Pants on Fire

This fall, one of my favorite trends (I have a lot of favorites!) is the bright red jeans. I've tried on fiery jeans at AEO (american eagle outfitters), but they didn't fit right. Saddening, much? Anyway, here are some of my favorites.


These are from J.Crew. The color is not a true red, but it's gorgeous. I think it's kind of coral-y. It work with any skin tone, but for fair skin, this is probably best.


These are Madewell. I love the color because it's a darker red. It's more appropriate for fall/winter, and it could be considered almost a neutral! Every single one of my magazines this month said that red/burgundy/aubergine/wine was the season's neutral.


These next three are all BP. I love Nordstrom BP. I love the way these are faded in a I've-had-them-forever kind of way. That reminds me of my great grandma. She despises distressed/faded/ripped anything, because she said when she was raising her children, she worked extremely hard to make sure her kids had new clothes in almost-perfect condition. She won't shop at vintage stores, and she yells at yellow cars. I love her!


Oh, coral. My favorite. It's a less intense way of wearing red jeans, but the downside is that they are way to spring-y for right now.



Finally! A tried and true red! What can I say? Classics are classics. People will always wear red. It's not my shade, but I could definitely wear a less vibrant shade. I don't know what red does to me, but I don't like it, so I wear wannabe shades of this fiery hue. 

Does anyone else love red? Scared of red? Comment, comment, comment!

Lucky magazine says that if a color doesn't work for you, wear it below the waist. I think they're on to something! I should try a true red.

One more thing. I have all my favorite magazines for this month! I love Lucky, People Style Watch, and InStyle. What are y'all faves?
