Colorful denim skinnies for the fall 2012 season

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged casual fashion / casual style / denim / fall 2012 / winter 2013 by

Colored skinny jeans were all the rage last spring and summer. Nothing has changed for the fall/winter 2012/2013 seasons. Colorful denim skinnies are still the hottest casual pant on the street for the cool weather season and this time around they are in autumn hues rather than summer brights and springtime pastels.

While printed denim, metallic jeans and other types of casual pants are on-trend for fall 2012, colored denim is the ultimate, number one way to be casual. Skinny jeans in autumn hues such as chocolate brown, burgundy, orange, dark green and classic black are on-trend for fall. In addition to classic fall colors, shades of jewel tones including bright red, purple, cobalt and emerald green are also hot for fall.

Colored denim pants are a great way to instantly update your casual fall wardrobe and they look more polished than regular blue jeans. This makes colored skinnies a great way to feel comfortable and casual yet avoid the sloppy, faded denim look on the weekends. Since colored skinnies are about as tailored as casual clothing can get, they can also be a great option for casual Friday’s at work; if your dress code allows denim.

We found a few fabulous hues for fall around the web and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. What is your favorite fall color for denim skinnies?

Red is a classic color which always has a place in fashion. Although the fashion world can look forward to shades of red for the holiday 2012 season, red has decided to become a bit more prominent at an earlier date this year; that’s right, red is hot for fall.

Red hot red is on fire for the cool weather season and it is not just darker shades of red such as burgundywhich are making an impact this autumn season. Bright and fiery red is also on trend for fall 2012; and the bright hue is making no apologies.

Red is popping up everywhere and on everything for the fall season. There are bright red lips, red fingertips, red accessories, red apparel and even red jewelry. This outgoing hue is being shown both alone and as part of digital prints, color blocking and as an accent color.

Since red is a classic color which pops up every year for the holiday season, it is one color which should be easy to find in your closet at home. Look for bright red shades which can stand alone or be color blocked for a modern update.
Not that into red but feel like rocking the trend anyway? Red nail polish is an easy way to wear red in an understated fashion and also red gemstone jewelry makes a great investment while making a small statement.

What is your favorite way to wear red? Is this a color you love and relate to? Or would you prefer to stick to fall 2012’s darker red hued family; shades of burgundy? Whichever way you choose to wear red, you are sure to be noticed and to make a fabulous, fashionable statement.
