Jeans wear has come a long way. It was initially designed as workwear for miners and laborers before it evolved into mainstream fashion as we see it today.

Whether you are aiming for a casual or smart casual or seeking to make a bold fashion statement with your looks, jeans can be your go-to piece of clothing anytime.

Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are a versatile go-to option. They can effortlessly transition from casual to chic.

Skinny jeans can be styled with a statement jacket, a long cardigan for a laid-back look, or a blouse in a French tuck.

Flared Jeans

The playful flare from the knee down adds a touch of retro charm to any outfit. They remain a statement piece that can take your look from 1 to a significant 10.

It’s a great pair of jeans to elongate your legs. Flared jeans should be paired with fitted tops or blouses.

Blouses should be tucked in fully to emphasize your waist.

You can try on a cropped top and layer an oversized blazer over it to give off a bright, casual look.

Mom Jeans

It’s a plus-size woman’s favorite as it defines the waist and has tapered legs that highlight the length of the legs.

A bright blazer and a waist-length cardigan work very well with mom jeans. You could also stick with an excellent white blouse or button-down T-shirt.

Mom jeans bring with them comfort, style, and an effortless cool.

With a Blazer

A blazer is a fashion item that has stood the test of time. It can elevate any pair of pants, and when paired with jeans, you’ll have an office-appropriate outfit that works for off-hours, too.

Whether structured or oversized, a blazer effortlessly adds polish and sophistication. It is the perfect finishing touch.

With More Denim

Throwing on more denim on denim is an invitation to break free from the traditional fits you have been accustomed to.

There is no need for the pieces to match perfectly, in fact your outfit tends to look better when they don’t. This celebrates the beauty of non-conformity.
