How to Wear: Green Pants

Bright denim is everywhere, but a lot of people struggle with what to pair with statement pants.   I recently picked up a pair of green corduroy, so I figured I'd share some ideas.

Look #1: A day of shopping

A white blouse is a no-brainer pairing with bright colored pants.  Kelly green looks great with brown tones and I think leopard is a fun twist.   Pull it in with a scarf or pair of shoes like the look above.   Throw on a worn in leather jacket, and you're ready for a Saturday of shopping with some friends.

Look #1 Pieces:

Blouse: Equipment white silk sleeveless blouse ($188, Shopbop)

Necklace: Belle Noel side wishbone gold necklace ( $45, Shopbop)

Shoes: Leopard sidewalk skimmer flats ($135, Madewell)

Pants: J BRAND green corduroy skinny jeans ($78, The Outnet)

Jacket: Brown leather double breasted bomber ($495, Madewell)

Look #2: Comfy brunch

Second to a white blouse, I think chambray is the easiest top to wear with bright jeans (or in this case cords).  Paired with some low-heeled boots and a fun nautical scarf that almost matches, you're good to go.

Look #2 Pieces:

Pants: MEK Emerald Denim 5-Pocket ($89, Last Call)

Shirt: Light washed two pocket denim shirt ($60, Madewell)

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita brown leather boots  ($129, Shoes.com)

Bag: Clare Vivier navy blue leather cross body satchel ($210, Bodie on Fou)

Scarf: Navy and green nautical sailboat scarf ($10, ModCloth)

Look #3: A night out

Don't think that you can't wear green pants for a night out?  You can!  This coated pair works great with a sleek black tuxedo blazer and whimsical blouse.  By letting the jeans be the only color in your outfit, the look becomes more evening appropriate.  The casual striped clutch keeps it from being too serious.

Look #3 Pieces:

Blazer: AllSaints black tuxedo blazer ($295, AllSaints)

Earrings: Gorjana rose gold hoop earrings ($64, Zappos)

Clutch: Clare Vivier black and white striped leather clutch ($173, Shopbop)

Pants: Current/Elliott Coated low-rise stretch-denim skinny jeans ($80, The Outnet)

Blouse: Moschino polka-dot silk-crepe tie neck blouse ($795, Net-a-Porter)

Shoes: Sam Edelman black suede pointed pump ($100, Cusp)
