Shopping Look
When you’re on a mission to find some seriously sassy duds, you’ve got to look fabulous while doing so. One way to do this is by wearing those light blue jeans.
Forget donning anything that resembles neon, and skip the light, faded colors while you’re at it. Your pale pants need darker, richer hues to complement them and help them look their best. Shades on the bright side often clash with your faded pants and can leave you looking washed out.

Instead, opt for an emerald green, three-quarter-length sleeve top. The rich hue will really bring out your skin tones and go oh-so-beautifully with your denim. A sassy necklace and earrings add some spice to the look. Depending on the type of pant you go with, you can get away with a variety of shoes.
For instance, cropped and skinny denim pants will look fab with a pair of stilettos. If boot cut or wide-legged pants are more your style, sandals are the way to go. You can even take this opportunity to debut your new hot pair of boots. Just make sure you can walk around comfortably in whatever kicks you go with.
Date Look
You can totally pull off rocking these quirky pants when going on a date. The key is to wear a super fashionable top with your killer slacks.
For instance, combining your flattering pants with a puff-sleeved sweater gives you a bit of sophistication and is perfect for that date.
To really get into the date mood, roll your straight-legged pants until they are just a bit above your ankle. Now slip into a gorgeous pair of heels. Just about any heel will work, whether it is strappy or a sparkly pump.
Because of the puffy sleeves, the eyes will travel to your arms. Play this up by donning a variety of bracelets to give your arms even more attention.
What Not to Wear
To prevent yourself from looking like a fashion faux pas, you should avoid a few pieces when donning your pants. For starters, tank tops aren’t really flattering with this type of denim, unless you are going for the Kid Rock look.
Additionally, T-shirts will make you look like you’ve just stepped out of a rodeo or grunge concert. If this is what you are going for, however, you’ll nail it. Otherwise, just say no.
Once you know how to wear light blue jeans properly, you can go out in public feeling confident you rocked that denim like a pro.
