Trending in 2012: Colored Denim

Forget Apple Bottoms — candy-colored jeans are even sweeter. No longer exclusive to our pre-teen pasts, these bright hues make a bold statement and lend themselves well to both monochrome and color-blocking trends.

J.Crew's spring denim line comes in a spectrum of colors ranging from "light citron" to "festival green." But if you're not ready to don a "neon persimmon," the Gap has an eye-catching electric blue pair that's less daring, but just as unique. Try tucking a striped top or a colorful button-up shirt into your jeans and then top the look off with a skinny belt for an outfit that's classic in shape but so 2012 in color.
