Thought blue jeans were the be-all and end-all of denim? Think again. Color is having a major moment on the fashion scene and that trend can be seen with denim taking on more character with bold shades of red, yellow, and even green. Check out these six wearable yet statement-making denim looks featuring green wide leg denim pants.

1. Green Jeans with a Red Blazer and Red Accessories

Make an entrance at work or brunch with bold color-blocking. Whether you're looking at spicing up a Summer day, or disrupting Fall's earthy palette, you're sure to hit the mark with a saturated green and bright red combo! Here I paired my one and only fave green denim pants with a red cami and red blazer for a look that's halfway between preppy and whimsical.

2. Green Jeans with a Green Blouse

Try green on green for days when you want to go monochromatic, but not boring. For an added color effect, throw on minimal, contrasting accessories.

3. Green Jeans with a White Halter Bodysuit

Casual style can be so much more than we tend to make it! Try a fitted bodysuit with wide leg jeans to create that simple yet polished look perfect for errands and outings alike.

4. Green Jeans with a Yellow Blazer

When it comes to color-blocking, the sky's the limit! Put a gutsy spin on classic style with an eye-catching yellow blazer and green jeans combination. Not only will you turn heads, you will also inspire all the neutral-palette-aficionados around you to venture out of their comfort zone.

5. Green Jeans with a Brown Blazer

If you didn't know, now you know that green and brown are a special combo! The classic and more serious vibe of brown balances the fun flair of the green jeans perfectly and actually makes the green pop even more, don't you think? This look delivers a striking alternative to the typical office black-on-black suit and lets everybody around you know that you're not afraid to shake things up and express yourself.

6. Green Jeans with a Belted Denim Shirt

Has it ever crossed your mind that the Canadian tuxedo, which we all like to call "denim-on-denim", could take on a color-blocked spin? Well, case in point is this outfit featuring green jeans with a traditional blue wash denim shirt. This look is as easy to put together as bread and butter and still manages to deliver all kinds of punch! I should say that this Sergio Hudson wide green belt goes a long way to bring playful coordination to this ensemble and elevate the look.

So... you have no more excuses for shying away from colorful denim. Colorful jeans are more versatile than you think, whether they be green, red, or any color that strikes your fancy! Leave a comment and share what color you'll go for and how you'll be styling it!

5 Outfit Ideas to Spice Up Your Office Routine this Fall

I don't know about you, but when it comes to seasonal dressing, Fall is my favorite! It's the season that lets you pile on the knits, the leather, the trench coats, the suede, cool hats and all kinds of arrestive colors - without looking overdone. As someone who works in the corporate world, I love to incorporate all that Fall has to offer into my office looks. Here are 5 outfits you can try to play up your work style this Fall.

1. Red Pants with an Olive Green Shirt and Trench Jacket

I've said it before and I will say it again: the sky's the limit when it comes to color-blocking. Next time you want to go for a classic office look, try pairing your pieces in colorful, contrasting hues for a bold effect. Here I went for red pants and an olive green button down shirt topped with a coat because a layer makes a difference during this time of the year.

2. Burgundy Faux-Leather Skirt with a Green Blouse

Want to add an edgy touch to your Fall office style? Try leather. Or better yet, try faux leather. This material has become a Fall staple for all the good reasons, including the fact that it provides the perfect amount of insulation as temperatures make their way down. Here I paired a burgundy faux leather skirt with a kelly green blouse for a color-blocked effect. I also went for an extra polished allure with pointed toe pumps and a matching belt.

What you see is what you get with this splashy yet office-perfect outfit.

4. Printed Pants with a Burgundy Turtleneck Sweater and Blazer

Okay, so everybody could use a reminder that fun prints are not just for Spring and Summer. Indeed, they are also perfect for Fall and we should not shy away from incorporating them into our office routine. I went for a fun square patterned pair of pants with a matching turtleneck sweater and blazer for a look that screams "I am fashionable, and I mean business too". And because it's boots season, I completed the look with my favorite brown low-heel Aquatalia boots.

5. Monochrome Burgundy Skirt and Jacket Outfit

When in doubt, go monochrome! It's that simple. Here I paired a burgundy faux leather skirt with a matching cropped jacket for a generous dose of wine. I also added my favorite lace-up heels of the moment for that nice transitional touch because letting go of Summer is no easy feat!

7 Ways to Wear Neutral Colors Without Being Boring

We often conflate neutral with boring and lackluster. Wearing shades of brown, black, grey and white doesn't have to look and feel ordinary and deja-vu. The key to making neutral tones pop is to get creative with layering, mixing and matching different tones to create contrast, opt for pieces with character and detail, and not hold back on accessories. Wow, that was a mouth full! Here are 10 outfit ideas that will inspire you to add a bold spin to your neutral looks.

1. Jeans and a checkered sweater

The key here is to play with bold prints to add life to a neutral and tonal outfit. I paired a checkered turtleneck sweater with slim black jeans and a big collar wrap coat for an easy after-hours and weekend look. Tip: for the office, just swap the jeans with a black pair of pants et voila!

2. Black faux leather skirt with houndstooth sweater

If there's one thing that will take your look from simple to edgy instantly, it's a leather bottom. And workwear-wise, a black leather pencil skirt is perfect for the office when paired with dressy shoes and a dressy top. Here I went for a camel and black houndstooth sweater that I topped with a camel coat for that sophisticated touch.

3. Khaki pants with a belted green top

Okay, so the thing to remember when it comes to neutrals is that color shouldn't be excluded. Think light khaki tones that add a touch of color without taking away the overall neutral vibe. This look shows perfectly how to mix tones to create visually appealing neutral style.

4. Brown checkered dress

As I mentioned before, prints are a great way to spice up a neutral outfit. Here I paired a checkered brown sweater dress with brown boots and a crochet brown scarf because accessories are important with neutrals.

5. Blue jeans with striped sweater

Blue jeans have become this quintessential wardrobe piece that just goes with everything. Pair them with bright colors and you have a striking color-blocked effect. Or wear them with soft hues for a neutral vibe. Here I opted for bold stripes to create some color contrast and really take this look to the next level.

6. Black sweater dress with fur scarf and tote

Who doesn't like the soft feel of fur? Not only does it feel super cozy during the cooler months, but fur also adds beautiful texture to an outfit. For this neutral look, I paired a black dress with a fur scarf and a fur tote. I also went for snake-print boots for more texture throughout and a standout effect against the black dress.

7. Blue jeans with a neutral sweater and checkered coat

Notice the matchy-matchy action here. Although no color is popping on this look, the bold patterns create visual interest. The checkered coat colors match the bicolor boots perfectly, and so does the sweater. Again, texture is important hence why I opted for a crochet sweater so the finished look wouldn't be "flat". And as always, distressed jeans always bring a vibe of their own which is why I can never get enough of them!
