Jeans are one of the best fashion investments to make. You can keep them for years and, although they may fade or rip, they’re still totally wearable. Never mind if your favourite pair is out of style at the moment, they’ll be back before you know it.
Just make sure that they still flatter your figure before adding them back into your clothing rotation. To find the styles that best suit you, use your body type as a guide.
1. How to Wear Skinny Jeans
Skinny leg jeans have long been a wardrobe staple for every fashion-loving woman. The snugly-fitted style is easy to wear and can have an incredible slimming effect on your legs while still highlighting your great curves. This season is all about finding the right balance for your skinny jeans. As most skinnies come in a dark blue wash or black (these are the most flattering colours), find balance by pairing them with light coloured tops and shoes. White tops, in particular, look fantastic when paired with denim. Choose a loose, flowing style, such as this season’s off-the-shoulder top, to balance out the extreme slim look of your pants.
2. How to Wear Ripped Jeans
Ripped jeans are a style that everyone has tried at one point in their lives. The deliberately distressed style of denim is available in a range of cuts but always offers a similar feel. The tears, holes, and frayed edges create a messy, undone look with a dose of grunge. This season, tame your ripped jeans by pairing them with decidedly done-up pieces. The balance of polish will tone done the grunge feeling of your jeans and create an edgy fashion look. Wear pieces that are sleek and that offer coverage to offset the flashes of skin from your legs. A turtleneck sweater and blazer is an easy way to achieve the desired look. Finish your outfit with chic accessories, such as high heels, a clutch, and sunglasses.
3. How to Wear Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans make for a cute and relaxed weekend look that is comfortable and fun to wear. This season, pair your boyfriend jeans with a loose, knit jumper (worn half-tucked) for cooler weather and a crop top or loose shirt (worn tucked-in) for warmer weather. Whatever you choose, make sure you keep your waist defined to help balance out the weight of these slouchy, oversized pants. When it comes to footwear, boyfriend jeans can be dressed up or down this season. Pair them with some open-toe heels to add polish or wear them with this year’s must-have casual shoe, the white sneaker. Just remember to roll the cuffs of your boyfriend jeans up at the bottom. Doing so will provide a flash of skin at the ankles that will stop your body from looking overwhelmed in fabric.
4. How to Wear Cropped Jeans
Cropped jeans are one of the hottest styles this season, no matter if they’re bought this way or DIY chopped from a longer pair. The simple cut is most commonly seen on straight and skinny-leg styles of jeans that sit on the hips. Wear your cropped jeans this season with the hems finishing approximately one to two inches above your ankles. This small flash of skin will create a perfect balance when worn with flat, closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers and brogues. If you want to wear heels, choose low, chunky styles with closed toes to maintain the look. Finish off this perfect weekend outfit with a relaxed top to keep things casual and let the length of your jeans be the focus.
5. How to Wear High Waisted and Mom Jeans
High waisted and mom jeans are just so wrong that they’re right. We don’t know what exactly it is, but there’s just something so stylish about those mid-blue, straight leg styles. Perhaps it’s the way they perfectly cinch the waist, creating that coveted hourglass silhouette. Or perhaps it’s the way that they elongate your legs. Whatever it is, we love them. If you love them too, wear them proudly this season. Just remember to leave the rest of your mom’s old wardrobe at home and choose stylish pieces instead. Try feminine blouses and tops in lightweight cotton and satin to add a modern and chic touch. If you’re still worried about the look being not quite right, add high heels for an instant boost of youthful style.
