A Fashionista’s Guide to Wearing Jeans

Jeans are the most basic and classic clothing item in every girl’s closet. Every girl has at least one or two pairs of jeans that they wear when they are attending a less formal event. The reason jeans have proved to be so much more popular than any other clothing item is the fact that they are comfortable and go well with almost any type of shirt, pair of shoes, or accessories.

Yet, as basic as this clothing item may seem, there are a few golden rules on how to wear them with style. Here are 4 tips for wearing jeans every fashionista should know.

Understand your silhouette

First thing first, before you go to the mall to purchase a new pair of jeans, you need to get a good idea of what your silhouette looks like. It’s all about how much natural shape of your body you want to highlight when you are wearing denim. If you don’t want to “show” too much from your silhouette, you can choose a pair of jeans that is slim but also not too clingy. However, you also need to pay attention to not choose a pair that will look too loose on your body because that will only hide your natural silhouette completely.

Choose the fabric wisely

One vital thing about wearing jeans with style lays in choosing the fabric wisely. If you are the slimmest, cellulite-free model, then thinner denim can work great on your body. However, if there are a few natural body shapes that you wouldn’t like to highlight, your safest bet is thicker and stiffer denim.

Should you roll the cuffs or not?

There is a huge debate in the fashion world whether rolling cuffs at your jeans is ok or not in terms of style. So, is it acceptable to do it or not? Wearing rolled cuffs was actually a fresh trend one or two years ago and it seems that it is still used by many fashionistas. It has been criticized by many, but many fashion experts believe that it is acceptable to do it as long as it is suitable for the event that you are going to attend.

For example, if you are going on a walk in the park with your friends and the weather outside is pretty hot, there is nothing wrong with wearing a pair of jeans with rolled cuffs. However, if you are going to attend an event at a sit-down restaurant or anywhere more formal, you may want to roll them back down.

How to match your jeans with shirts?

Jeans go with almost any shirt that you have in your closet because they are a very basic clothing item. In fact, denim is so popular mostly for this aspect because people can combine this piece of clothing with any blouse they want and get a completely new look and style. However, matching a pair of jeans with a shirt correctly once again must depend on the event that you are going to attend. It is ok to get a pair of jeans and a t-shirt at a relaxed family gathering, but choose a long-sleeve shirt if you are attending a formal or professional meeting and are looking for a business casual look.

Wearing jeans with style requires you to pay a little bit of attention at your body shape, the fabric you choose, and how to wear them wisely according to the event you are going to attend.
