Colored jeans first started being a “thing” in the early 2010s, and for a while, it seemed like everyone and their mother was wearing the trend. After a year or two, however, the trend started to die out, and, while it never completely went away, we certainly saw much less of it than we used to when it was “in.”

Lately, however, I’ve noticed colored jeans popping up more often, although this time, it seems that brands are mostly using more muted shades (pale pink and olive green seem to be pretty popular), as opposed to the neon colors that used to be more prevalent (although there are still some brightly colored options to choose from, if that’s what you prefer).

Clearly, colored jeans have faced a pretty quick turn-around, so I don’t blame you if you’re looking at the pair(s) you had from five-ish years ago and wondering how to make them look more current.

Luckily, though, I’ve got you covered; so, keep scrolling to see three ways to wear colored jeans that are cool, fun, and modern, and that will have you looking at the trend through a fresh lens!

This casual and laid-back look, with its (mostly) muted color palette, is the perfect way to ease into the colored jeans trend. It’s also super easy to put together on days when you don’t have much time to get ready (8:00 am class, anyone?).

To get it, put on a comfortable heathered lavender baseball tee, followed by a pair of pale green ripped jeans, which you can roll up at the ankles for an extra-relaxed look.
