Current/Elliott Introduces Leopard & Floral Jeans for Spring

Kathy Ng Hassan — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:21:38 +0000

Denim brand Current/Elliott has taken colored jeans to a new level for Spring 2012 by offering leopard prints and florals in their popular Stiletto low-rise skinny jeans fit. The neon-striped and floral prints are sold out and hard to find online, but you can find the leopard print jeans at many online retailers. From a faded “dusty peach” to “petal-pink” to “mint,” you can explore the wild side of color in these easy-on-the-eyes pastel hues. However, if you are really in love with a more traditional leopard jean, Current/Elliott also has the reddish “fig,” black, gray and camel colored leopard jeans, denim skirts and jacket. Pair your leopard pastel jeans with black booties or a neutral colored shoe, and you’re ready to rock.

Get the Look: Fashion Blogger Kristina Bazan in Hot Pink Jeans

Kathy Ng Hassan — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:04:37 +0000

We spotted Kristina Bazan, a fashion blogger from Switzerland sporting a chic winter style, offset by neon hot pink jeans. She is combining a couple of fashion staples with an on-trend colored jean. Her street style seems quite ready for the weekend and for a night out on the town. Who ever said bright jeans are only for the summer might be revising their style book. Want to liven up your winter? We found a few hot pink jeans you might just fall in love with.

We love the structured blazer on Kristina, a definite closet staple for fashion bloggers, but we also love that she plays with her looks by rotating in some colored denim. Layer your blazer with a bit of faux fur, like a fur vest from Blu Moon (available at Singer22), and you’ll turn heads in no time.

Why Guys Should Try Colored and Raw Denim

Sarah Greene — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:00:06 +0000

Meet Marc, a 28-year-old from Brooklyn whose denim life changed after winning the Denim Therapy / Blank NYC white jeans giveaway. He went from H&M and Uniqlo blue jeans to BDG colored denim and d.brand raws in just a few shorts months after realizing the new hues and textures were just as easy to wear. It’s a lesson for the male masses! Be adventurous this season with your jeans, guys! You won’t be sorry.

Ashley Tisdale stepped out in Minkpink Slasher Flick Shorts recently, sporting a boho look that makes us long for summer, short-shorts sans-tights, and breezy jackets. She paired the destroyed denim with a sequined top and beige mid-calf rise boots, along with the “celeb in hiding” uniform: oversized sunglasses and a beanie hat.

Colors, Prints, & Coated Metallics For Hudson Jeans Spring 2012

Michelle Christina — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:18:31 +0000

Hudson Jeans showed a delicious palette of sorbet hues for their spring 2012 colored denim in vintage-inspired desaturated washes. The Nico super-skinny midrise was translated into everything from banana yellow to watermelon (can’t you almost taste them?), and also appeared in more classic light and dark blue washes. Among our favorite styles, an acid wash cropped skinny with an ankle zipper, dark-wash houndstooth-printed shorts, and a series of metallic coated jeans in silver, icy blue, and gold, which stylists are apparently pulling like crazy for spring editorials.

Not punk enough for you? They’re also running a paint-splatter jean and metallic snake skin skinnies for the party animals in the audience, and a gorgeous oversized feather-print motif white jean that will inevitably end up on numerous A-list celebs. Naturally we scoped out the new tuxedo pant as well, but we’re not as crazy about those. Believe us, the best color combos for that style are coming out in the summer! (We saw ‘em all, but we can’t give you the details yet.)

Look out for these gorgeous styles hitting stores in the spring, and if you just can’t wait, shop Huds on Jeans online today!

For spring, Rag & Bone has released two new styles that we absolutely adore.
