities. Some fashion trends are crossovers (from previous seasons), some fashion trends are double threats (two trends in one), and some fashion trends are triple threats (three trends in one).

Three current trends have combined forces this season to bring us one trend that is showing up on the pages of magazines, fashion runways and store racks: colored jean leggings. This combo is definitely eye-catching and will be a perfect starting point to create outfits for the coming warm weather. Personally, I prefer to work these trends separately, but if you have the figure for these ultra slim, ultra-bright bottoms, I say, “Girl, go for it.”

Several celebrity fashionistas like Kim Kardashian are already working this trend, so need I say more?

Denim jeans have been riding the fashion wave for quite a while now, and it’s interesting to watch them be reinvented by designers and labels. A pair of colored jean leggings will definitely brighten up any warm weather outfit that you put together. There is one hitch to working this trend properly: black doesn’t count. Basic black is always a great choice, but unless you avoid bright colors like the plague, I suggest you invest in a few pairs of colorful jean leggings for both casual and dressy outfits. A red pair is a perfect wardrobe addition as we move into Memorial Day and July 4. As these holidays get closer, time will be a hot commodity, and you can take these colorful jeans from casual to dressy in just minutes. I think a pretty shade of blue would be a nice second choice, and these two colors can easily take you through a patriotic holiday weekend of socializing by the beach or pool at a BBQ, relaxing, or just looking cute while you’re running errands.

These brightly colored jean leggings can easily work several overall fashion looks that are hot this season. A pretty silk blouse with gold leather heels and gold jewelry emulates a cool ’70s look, or an orange pair provides a fun and sexy ’80s Flashdance vibe if you add an oversized sweatshirt, tunic, or a plunging V-neck cotton sweater, tank, and pumps. For a contemporary look, wear a pair of these bright jean leggings to work or play with a menswear-inspired blazer, summer booties, or comfy loafers.
