HOW TO WEAR JEANS

Ah! Gotta Love JEANS!


What’s that feel good look that works? Jeans!

Here are a few throw on and go ideas. 


1. The every day Jeans

Celebrities love it, models love it, and yes my dears you can do it too…




 Here is your basic white tee and dark fitted jeans.  Throw in some accessories - sunglasses, funky ring, sandals, drop earrings, bold bangle - and you are off in fashion.


 2.  The Work Jeans



Another look anyone can pull off is the work jeans look.  Take your everyday jeans look (above) and add a jacket.  Change up a few accessories - wearing some cool nobs instead of long earrings, some work appropriate shoes, cluster bangles - and you are ready for "casual day" at the office, for those of us who don't get to be casual everyday... 

3.  The Classic "Night Out" Jeans

Trade your white tee for a sexy (but flattering) top.  Chandelier earrings, a cocktail ring and I'm always a fan of charm bracelets, add some funky shoes and you are ready to go.  

For this look I've chosen accessories that are a little more formal which works well for the evening.

4.   The "Boy Friend" Jeans



I am not a fan of the really over-sized boyfriend jeans look.  Here I swapped out the fitted jeans from the "work jeans" look with the boyfriend jeans and whalla!

I know, many of you are probably thinking this look wouldn't suit you, but try it.  The key is to find nice comfortable jeans that fit, cuff them neatly and you are instantly a fashionista! LOL. But seriously, the principles are the same and these are just some basic tips that you can play with.

See this look on Rachel Bilson:

She has kept the look simple with minimal accessories - belt, sun glasses- while still making a statement with a red bag and clogs, I'm not a fan of clogs personally, but to each his own, still a hot look :)

What you have to be careful about in doing the "boyfriend" jeans look, is not looking overly masculine.  I like to throw in a really girly piece in the mix.

Here is Halle Berry doing her version of the boyfriend jeans.  She is doing the really over-sized look, but notice how she opted for a girly, gold cropped jacket which takes the look right back to looking cute and feminine and not go over the edge of looking sloppy.

And here is Eva Longoria doing the everyday boyfriend jeans, the additional of the hat gives it a bolder look...

In all the pairings you would have noticed that I stuck to a neutral pallet - blues, black, metallic, white - which is a good place to start.  It won't compromise you having a clean put together look and you don't have the stress of dealing with crazy patterns.  What I did as well, was place colour in one item at a time - the bag.

A punch of colour here and there is all you need.  The style of the bag and the other accessories are to your picking, just keep looking around to cement you own personal style, your 'Model Image'.


Keep it Trendy! 
Bye for now!
