Denim jeans are a staple in every closet, but Pippa Middleton has us rethinking our reliance on blue, black and white jeans with a bold pink pair she wore back in 2012.

She went for a street style the vibrant hue, pairing her skinny jeans with a selection of rich and deep black accessories to ground the color and bring an edgy feel to the traditionally feminine shade.

Over the decades, it's become clear skinny jeans are a favorite style for Pippa. She's been spotted in various styles and colors of the denim staple, from sleek black pairs for date nights to bold and bright colors for chic daytime outfits.

It's no surprise why; skinny jeans are comfortable, easy to style and super versatile - even in such a bold color as Pippa's. Whatever you choose, her styling with a black blazer, plaid shirt and chic pair of ankle boots makes for great inspiration.

woman&home's Fashion Ecommerce Editor Caroline Parr says: "Don't make the mistake of thinking skinny jeans are a thing of the past. There's a reason they're loved by everyone from Kate Moss to Pippa's sister Kate! Choosing a head-turning hue is an easy way to mix things up a bit, and you can afford to keep the rest of your outfit really simple. Genius!"

Style Your Pink Jeans

Pippa's look is all about the pink color of her jeans, not just their skinny fit. That means, once you've found the best jeans for your body type, you can easily recreate her look with whatever style suits you best, be that skinny jeans like Pippa's or wide leg and boot-cut jeans too.

Balancing out the bright and bold color of the jeans, Pippa opted to keep the rest of her outfit dark and simple. This made the pink feel really wearable. Layering a longline black blazer over a buttoned up plaid-check shirt brought in just enough pattern to add interest without overwhelming the pink tone and we love the black suede boots she used to ground and finish off the outfit.

The overall look brought the bright jeans into a much edgier realm. The deeper tones made pink work for cooler seasons too, though we can still take inspiration from her to add color and boldness to our spring and summer closets; just swap out her black blazer, shirt and boots for a comfortable black t-shirt or tank top and slip into your favorite black sandals - though a pair of heeled ankle boots is a must in any shoe collection and work perfectly for summer evenings.

Pippa's oversized bag was another great choice of accessory, with the heavy leather texture and slouchy design adding a more casual feel alongside the smarter blazer and shirt, and her sleek pony tail balanced both smart and casual perfectly.
