Coral Pants

How to Tease Hair
How do you feel about colored pants?
They are everywhere right now, and perfect for spring/summer wardrobes.

It took me awhile to find the right pair. I had a similar situation with my recent purchase of denim cropped skinnies. I had to go up a few sizes, and then they fit perfectly. So once I understood that sizing of “skinny” vs.  sizing of traditional cuts are not even close to each other, I had an easier time finding some colored skinnies. 

Then it was just deciding on the color! 

I went with an orange-y coral. Is anyone surprised? I didn’t think so.

Also, my friend Hayley, who blogs over at The Tiny Twig, wrote this great e-book on how to get dressed with less fuss. She helps you narrow down your wardrobe to the essentials, and make it easier to create outfits and get dressed quicker. 
Doesn’t that sound nice?
I read it and it helped me step back and examine my wardrobe. And also be a little bit more creative when it comes to pairing certain items together!
It’s definitely worth the read to learn about how to pair certain items together, how to layer, and how to shop more effectively!

AND it’s only $7.99!!

Love the colored pants & especially love the coral color! I’ve been trying to find a fit that I like & I’m also struggling!! Maybe I just need to try & go up a couple sizes?! Uggh!! You know us women don’t like to hear that!! Oh well, whatever works, right?!

Just cut that tag out of your pants and you’ll never see the size again!

I just found some at the GAP that are a great fit and length! They have some stretch in them so are super comfortable. I ended up going with a coral color as well…great color. I’m thinking oh going back to get another pair in a different color because I love them that much!

Perhaps it’s just me (entirely probable) but I just couldn’t get the link to the book to work!

LOVE the pants on you! I have similar coloring, being pale, blonde, and I always find that orange and coral look really nice on me. Thanks so much for sharing

Ashley @ Coffee and Apple Juice says · 04.03.12

I absolutely LOVE this trend… however, I am so frustrated because I can’t find a pair to fit me right. If they fit around the waste they are super skin tight in the rear and legs and if I go up a few sizes so they aren’t so tight they are way too big in the waist. I have almost given up…. I tried on some at Old Navy that fit pretty well, but they were more like capri style and I am really wanting just regular pants or cropped. These look super cute on you!

I’ve always had “thick” legs from thigh to knee. I tend to go for neutral bottoms and colored tops. Putting color on the bottom would draw the eye to my legs which is seriously the last place on my body I want anyone looking at. However, on cute girls, such as your cute self, color is awesome. I love seeing all the color coming back into everyone’s wardrobe.

I keep seeing this trend, and I really didn’t think it was for me, but this looks awesome! I am also reading The No Brainer Wardrobe. I’ll admit, I had to step away for a moment when I read that she thinks 60 articles of clothing is enough. Yikes! 😉

Gap maternity–turquoise and fuschia for around $70. Also some color khaki capris. I have the always skinny maternity jeans from gap and they mean it when they say they fit skinny… especially around calves/ankles.

I agree with the first comment/compliment – ever since I first started following your blog, I couldn’t figure out who you looked like!! That’s who!!!! haha

Jennifer says · 04.04.12

I’ve been wishing for some coral capris or skinnies… Yours look great! And… YES about the sizing up – it kills me (having lost SOME weight… not a lot but some, it hurts to have to be back in my old size for skinnies…). However, I’m grateful I’m not the only one it happens to!

Dang, they look great on you!! I always feel like all eyes are on my legs/butt when I try colored skinnies on. I don’t know why, because I never think that about anyone else who wears them! Maybe I should just get brave and try a pair…

wow they look great on you, and great choice for your top! coloured pants make me uneasy..im a bit overweight and i always feel like colour on the bottom will emphasize that. But the more I see them, the more I want to try it! Maybe I will man up and go try some on. It can’t be that bad…… eek!

Coral Pants are trending and definitely the best and most fashionable color to wear this time of year. Among the other various colored pants being worn this time of year they are in high demand due to their stylish appeal and low price in most cases. Also they can be found in almost any stores that sells clothing for women.
