Perhaps tie-dye still reminds you of a bygone hippie era, but when coupled with the pastel hues running rampant in the denim world, this look makes for a fresh and modern jeans update. Grab a pair, like J Brand’s Tie-Dye Skinny Jeans in light pink, for a statement piece this summer. Struggling with how to wear it? Grays and other pastels pair well with pastel pink (try mint or pale yellow), as do lighter neutrals. Darker colors are a bit harder to incorporate, but you’re safe with black kicks balanced out by similarly shaded accessories–see for yourself below!

Mandinka, a fashion label from Tel Aviv, Israel, features a majority of their streetwear separates paired with jeans for their Fall 2011 lookbook. Upon further investigation, there were no jeans offered in this collection. It’s puzzling that a brand would do that, but it’s further proof that jeans look great with just about anything, whether it be Mandinka’s leather cropped hoodie, high-low hemmed sweartshirts or track suits reminiscent of Stella McCartney’s Nike collaboration. Having said that, the brand’s chic streetwear separates are both built for comfort and the discriminating feminine city dweller.
