I feel very conspicuous in something so bright seeming. I also have a t-shirt, leather jacket and scarf I wear regularly in a deeper darker version of the colour (which I love) and use those often. So maybe it's overwhelming to my mind. </p> <p>On the other hand husband thinks they look great and there seem to be support for the colour here so I may hang fire and see if I reach for them over autumn. I can always dye them if not. </p> <p>Thank you all for commenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-grey-olive-or-something-else#post-1340130 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 13:34:48 +0000 MuseumGal 1340130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a dark red or burgundy, which is supposed to be a big trend this fall/winter?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-grey-olive-or-something-else#post-1340097 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:27:38 +0000 Windchime 1340097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some YLFers have dyed their jeans with great results (Carter, for one). On the other hand, I was walking through a store recently and saw a rack of jeans in a color similar to what you're describing (somewhat to my surprise).</p> <p>I have a pair of jeans in that color which I was ready to donate, but now I'm going to wait a while longer and see if the color comes back.</p> <p>If you decide to dye them, do you already have black jeans? If not, I'd dye them black. If you DO have black jeans already, either olive or grey would give you some great versatility in your denim capsule! Would one of them coordinate better with your current wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-grey-olive-or-something-else#post-1340093 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:19:32 +0000 Thistle 1340093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a reason they aren't getting much wear? All of the colors you just mentioned dying them would look lovely with the shade you described. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-grey-olive-or-something-else#post-1340088 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:07:41 +0000 Gem 1340088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all - it's my first post here </p> <p>I have a pair of coloured jeans in a pinky hue (think faded wine) which aren't getting much wear right now. </p> <p>I'm thinking of dying them, and my initial thought was black (because I love black) but I'm now wondering if grey or olive or something I haven't even considered yet might be better. </p> <p>Any thoughts from you lovely stylish folks? </p> <p>Thanks </p>
