Sporting coloured pants?

Coloured pants and coloured skinny denims are the rage right now — not just among women, but for the men too. Bright colours like purple, pink, orange, yellow and green have made it to personal wardrobes.

But with brighter colours come the increased chance of committing a fashion faux pas. Here are a few tips that you can keep in mind when you sport that burst of colour...

Trousers and denims come in a variety of colours now, but not all suit everybody. Choose a colour that you can carry off and are comfortable in. The colour has to match your personality.

When the pants are in colour, choose a top that is more subtle. For example, if you are wearing a red pair of pants, the top can be a cream polka dotted one and so on. Avoid teaming two shocking colours together.

Coloured denims can be worn at both casual and formal events, as long as the accessories are in place. For example, team your outfit with a pair of formal shoes while at work, and use a pair of boots when you are stepping out.

Incidentally, almost all kinds of shoes can be teamed with coloured denims — take your pick from ballet, flats, loafers, ankle boots or even platform heels.

Avoid too print on your top or even your handbag if you are teaming it with coloured pants.
Coloured jeans are not just for teenagers, as adults can explore wearing them too. Get experimental and make the most of the trend while it lasts.
