Info Post
Sure, jeans come in many different shapes and sizes, but they also come in a wide variety of colors. Colorful denim makes it easy to create looks based off of spring/summer's color blocking trend and it's much more fun than your favorite pair of plain old blue jeans.

Do you love colored jeans but aren't sure how to style them? Take a look at my suggestions below.

This is a good example of an outfit for someone who is afraid to try color blocking but wishes she weren't. The blue and green go nicely together and are subtly color blocked. To tone down the two colors, neutral accents are added that give the look a casual, earthy feel. 
For accessories, try delicate gold necklaces layered together for bohemian flair.

This outfit is a perfect choice for a more casual day at the office because it combines everyday elements with more formal details. The pink jeans are contrasted with a stark white sweater. The blazer pulls the outfit together and the heels add a formal aspect (for an entirely different look, switch the heels out for flat neutral sandals and replace the blazer with a cardigan). The statement necklace is enough to accessorize the entire outfit, giving the look that extra pop.

Either of these styling options will work with any color of jeans, though the first look shouldn't be worn with light blue jeans for obvious reasons. To make these outfits work for your wardrobe, choose neutral shoes (or colored shoes that don't match the jeans, if you're being daring with color blocking) and an extra layer to pull everything together, either a cardigan or a blazer. Accessories should be limited, because you want the jeans to stand out. Subtle gold bangles or necklaces are a good choice.

Now, go out and find your perfect pair of colorful jeans!
