The other day someone asked, “Is the colored denim trend on its way out?” To which I replied, “Great gracious! I HOPE NOT!!” I don’t think so at all. I realize that 98% of fashion and trends are totally determined by what the retailers sell and, well, opinions… but to me, colored denim is a trend that isn’t even really a trend to me anymore – I think it’s here to stay. Feel free to correct me on this in 2-5 years when colored denim is a fashion has-been.

I LOVE colored denim. So. Much. It’s such an easy way to make an outfit instantly more interesting. Sure, this outfit would be fine with the daisy kimono and striped top (oh HAY print mixing!) and regular blue denim… but with the red jeans? So much more fun.

When I was thinking about what I would consider a “fall must-have” – fun, dark colored denim immediately came to mind. Now is the time of year you can play up the reds, the greens, the burgundy colors, the plums. Have fun with it! Play around with mixing and matching. There are SO many options out there!

What about you? Do you love the colored denim trend? Are you a red denim fan? What colors do you want to try this fall? What’s on your fall must-have list?
