Red Jeans Love {She Wore What}

I saw these jeans online and knew I had to have them. Red jeans. Good looking fit. Swooooon. Virtu was kind enough to send me through a size 22 and 24 because my measurements were pretty borderline despite me being a pretty consistent size 22. they arrived and the debate started on Facebook, Instagram and in my house over which was the better fit. How much would they give? Did I prefer a nice fit at the waist or on the legs? Which ones were basically up my crouch.

You know, the usual.

In the end, I went with the 24. They fit beautifully straight out of the wash. No uncomfortable stretch them in time. Probably being, within a few hours of sitting, they’re too big. By the end of Blogopolis, they were positively baggy. So my Hubby owes me new ones. Lucky they are bringing out a blue, mint green and pink pair. however, as you can see, they pinged back into size with a wash. I’m even a little tempted to toss them in the dryer and see if that brings them down a peg or two.

The short version of this whole tale is I love these jeans.

I want them in all colours and they are comfortable as heck to wear. Not to mention cool. I kept it simple here and paired them with big hair, a black tee and leopard print heels. My first foray into animal print. Like, ever! A lot of people have been asking me how to style coloured jeans, so I’ll be doing a piece on that shortly. Until then, I recommend pairing them with black, white and nude colours. And now, for the butt shot {cringe!}.

  1. Coloured jeans are the best. I picked up a hot pink and mellow yellow pair in spring and I wear them all the time.
    You’re rocking that red, dear! Especially with the leopard print heels.

        Ooh blue!? Very nice :-) Sadly I am a bang on average size 7 shoe so they’re always sold out by the time I get there.

      Would love to. Let’s do it! Online style consultations.

      Haha. Thanks! Loving the combo. I might even venture into a little more leopard print. Maybe. ;)

  8. Ooh, love ’em! I am a bit late to the coloured jean party, but last week went and bought a whole stack cause my Big W finally had some! This are really lovely. You look great in red, and great in such colourful ‘bottoms’!

      Thanks Talia. They’re such a great fit, these jeans. I’ve just ordered the blue on the site and looking forward to adding them to the rotation. Someone told me yesterday that their BigW had heaps..!! They must have restocked them after virtually selling out.

      Haha. Thanks Trudie. I know they say it, but I never really believed them. ;)

  10. They are coming out in a mint green and pink!? SOLD! I think i’m going to have to find a virtu store to see what I look like in them (I always look weird in pants). I loved the red on you at blogopolis, they looked great, even when a little baggy. I like how you styled this, red+leopard=hot!!

      I know, right!? I just got the blue ones. Might have to make another request of the brand one of the others. Can’t keep spending all my blog revenue on coloured jeans. ;)

      Thank you lovely. xo
