I've seen a few posts to that effect and am a little worried, as I have several pairs and still love and use them...

Please tell me someone else still feels the love!

I'm wearing turquoise denim cut-offs as we speak.

I'm wearing bright mustard yellow jeans today and I feel great. I also just picked up skinny jeans in teal and orange at NAS. So at least I'll be keeping up with colored denim for awhile longer.

My thumbs are up, up, up for coloured denim! Please keep on wearing it, Una!

I am one of the people over coloured denim *for myself* - although I was never really into it big time. I am more into coloured and patterned trousers. Thank goodness I only bought one pair of coloured denim jeans and trusted my gut. I am a blue, white and black denim gal - end of story. In Summer, I like white denim above anything else.

I am absolutely still encouraging clients to purchase coloured denim if that tickles their fancy

I'm still a fan - It can really make an outfit more interesting and for those people who love color it really makes sense.

I'm not over it -- I feel like I'm just getting started! I don't get to wear my jeans much in the summer (too hot!) so I'm looking forward to wearing my teal, burgundy, and cobalt skinnies in the fall and throughout the cold months!

I'm glad to hear colored denim isn't so last year... I"m thinking about dying my white jeans a fun color for fall.

Better not be! My first pair (well, cotton twill, but close enough) are on the very top of my reward pile!

And for what it's worth, I read articles for years trumpeting the end of low-rise pants before it actually happened.

I think they will continue to be popular thru next summer, anyway. Cute look!

I was wondering that too, Una, so I'm glad you asked. I'm glad that it seems to be ok. I'd love some dk. green and some burgundy ones for the fall.

My red, yellow and green skinnies were inexpensive. The yellow ones shrank after first wash so are basically, unwearable. I am putting the yellow ones in the purge pile. I will probably still wear the red pair this winter, not sure about the green ones.

I have plum, burgundy, and cobalt jeans that I paid more for and will still wear this coming a/w. You still see new ones coming out in the plum and burgundy families from premium denim lines like 7 and J brand. I have to think of how to refresh the cobalt pair and it has crossed my mind to dye them teal.

So yes, I still plan on wearing colored jeans as they are a fun trend. I probably will not join the printed trend as it just doesn't look good on me.

I am still a big fan of the tuxedo trend as it flatters me more than printed jeans do.

I actually have a burgundy pair from F21 from last winter! Who knew it would be the in color?! I'm not adding any more colors, but I think I'm up to six pairs: yellow, cobalt, burgundy, red, emerald and chartreuse. Eek!

I only bought cobalt and orange...the orange didn't make me happy in fit so they are donated already but I am still happy with cobalt for fall.

I was wondering the same as I noticed Angie's post a few days ago. I actually have been sporting a pair of teal ones quite often this summer and I finally got cobalt, as the only brand I can fit into length wise these days came up with a few new colors.

I'm just getting started but then I'm always late with the trends. I guess i need to find me a pair of colored denims that make me look skinny. LOL!!

I was out today and noticed them featured in at least two stores. They are still big and will still be big for fall, so don't worry. You will have plenty of time to wear them before the trend dies down.

I love my red ones and plan to wear them once it cools enough. I always will don white, in or not, and bought merlot cords for the coming winter. Guess I'm into what I consider 'my colors' in denim

I still feel the love! My mustard and aqua skinnies are still in heavy rotation, although in hot weather they don't get out as much as when it's cooler. Unfortunately my red and green skinnies (super cheap from eBay) shrank in the wash and now belong to Vicki!

I never got on this bandwagon yet, so I am delighted that my new coated jeans are a sort of burgundy colour! I actually love the look and will wear it this fall. But my basics will always be blue.

I'm not over them - but, am thinking about different ways to wear them this fall and winter. So far, haven't come up with anything different than the same-old-same-old!

NO, not according to Instyle and other mags. I think certain colors may peak, that's all.

I hope not! Though I wear only blue, black and white denim, I have a pair of kelly green cropped chinos that I LOVE and they are not going anywhere!!! (and if I could have found this color in my size in DENIM, I would have bought them, too)

I still don't have any and don't plan on buying any, but still love it on others. My sister wore cobalt cropped skinnies the other day and looked absolutely amazing!

Una, while at the grocery store and looking through magazines, I saw that colored denim was one of the top 10 "trends" for the Fall.

Nope! I bought a bright cerulean pair this spring and I have yet to wear them. I've got my whole outfit all figured out so colored denim better still be in for fall. Lol, around here, they are probably just figuring it out!

I will know when Spring hits but I expect I am still going to wear mine. I have cobalt and red. I don't know if I will add to my collection but I am a little keen on finding a pair of green ones. Clearly we are behind the US so colored skinnies seem to only now be coming into their own here in Aus.

I was never under it - closest I have is gray. But I would not be against a burgundy pair, and I do still like the look on others.

I love coloured denim. Although, at this point I only own one pair of deep red denim but I would love to add more if my budget allows.

I love mine. I have five pair of colored bootlegs. Red, fuchsia, aqua, neon lime and grape and I wear them now and I will wear them all winter just with darker tops/sweaters!
