Colored Pants

Hey all,

     What do you think of colored pants?  Here's a gallery of some different styles consisting of colored pants, and my thoughts on them.

     All of these styles are great for a preppy, colorful look.  H&M, Topman, and ASOS all have great colored pants and chinos.  I plan to order some blue and yellow skinny chinos soon, and I will review them as soon as possible.  

     Colored pants look great with more plain-colored blazers.  For example, the 2nd photo, where yellow pants are paired with a navy blazer, and blue pants matched with a white blazer.  Overdoing the color in the blazer would ruin the outfit, so stick with something more normal like navy, black, white, brown, or grey.  For the shirt underneath I suggest either a plain white, a different shade of the pant color, or a complementary color to the pants.  For example, with a bright blue pair of pants, wear a lighter blue shirt or a plain white button-down.  For a color such as red or yellow, a blue shirt would go well.  Just play around with the shirt and see what works for your style.

     My final advice is to be confident in what you are wearing.  If you are wearing colorful pants you will stand out, and you need to appear confident in your style, otherwise you will just look goofy.

Check back in for reviews on the pants I end up getting, and thanks for reading!
