I have a confession to make: I’m a denim addict.
My latest obsession is this pair of J Brand jeans that I luck-fully scooped up at Nordstrom Rack for $17. (…Yeah, really!) I almost passed ‘em up, being initially uncertain whether or not they’d be very versatile, but au contraire! This universally chic shade is a trendy alternative to your basic blues and a must-have in my closet.
Grey jeans come in a variety of washes, from charcoal to graphite to washed-out heather, like I’m wearing here. Though they’re grouped with the likes of black and white as a classic color, in denim, their claim to fame is an edgy kind of unconventionalism.
You can style them multiple ways: from smartly androgynous (think genderless basics: blazer, jeans, oxfords) to casually chic (with a pink blouse or basic white T-shirt).
Wearing: Jeans, J Brand (similar) / Top, Old Navy (I wore it earlier this week, too) /
Tank, Anthropologie / Ring, H&M / Shoes, Tory Burch (also worn here)
If you’re up for trying this trend and are not feeling completely daring, give darker shades a go - they tend to be more forgiving and flattering. If you’re feeling bold or nostalgic for sunshine and a crisp white pair of jeans, go for the lighter shades!
As with all denim, the possibilities are endless! Just remember to consider the cut: If you want a relaxed, casual look, pull on a pair of boyfriend or bootcut jeans. A straight-leg is always classic, and skinny styles tend to work best on us petite gals.
Don’t the trees look amazing? There are a few lingering signs of summer here in Chicago, so I’m taking full advantage before open-toe shoe season (sans tights) is officially over.
Okay, let’s browse! Do you own colored jeans? How do you style them? Here are some of my favorite styles as of late:

I love jeans with zippers and yours are really cool.
I've been telling myself I can't just always throw on black with my grey jeans. Love the color pop! Thanks for the inspiration, I can always count on you for that!
Oh I love the zipper detail on your jeans…I also love them paired with the yellow shoes! Brilliant! I have a pair of purple skinny jeans that I should probably wear more. lol!
