If art & design school taught is one useful thing, it’s that hues of orange and red look great with blue. And while you can translate that using jeans and a top, the ladies of DT are huge fans of throwing the pop color on our lips! We’ve whipped up combinations of our favorite lipsticks and our favorite jeans to show you how makeup and denim can work together in perfect harmony. Show us your own denim x lipstick combinations on our facebook wall!

You might think that animal print isn’t for you, but this fashion blogger shows us just how easy it is to pull this look off! While pairing these leopard skinny jeans with a cami or bright top would take this outfit a bit too far over the wild side, the light-wash denim workshirt is the perfect shirt to make this look completely cool & casual. We love how the blogger really shows off her fun side by adding the little accents of red lipstick, lace up ankle booties (LOVE!), and a simple black fedora. This top and bottom pair is a great way to get in on the denim on denim trend without being blue from head to toe, and lets face it, fashion is way too fun to rock just one color!

Olivia Munn was recently snapped wearing the [BLANKNYC] Pull On Bell Bottom while shopping at Trader Joe’s. She paired her flare-leg jeans with a graphic print sweatshirt and a brown satchel bag. The easy-to-wear ensemble was a perfect choice for errand running. We love that she didn’t leave home without a coat of bright red lipstick to make the look pop. Let this inspire your next trip to the grocery store!

Remember how we told you a t-shirt and jeans can become the hottest outfit in the room? Here’s more proof. LA-based blogger Olivia paired a faded old black t-shirt with a pair of destroyed light-wash denim jean shorts, and some super high-top Doc Martens. Having one element in the outfit that pops (in this case, the boots) can carry other basic pieces and turn what would have been a drab outfit (ie: if she chose flip-flops… which she would never do) into far more stylish territory. Other plus-points? Rich, red lipstick makes the outfit autumn-friendly, and the sleeves of her t-shirt are rolled up for some vintage biker charm. The bottom line? Olivia looks gorgeous, and at the same time, it looks like she just rolled out of bed. If that isn’t the perfect balance, we don’t know what is.

Seconds ago Lady Gaga posted a photo on her twitter showing off her new black-dyed bangs and summoning the beginning of a mass bang-dying phenomenon. Which is fine. But we’re a little caught up on her fierce outfit to run to the hair stylist just yet. Gaga pairs an acid wash top with acid wash jeans of a different hue (so ’90s!) glamming it up with oversized sunglasses, long decorated nails, and her token red lips. Need extra ferocity? Show us your teeth.
