COLOURED
From seriously bright
to pastel peach,
coloured jeans come
in slim cuts for a look
that’s less kids’ TV
presenter and more
cool extra from West
Side Story. Hot colours
have been around for
a while, but this spring
it’s also about sugary
pastels and nudes,
which look great worn under chiffon dresses
and with trench coats for a hint of Burberry.
HOW TO WEAR
Wear brights and pales with a complementary
darker shade... think fuchsia denim with a dark
aubergine top or lilac jeans with a purple blouse.
Or wear with white, greys and nudes. Ankle
boots in a similar shade make legs look longer.
X FDJ jeans has designs that make you look
as if you have dropped a dress size. They
are cut slightly higher on
the waist, so there’s no
muffin top to worry about,
and they have a sewn-in
panel on the waist to
flatten the tummy. Prices
from £99 (frenchdressing
jeans.com).
X Henry Holland for
Levi’s is launching at
the end of next month.
His buckled creations
will be available on
the new fourth floor
of Harvey Nichols

VINTAGE 1: MAKE
EVEN JOLIE
FEEL FRUMPY…
SUNBLEACHED
It may not feel like it
at the moment, but
summer will be here in
a heartbeat, and quiet
colours and worn out
shades will be huge in
everything – including
jeans. They hint
at relaxed days in
meadows and chilledout
weekends.
HOW TO WEAR
Team with pastel
T-shirts, crochet and
broderie anglaise tops
– anything that’s subtle
and pretty (avoid dark
colours). Flip-flops
carry on the laid-back
feel of these jeans.

new denim harem
pant that will work
with heels or flats.
