23 summery coloured denim pieces that even grown-ups can wear

The thought of coloured denim? It's enough to make any grown woman reel - but it really, really shouldn't.

While your classic blue, white and black jeans all sing with familiarity (and there's no denying they go with everything), it's time to consider expanding your palette for summer. As seen on Instagram stars (see fashion blogger Lucy Williams below) and our favourite models, nothing is off limits when it comes to coloured denim, from pale green cut-offs to orange mini skirts and vivid red jeans.

To keep your look from verging on the pre-teen, make sure to match your coloured denim with neutral tones. Pair ASOS's lilac straight leg jeans with some black leather sandals, Stella McCartney's cobalt blue a-line skirt with a white tee, or Isabel Marant's high-waisted orange jeans with a black bralette for chic daytime looks.
