Now I feel totally confident about my red skinnies. You are right, the red color is an important part of my decision to keep things&nbsp;playful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, I read your answer with great interest, thank you so much for taking time to respond&nbsp;on a Sunday and all.&nbsp;I think that I'm more into pants these days than skinnies, so if the opportunity rises for a pair of red pants, I'll go for that instead. I don't need to feel very trendy, but I wouldn't say that it hurts either Until I find that, the red skinnies will be quite all right.</p> <p>Unfrumped, your questions are very interesting to me, too. I hope someone in the know responds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008416 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 16:43:59 +0000 Day Vies 1008416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie -- not dated at all. I have reached for them less because it's summer and I'll have plenty of time to wear them this fall. I have red skinnies too and I have no intention of giving them up after just one season. Wear them with pride! I just bought a seersucker blazer that will look fabulous with mine when it starts to cool off around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008413 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 16:31:35 +0000 unfrumped 1008413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any colored jeans but am interested in how the fashion winds blow. I'd love to hear what is the way to wear them for this fall that would separate&nbsp; the in from the out! Such as--with more neutrals? with color blocking? with more nautical items? That sort of thing. I'd like to hope our items can have that kind of longevity.</p> <p>Beth Ann, did you check out Land's End collection of colored jeans and chinos? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008378 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 15:02:13 +0000 Irene 1008378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's because I have a woman who owns several pairs of colored jeans and trousers (and has owned them for years) very close to me, but I would think colored pants (and especially red ones) are quite a classic piece of clothing, especially if it's a streamlined style (like cigarette pants). <br />I don't own colored pants aside from red, navy and beige skinnies, but I wouldn't say they are dated. At all. I actually saw loads of colored denim options in store this past Spring (Fall-Winter is much more neutral and darker), and I even saw colored boot-cuts.<br />All I have to say is: wear them with pride if you want to. Not dated to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008373 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:49:37 +0000 ManidipaM 1008373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am glad you asked! I loved mine bought last year and am dying to fit into them again. Nor am I normally a fan of skinnies or red. But I like these and did enjoy them more than expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008368 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:38:25 +0000 Kristin L 1008368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in your red jeans! I haven't seen them as much because of the hot weather here, but I have a feeling they will be back out in force this fall (in my area at least). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008362 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:29:11 +0000 Angie 1008362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, coloured bottoms (NON-jeans) are not at all dated. In fact completely fashion forward and trendy. 3.1 Philip Lim just brought out bright emerald pants. I see lots of pink and cobalt trousers too. J. Crew has gone moggy with non-neutral cropped pants for Fall. </p> <p>Bright coloured jeans are another animal - and far less on trend than they used to be about three years ago - <i>but also not dated.</i> There are definitely more "on trend" coloured denim colours though - like pastels and burgundies. </p> <p>In short, if you love your red jeans Ingunn, wear them and have fun with the look.You look great in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008319 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 13:16:22 +0000 nancylee 1008319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten a lot of good advice here already, Ingunn. &nbsp;Colored denim might not be cutting-edge fashion, but it certainly isn't out of fashion. &nbsp;These jeans are a fun, playful part of your wardrobe so I'd go ahead and wear them.</p> <p>I'd also add that since red is a staple color in your wardrobe, it really functions as&nbsp;a neutral for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated/page/2#post-1008304 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:47:34 +0000 Inge 1008304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Suz's first reply:-)<br />And agree that these skinnies look amazing on you, Ingunn, so if you feel like wearing them, then go for it!<br />(I was also thinking that you might see more people starting to wear them again once the weather cools off a little).</p> <p>ETA: I have a pair of cobalt blue straight legs that I almost never wear, but I did love wearing them last Fall/Winter tucked into tall black boots and paired with my navy and red striped turtleneck (sometimes I'd add a leather jacket or blazer). It gave them a somewhat equestrian feel, and that always makes me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1008239 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 05:19:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1008239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn:&nbsp; I love the first additional photo you posted, with the navy jacket and white shirt --- very fresh and polished.&nbsp; The second top could be a touch longer, I think, for optimal proportions, although I'm being picky.&nbsp; The second top could work well under a cardi, too.</p> <p>The jeans fit you beautifully.&nbsp; They are skinnies, but "classic" ones, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1008189 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 03:18:42 +0000 Jeanie 1008189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock those red skinnies and should definitely keep them! I like the way Mo pairs them with a casual sweater. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1008180 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 03:02:01 +0000 Mo 1008180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelpha I had to laugh because one of my fave outfits is my red skinnies<i>&nbsp;with</i>&nbsp;platform sandals LOL! &nbsp;<br />I am not packing mine for FL simply because space is an issue and 4 or 5 pair of pants is max already. &nbsp;But then again, I wore my red jeans more in FL than ever in CA . . . . hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1008173 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 02:52:02 +0000 amiable 1008173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm reading this thread with interest, as I LOVED my colored skinnies last winter. &nbsp;I'm not sure I'm quite as excited about them for this winter - but the weather is a bit warm for them yet also. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also don't mind that they're not cutting edge. &nbsp;I think I'd rather be a little&nbsp;behind on the trends than really current on them. &nbsp;(Or at least, on the front edge). &nbsp;You know - not super current, but not dated either. &nbsp;Classic, maybe?</p> <p>But I'm curious to see how they fit, now that I'm nearly 10 pounds heavier. &nbsp;Oy.</p> <p>If they fit, I think I'll wear them this coming winter.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1008007 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 22:12:18 +0000 Deborah 1008007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think coloured jeans were really embraced in a big way here! I have red and cobalt and I have not felt inclined to wear them since last September:). The red don't fit me at the moment:( but I am working on that:). I am going to wait for Spring a d see how I feel. As an aside, they have been popular for boys! Master 10 has a great pair of red skinny jeans and it's a look I have seen many teen boys sporting;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007984 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:31:23 +0000 Adelfa 1007984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And if red is your color, it is always right. I had a wardrobe "aha" moment, I think while you were gone, that my wardrobe feels better all around if I exclude red (bright, true red).</p> <p>However I LOVE red and love it on others. &nbsp;DD loves red lipstick and nails,&nbsp;and red shoes and other red accents--it's so funny because as a brunette I'm "supposed" to wear red and as a redhead she's not!</p> <p>Red is very special for you and I think it is wonderful that you found red skinnies that fit so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007977 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:21:29 +0000 Ingunn 1007977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelfa, I think we're on the same page here. I'm not an early adopter either, and sometimes, when a trend really isn't for me, it's very simple to let go. I'm sure your cobalt and oxblood jeans are very current for at least another season. Both colors are on trend this fall as far as I can tell - and they are lovely, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007973 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:11:06 +0000 Adelfa 1007973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfits!</p> <p>All I have is cobalt and oxblood jeans, both in a sort of&nbsp;narrow straight cut. I have been giving them a rest for summer but play to wear them a lot in the Fall and Winter. (I am a late adopter and have only had them since last December! Don't want to give them up yet!)&nbsp;The people I work with have been wearing colored jeans all through the summer.</p> <p>I think sometimes when Angie says that item X is no longer cutting edge, I quit wearing X immediately. &nbsp;I think this is when X wasn't really me all along, and I am grateful to be able to move on and be current! For instance, this happened when she said some months ago that platform wedges were phasing out. I immediately passed mine on to a thrilled recipient and bought a pair of "refined wedges," yay. The platform wedges were never really me, and I was glad to have an excuse to move on.</p> <p>Other times my reaction is totally different. I think how I'm not an up-to-the-moment person in my style, and also how my style environment is a certain amount behind what Angie is looking at. This happens when an item is useful, flattering, and "me." &nbsp;I'm much slower to move on then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007969 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:03:46 +0000 MsMary 1007969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, forgot to say I wear my burgundy ombre jeans all. the. time.</p> <p>I agree with Suz -- "not new trend, but not dated."&nbsp; And you look amazing in your red jeans, Ingunn!!&nbsp; If you stop wearing them I will come over there and give you a spanking!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007968 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:03:30 +0000 CocoLion 1007968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still plan to wear my colored jeans this fall. &nbsp;I have a very dark pair of green ones as well as burgundy. &nbsp;Then I also have black and grey.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007965 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:58:15 +0000 Ingunn 1007965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz! I agree, they add a little playfulness, and they are also a signature color for me. That's the two main reasons I'm asking about these particular jeans, in fact. Normally, I'm not very concerned about wether anything is dated or not, after all most of my wardrobe is basically classic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are a couple of red and blue outfits I tried tonight. I apologize for the lousy pictures, but there's too little light right now for proper pics. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007964 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:57:59 +0000 texstyle 1007964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;Suz.said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007960 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:48:31 +0000 Suz 1007960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, those red jeans look terrific on you, and I know you can make fun outfits with them for fall. I think skinnies are still totally good. They're a new modern classic in my mind!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm just tired of jeggings (in particular) -- partially because I end up wearing them so much through the winter (tucked into boots).&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it's important to keep the red jeans because remember your goal to include playfulness in your wardrobe? They are a key piece in that ambition and yet will work beautifully as a neutral with autumn items.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007959 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:40:20 +0000 Ingunn 1007959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I'm probably going to keep these for another season to see if I will be wearing them a lot or not. I put them on tonight to try a couple of outfits, and they still fit &amp; flatter. I agree that skinnies and jeggings are starting to feel dated, even though they probably will stay around for quite a while. All our students wear skinnies, and very little else.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007956 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:37:05 +0000 Suz 1007956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bet the answer is "not dated" but also not "new trend."&nbsp;</p> <p>I still haven't even found a pair of coloured jeans (other than white). Oh - wait - I do have a pair of dark plum/ burgundy jeggings. But jeggings are looking kind of dated themselves!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007955 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:36:44 +0000 Ingunn 1007955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, we double posted! The skinnies versus straight leg question is another issue. I don't have any other skinnies than these, and prefer straight legs by far in general. But these particular skinnies are probably the most flattering pair of skinnies I've ever put on, so that helps. In general, I totally agree with you on this, though. Good luck finding the straight legged burgundy jean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007952 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:33:38 +0000 Ingunn 1007952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the main reason for not seeing that many around is the weather? It's been a quite warm and dry summer here&nbsp;for a change, and that might have left&nbsp;the skinnies in people's closets, I guess. Ramya, if you love yours, by all means keep wearing it MaryK, I trust your opinion, this is&nbsp;more than good enough for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007950 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:31:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1007950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plan on replacing my reds with a wine/burgundy pair if I can find them when cooler weather arrives.&nbsp; I'm wearing the reds less, but they've faded a bit.&nbsp; I still wear my cobalt and white pants regularly.</p> <p>No one in my circle, except my students, wears colored denim.&nbsp; Not because they've moved on, but because they've never worn them to begin with.&nbsp; They make me supremely happy, and they perk up the multitude of dark toppers in my closet.&nbsp; And I am not the type who would usually draw attention to her bottom half.&nbsp; I have decided that I'm done with skinnies, which makes my burgundy hunt more difficult.&nbsp; Straight cuts.......where are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-are-colored-jeans-dated#post-1007949 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:27:22 +0000 ramya 1007949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MaryK I would be very very sad to see them go out of fashion. </p>
