Denim's in the pink for spring - but how do you wear it?

Cinemimi[Monday, February 07, 2011]
Denim never goes out of style. Just ask Kate Moss, who’s rarely seen wearing anything else. But it’s not enough to keep pulling on the same old pair of ­skinnies day-in, day-out.

This season it’s all about colour — pink, to be ­precise. At Isabel Marant’s spring catwalk show ­models wore the softest rose-petal pink pairs, while Current/Elliott has a coral pair in its new collection.

But you needn’t look like Lady Penelope from Thunderbirds. Katy Perry toughened up her candy-floss coloured jeans with a grungy grey vest and biker-esque black bag.

Or you can avoid appearing too girly by changing the shade. Lee has jeans in fluorescent pink and Asos has a similar pair for £35 — wear them if you dare.

And if you don’t do denim, head to Tommy Hilfiger where pastel pink chinos are the order of the day. It’s a short-cut to spring so embrace your inner seven-year-old and reach for the pink denim.

Just remember to counter it with some harder accessories — you don’t want to look like a walking cupcake, do you?
