Jeans are the ultimate wardrobe staple—and we might add, one we can’t live without!
This season, denim is having a major moment with wide-leg, straight-leg, bootcut, and flare styles showing up everywhere. And since we live in this wardrobe essential, finding a few perfect pairs that we go to each day is a joy and a relief!
Wide-leg Jeans
We have been living endlessly in these jeans for several years now—or, if you are like me, for years and years! This silhouette is simultaneously comfy, relaxed, and edgy.
You know the drill when it comes to pairing these jeans with sweaters and jackets, but when it comes to what you wear on your feet, you can go with a pointed-toe flat or kitten-heeled bootie or any combat/lug sole chunky boot for some fun looks!
Straight-leg Jeans
As I shopped the jeans for this blog, I came across straight-leg jeans in abundance. With that in mind, I figured this might be a good style to include—and I found some real treasures.
One of the best ways to pair these is with a mid-calf height boot (several inches above your ankle) that is fleece-lined or lug-soled. Simply ruche your jeans into the top of them for a very casual, fun, relaxed look that brings some yummy chic with it. Another consideration is a slim, straight-leg jean paired with pointed-toe booties. This is a very wow-worthy slenderizing look!
Add a chunky sweater worn out over the top of the jeans and your favorite outerwear jacket for an absolutely stunning look.
Skinny & Slim Jeans
I have to laugh at the fashion world’s conflict over the skinny jean. My take on it is this: let them go for now, except when you want to wear them as leggings tucked into your boots. In that capacity, they serve a real need as we all have our mid-calf, knee-high, and over-the-knee boots, for which these jeans are absolutely necessary. You’ll also see some skinny jeans styled with delicate strappy sandals—another look worth considering. Just a little food for thought!
Bootcut & Flare-leg Jeans
You all know what I am going to say. This is the most flattering style of jean we can put on our bodies—regardless of our body type.
These timeless treasures will serve you endlessly and are best paired with pointed-toe booties, which are great for lengthening and slenderizing… and, of course, fabulously chic! These jeans serve so many capacities, including business casual and casual cocktail, as well as everyday wear. They have that “wow” factor for sure!
