30 Ways To Wear: Green Skinny Jeans

December seems like the perfect time for my thrifted green skinny jeans to star in a 30 ways to wear post! They could be considered a very festive shade of green. I haven't worn them with red but I have worn them with a lot of other colours so I'm putting this post together to give you some outfit ideas and inspiration if you have a similar pair of jeans - or pants!



30 Ways To Wear: Green Skinny Jeans





I thrifted these jeans a little over 2 years ago, back in August 2018. They were a $5 bargain opshop find, especially considering that they were new with tags and petite sizing. Being short I usually have to get jeans hemmed unless I buy cropped or petite styles - so happy these are perfect length on me! Also the only pair of Asos petite jeans I've tried before. I have noticed them starting to get quite baggy when I wear them which I'm not too impressed with, but having worn them 30 times and only spent $5 on them I really can't complain!


Cost Per Wear

30 wears at $5 works out at 17 cents a wear which is really impressive! And despite them getting a little baggy I'm still going to keep wearing these - I don't think I'd have the luck of finding jeans in my size and length, also new with tags and just $5 in an opshop again! I'm also surprised that these hit 30 wears so quickly - I was wearing them frequently this spring to hit that goal with them admittedly, but I've also found them really easy to rewear so often. I used to be a bit scared of green but I've been embracing it more and all the different ways I've worn these jeans is a good example of that!



Green Jeans Worn With Black

One of the simplest ways to wear green jeans - with black! The perfect neutral that goes with everything, you don't have to worry about colours clashing with this combo. And there are so many good options - black tees, jackets, cardigans, kimonos, tanks... Sticking with neutral pieces for the rest of your outfit lets the green jeans really shine. You can always add in a bit more colour with accessories too thought like I have with the green scarf and bag there.



Spring Outfit Ideas For Green Jeans

I like wearing my green jeans in spring - they work well with kimonos which are a staple for me in warmer weather. Especially navy kimonos. Bright spring-like colourful printed tops go so well with the green jeans too! Such a fun pair to pull out for spring when we tend to embrace a bit more colour.


Winter Outfit Ideas With Green Jeans

Of course I don't just restrict myself to one season with these green jeans! While they worked well with light layers above for spring they also work really nicely as a pop of colour with all the extra layers you need in winter! Knits, cardigans or scarves and a bright pair of jeans is a cosy and comfortable outfit with a little extra colour among all the winter greys! I like to do the same thing with my red jeans too.


Green Jeans and Printed Tops

Another super simple combination I repeat often (although you can see I have a fondness for stripes!). Much like classic blue jeans, these green jeans go so nicely with a printed tee or tank - stripes, animal print, polka dots... jeans and a printed top is such a staple outfit formula and one you can continue to wear even with colourful jeans like these.



Green And Yellow Outfit Ideas With Green Jeans

This is a bolder and brighter combination - you can see how I kept it small in a few of these outfits. Adding a little yellow accessory or two, or layering up with neutral navy scarf and cardigan over a yellow tee to downplay the bright pairing a little. Or going all out, with the mustard cardigan and marigold tee for something really statement-making. Any shade of yellow works so well with this shade of green!



Green and Blue Outfit Ideas

I used to believe the "blue and green should never been seen" rule, but now I know it's a silly one! Blue and green should definitely be seen - and I've certainly worn a lot of different shades of blue with these jeans. Navy is a good fail-safe shade to try, but I can't resist a brighter pop with cobalt either! Wearing these jeans with blue is my favourite kind of outfit combination.

Monochromatic Dress and Bag Combination Outfits: Weekday Wear Linkup!

Making the most of the warm summer-like spring days and wearing simple dress outfits. Making them a little monochromatic by picking handbags in similar shades, but then breaking with it a little as the shoes are black and white!

What I wore:

Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day for my youngest boy! He'd been looking forward to a party for weeks and today was the day! I didn't want to dress up too much so I wore this pretty Kmart tiered midi dress with a pair of sneakers to keep it casual. Helpful for all the running around we did the morning of the party too with the school drop off! I wanted to try this pretty pastel Rebecca Minkoff small Darren bag with the fuchsia pink dress, I really liked the combination together of the different shades of pink! And then of course I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with this blush tassel necklace. I've worn it together with the bag before, it's a combination I really like.

This dress was so perfect for the hot day too - the party was outdoors so I just sat in the shade away from the still hot afternoon sun as my little one ran around with his friends.

BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This was a really busy day! I'd taken the day off as I had a couple of appointments and things to do that were easier without the kids. After school drop off I headed out to my fave trail, camera in tow to take some pics and have a relaxing start to the day. Even got an outfit pic! Luckily the nature photographer with cameras literally hanging off him didn't see me as I passed him on the trail later with my laughable little camera as he was too busy trying to get a pic of something I couldn't see through the trees. I did get some good pics of some birds and a butterfly myself further along the trail though, although I'm sure he got better ones with one of his giant zoom lenses. 😂

I'd seen this dress pop up on my Insta archives a few days before and knew it was due another wear - was nice and light for a hot morning, even though I was out on the trail early it was pretty warm! Spent the morning running errands and ticking things off my to-do list. With the chambray dress and the navy micro Bedford bag it was looking a bit monochrome, I decided to add the mustard tassel earrings to break it up a little as the blue ones I'd been considering felt like a bit much. This was a really comfortable outfit all day, from a zoom launch in the morning, running errands and even at my little one's appointment later in the evening. I did swap the cute ballet flats for my running shoes before walking along the trail though!



How You Can Wear It:

A nice block colour dress is so easy to accessorise with! You can try a monochromatic look by picking a bag in a similar shade, either lighter than the dress (like in the first outfit) or darker then the dress (like in the second outfit). Such an easy way to wear a colourful bag - see the video above for more ideas!
