One of the denim trends for women this season is the coloured skinny jeans. So you hop aboard the trend-wagon and buy a pair. And two weeks later, the trousers are still hanging in your closet because it's not a go-to garment like your true blue pair(s). So how do you avoid buyer's regret and still look stylish?
In this week's installment of Style.This, we bring you a pair of uber-cute tomato-red skinnies:
As before, we'll put together two complete outfits using this pair as a centre-piece, and hope you get as inspired as we did.
Keeping the rest of the palette warm and neutral for the accessories, camel is a great colour to go for, and it's all the rage this season, so a pair of strappy sandals is a good choice. Heels automatically command attention, but if you're not comfortable, gladiators in the same colour will work almost as well. Team it with a camel tote like the one below, and you're good to go.

Daytime Chic by S

Since the red provides such a lovely pop of colour, we can tone down the accessories to create a look that is perfect for daytime.
We start off with a basic striped tank in a colour that matches the jeans. This is a perfect option for an easy breezy casual look, whether you're out for a day of shopping, or rocking a lunch date. In fact, since the jeans are a solid colour, you don't even have to stick to stripes; any graphic will do. It should also work in the office, but if your workplace environment is a more formal one, you opt for a white button-down shirt instead.

Whether at work or play, layering on a smart blazer over the tank will instantly add sophistication to your outfit, and make the jeans appropriate for the office as well as a chic choice for a day out on the town. We're totally digging this stripped-down lapel-free option that says smart without being too formal.
You don't have to go for a blazer, though. A nice cardigan in sand or camel, with a skinny tan belt around your waist will achieve a similar effect.

Since we're talking daytime casuals, you don't want to bling this look up too much. Chances are, you'll be wearing this to a job interview or a work lunch, and you don't really want to go in jingling, right?
That said, we simply couldn't resist this gorgeous boyfriend watch. Man-style women's watches are becoming increasingly popular as more celebs adopt the comfort and convenience of the large dials, so this is a good time to invest in one, like this gorgeous rose-gold one.

We purposefully didn't pick out jewellery for this look, because that's something you can customize according to the occasion.
Since this is a daytime look, the make-up should be light and natural. Skip the lipstick and go for a sheer lip stain and pair with brown eyeliner and you're ready to rock just about any casual occasion the day might bring you.

A Lady in Rouge by M
Let's take a sharp turn from S' look. We've shown you how easy it is to pull off a color in our item today with softer tones. But what about dipping those jeans into something that brings the glam? Subtle is not the keyword for this look. It's brave and bold to even think about wearing such hot red skinny jeans. There is plenty of youth in this style of clothing, but the more important step is to obtain that matured sophistication. As much as the street style we've seen, the majority of women like to play it safe. There is nothing wrong with that, it's just playing it safe can be, at times, boring. You want to look chic and make a statement without looking like a wreck. Aside from being confident, it takes the correct colors and tones to make the entire look attractive. The idea behind it is to have fun with complimentary shades.
