As a high contrast person I have played around with the idea on several occasions. Dark red's a good color on me in general, though I have trouble with the feeling that I just don't need another pair of jeans.

Perhaps when my beloved formerly black jeans finally pass away. They're getting close...

Alternatively...


I can think of five or six people on the forum who will buy red jeans tomorrow in the hope of aping that look :-/

Isn't Contract (in regards to people) the difference between skin tone and hair color?

Wouldn't that make black people, low contract? Since they tend to a have dark colored hair as well?

I purchased three linen jackets over the weekend, tan, blue, and red. Not sure if I can pull it off yet. I guess I will have to wait for it to arrive to see.

Obviously not with red jeans though.

Who say that jeans have to be blue or black?

What the hell is happening to me?! I am coveting red pants now, after looking through this thread and the milano challenge.

oooh I love my red jeans. Personally, I like to pair it with a grey casual sweater, or, if I'm feeling very high contrast, with a white shirt and green loafers.

Although an old thread, as I was searching myself I thought Id add this for those searching in the future..

Just purchased some Borrelli red jeans.. amazing quality. They cannot even be described as jeans as most know it. The denim is incredibly supple and soft. So soft I am concerned how they will wear..

Anyway...where is SPRING?!
