Colored jeans still in style?

Erikajl

This has probably already been discussed, but, I have several pairs of colored jeans (as shown). They are not skinny's but rather more straight leg on me. Are they still in style or should I re-home them? If they are in style, any thoughts on how to style them now?

I vote keep all. The straighter leg is more current.

absolutely still in style. how do they fit you? for example, on me, the straight leg fits like a skinny. That said I find them really hard to style with anything other than flats or tennis shoes, so I won't be adding any more to my closet.

I know you can roll the legs into a more cuffed style but I don't like how messy that looks on me. so one option I am considering is cutting them off as angie did this week in her blog post, then stitching a cuff, and shortening one of the slimmer pairs into a crop instead of a straight leg.

The khaki pair I'm keeping, it's just so damn versatile with a denim or colored jacket.

Remember, if they don't bring you joy, GET RID OF THEM. make room for what you do love! (or put in storage for a few months and think about them, or prowl pinterest or the archives for some new color combos--Olive on that bright blue or fuschia is great!

Keep them if you still love them. If not - pass them on.

I think the bright colors are less current, although still perfectly acceptable to wear. From what I'm seeing in stores and magazines, this fall will be all about almost-neutrals like burgundy and olive.

I'm not sure, either, but I say keep them if you love them.

I'd wear them! Don't know if that means they're in style or not. But those are beautiful colors and I say if you still enjoy wearing them keep on!

Based on your opinions, I think I will keep the turquoise blue and cobalt blue and release the fuchsia one to find a better home. THANKS!

I think you made a wise choice - the two blue pants will be much easier to style. They look like they fit you perfectly.

I like them all . I have bootcut and straight leg in various colors ( other than black,white and shades of indigo blue) . Mine are a near rainbow ( I don't have a purple- yet, but true red, soft orange,lemon yellow, lime/grass green, teal green, blue teal,sky blue are represented in my wardrobe and aren't going anywhere!
I used to have a pair of cobalt bellbottoms but they wore out.

Absolutely, they are still good to wear! Those specific colors are very nice, not to mention versatile. They are a great casual look with tennis shoes or summer sandals (not flip flops, though...uggghhhh) and a t-shirt or a tank top, but can also be a great dressy-casual outfit with a blouse and heels!
