How to Wear All the Different Styles of Jeans (and Look Good Doing It)
Sure, you've got your go-to pair of jeans...
But what about when you want to mix things up a bit?
Or when you want to dress up (or down) depending on the occasion?
That's where having a few different styles of jeans in your closet comes in handy. Read on for a crash course in all the different types of jeans—and how to style them so you always look your best.
Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are just that... skin-tight from top to bottom. They're great for showing off your curves, but can be tricky to get right if you don't have a model-esque figure. The key to wearing skinny jeans is to balance them out with a looser, more flowy top. This will prevent you from looking like you're stuffed into your jeans like sausage meat.
Examples: Pair them with a flowy top and heels for a night out or dress them down with a t-shirt and sneakers for a casual look.
Straight-Leg Jeans
Straight jeans are just like they sound—straight from hip to ankle, with no flare or tapering. They have a relaxed fit and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. To style straight jeans, try tucking in a printed blouse and pairing with heels for a night out or keeping things casual with a t-shirt and sneakers during the day.
Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans are another type of relaxed-fit jean. They are loose-fitting through the thigh and flare out at the ankle. To style wide-leg jeans, pair them with a fitted top and heels or wedges to balance out the silhouette. For a more casual look, try pairing them with a t-shirt or tank top and flats.
Cropped Jeans
Cropped jeans are jeans that hit at the ankle or just above it. They are available in both skinny and straight-leg styles. To style cropped jeans, pair them with a heel or ballet flat to show off the ankle detail. For a casual look, try rolling up the hem of your cropped jeans and pairing them with sneakers or sandals.
Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are loose-fitting jeans that are meant to resemble men's denim pants. They are typically cuffed at the ankle and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. To style boyfriend jeans, pair them with a body-con top, blazer and heels for a night out or with a cropped top or half-tucked tee and slip-on shoes or sandals.
Bootcut Jeans
Bootcut jeans are characterised by their flared leg opening. This style is especially flattering on hourglass and pear-shaped figures, as it balances out the hips and elongates the legs. To style bootcut jeans, pair them with a fitted top and heels. This will create a streamlined look that is both stylish and flattering. For a more casual look, pair bootcut jeans with a chunky sweater and flats.
Now that you know all about the different styles of jeans available, it's time to go shopping! With so many options available, there's sure to be a style that's perfect for you. And once you've found the right pair (or pairs), don't be afraid to experiment with different ways of styling them.
