HOW TO CREATE STYLISH OUTFITS WITH JEANS
Jeans are the bedrock of most casual, everyday outfits. It is surprisingly simple to create a very stylish day to day wardrobe by using the formula jeans plus ‘insert item.’ I’m sharing my advice for how to create stylish outfits with jeans, outlining styling tips and my favourite types of jeans that I have picked up over time.
The first thing I think is good to consider is what kinds of denim you are purchasing. My favorite jeans styles are the culotte and wide leg jean. I also generally prefer more straight leg denim (as pictured) over skinny jeans. I think the era of skinny jeans ended for me about five years ago and we need to collectively agree to let them go. I have shared this problem I have with jeans in Youtube and Instagram videos before, but I used to really dislike them. Over time, I have grown to appreciate jeans and have built up a decent collection over time.
For everyday outfits, I don’t think it’s possible to go wrong pairing your favorite jeans with a crisp t shirt. I personally love white t shirts and think they are the most versatile clothing item one can own. I would layer necklaces and other jewelry over the shirt just to add in textures and create visual interest. You can also do different variations of this formula by pairing your denim white a slogan tshirt or a bodysuit you love. (Image Credit: Bisous Natasha)
Jeans offer something of a blank canvas for you to experiment with your other pieces. One of my favorite trends right now is the statement sleeve trend, and the clean simplicity of denim allows you to go really crazy with whatever you put on top- the jeans will always balance the outfit out.
When shopping for jeans, it can be easy to fall into a cycle of just getting the foundational blue skinny jean over and over. But, I think experimenting with different colours and silhouettes can help you really narrow in on how to create stylish outfits with jeans. I love a wide leg jean, a culotte jean, (I’m not quite converted to the bootcut denim just yet), and a pair of white jeans. These ones here are from HM and are my fave pair of jeans I own right now- I wear them all the time.
I hope this was helpful and maybe gave you some ideas about how to style your jeans in different ways to create more stylish looks. Tag me on Instagram if you do implement any of these tips in your next outfits, I’d love to see!
