There is no denying that 80's trends are back in style. For my husband, it's all too soon. The memories of his neon aqua snow suits still haunt his dreams. Despite his efforts to keep me from repeating fashion mistakes of the past, I find myself jumping on the bandwagon of neon colors, over sized shirts, and tapered jeans (now called skinny jeans), which brings me to today's question......
Should we be jumping back into patterned jeans?
I think the answer depends on how you wear them.
- Are you short? Tall?
- Curvy? Athletic? Petite? Large and in charge?
- Are you trendy? Do you often branch out of your comfort zone?
- Do you have the right shoes to wear it with?
- Will you go with flats? Heels? Flip flops?
- Where are you going to be wearing them?
- How often will you wear them?
I believe all of these questions need to be answered before purchasing a pair of patterned jeans. Though many of the patterns are really cute, I don't think everyone looks good in every pattern. However, I do believe there is a pattern the suits everyone, you just have to find it!
Keep the size of the pattern in mind. In general a smaller repeating pattern is less obnoxious. That being said, I love the subtle patterns. I recently bought a pair of leopard print skinny jeans! Call me "crazy," but they are actually pretty tame as far as patterns go. The colors used are darker and though you can definitely tell they are leopard print, they don't scream for (too much) attention!
I believe styling plays a very important role when wearing a bold pattern! This model proves that, if done right, a large, bold print can look stunning. Make sure you style your look from head to toe. She looks great!
Remember that anytime you wear a pattern you are making a statement. So while I definitely think this trend is worth a try, wear it when you want to be seen because you will draw attention!
Do yourself a favor and remember to ALWAYS try clothes on!
Especially when you are attempting something new!
