    Coloured jeans?

    So I've pulled all my winter clothes out of storage and need to replace 3 or so pairs of jeans.

    I've seen a lot of coloured denim around, purples, red, pastels and every other colour in between. But I can't make up my mind if I like the look or not.

    So what do you think of coloured jeans?

    I have a red pair and a purple pair from Suzanne Grey. Really comfy

    I have a few from Nobody - black, navy and 2 different reds. While I love them the red ones don't go with a lot of things so aren't as versatile as the black and navy ones.

    I really liked the Berry coloured ones from Target. When I tried them on I did not like them. I just felt funny. I say try a pair on and see how you feel.

    I think they're great - feel a bit more dressed than just jeans IYKWIM.

    I'm very jealous you're even considering winter clothes. Not sure Perth is going to hold winter this year :-(

    I'm not a fan personally - because I see them as quite the extroverted type clothing and I am the total opposite. I also think they would limit what you can wear with them.

    I have purple. Goes well with my black with purple flecks jumper. But I got the Emerson brand from Big W and everything seems to stick to them, like fluff etc.

    Love love! I think there are muted tones like burgundy that aren't that out there but I want a pair of red and bright blue!! I hate always being in black over winter so can't wait to drop a few kgs before I go and get a few pairs! Love that Big W and a few others are doing them for a reasonable price too!

    I love the blue ones at Cotton On - I keep seeing them and have decided I need a pair!

    I do love them but I wouldn't buy them because mostly I like to buy things that won't date quickly.

    I have red, unfortunately I was too far along when I bought them so they're hanging in the wardrobe waiting for me to squirt this baby out and lose some weight.

    I love the look, I'm going to buy some different colours.

    Love them! I'm looking forward to buying some for winter. I think they're quite versatile and a bit more interesting that standard denim.

    I prefer the darker tones - pastels are very hard to pull off/can be a bit unflattering.

    Love the look! But... I'm still not sure that it's one that I can pull off well. I'm planning on doing a bit of a shopping free and sprucing up my winter wardrobe in the next few weeks (need to drop a little more of the baby weight first) and they're high on my list to try out. Personally I love the jade green ones.

    I don't have any but I love them! A nice change from the ordinary. My sister also said that her Big W ones get fluffy very easily.

    I've got plum onse from Jeanswest and am really happy with them - I just wanted one pair, but not something that was really out there and these are good. Colour, but not in your face.

    And I found a great necklace that is the perfect colour to bring the outfit together!

    I have bright blue ones which I love! I normally wear them with plain tops and flat shoes, so the outfit isn't too overpowering (mind . I am pretty sure that DH is going to buy me a red pair for Mothers Day - then I hope he takes me somewhere so I can wear them

    I need a black pair to go with a gorgeous red peplum top I bought.

    Going to look for a dark red, purple and probably a bright blue.

    Unfortunately no trying on for me or cheap options, ordering online so they will fit over my big bum! And then will need the wait taken in, pants/jeans always end up costing me a lot!
