Colored pants are hot, but can be a difficult fashion to style properly, so how do you do wear colored pants in a way that makes you look great?
Colored pants are very attention getting so it’s easy to overdo with too many colors. If you are pairing it with a patterned top, choose one in neutral colors, like the Merona black and white pullover sweater shown below with Merona chinos and coordinating accessories (choose shoes and accessories that do not distract or clash with too much color or patterns- it’s easier on the eyes and looks more appealing):

If the top is solid or simple, you can be a little more daring and use color, or choose a top in black or white to really make the colored pants pop. My favorite top to wear with colored pants is basic black without much texture or detailing, because the pants are enough of a statement on their own, but a little bit of interesting detail in your top or accessories is fine if minimal. A tee like the one below doesn’t compete with these awesome blue Merona chinos, and everything else is neutral, for an overall classically casual vibe with the colored pants trend:

Merona Washed Chino Pants or Twill Pants let you go bold on color in an affordable way that is full of style and appeal. I especially love wearing colored pants with heeled boots or booties during the fall. The Merona Pullover Sweater is so versatile; it can be worn with colored pants as featured here, or with a pencil skirt, jeans, tailored pants, anything. Pairing it with a coordinating scarf is a great way to keep you looking cool while keeping warm in the cool autumn months.

I love the idea of bright bottoms. I don’t think I could pull it off but I like it on other people.
I’ve tried to pull off this look but don’t think it works on me 🙁
I love the black coat!
I absolutely love the first look!
How I wish I could pull an outfit together like those!
I love colored pants when I see them put together…I keep saying I need to get some and never do.
I love your picks! I’m so basic and stick with denim or khaki but these add a fun pop of color and style to everyday outfits.
That black and white sweater looks so comfy! I’m not big into colored pants, they remind me too much of the styles back when I was in junior high, LOL!
I have a turquoise pair I usually only wear in the spring. I need to give them a go in the winter with a brown sweater or something.
