10 Ways to Wear Your Favorite JEANS

We all have our favorite jeans, whether they’re those lived-in flares you’ve had for years or oh-so-trendy bright skinnies. Check out these cute outfit ideas from both stylish girls seen on the street and celebs for some serious denim inspiration!

How to Wear Boyfriend Jeans

Whether you borrow them from his closet or they’re 100 percent your own, boyfriend jeans make for a cute weekend look when you use a wide elastic belt to ensure the jeans hit right at the waist (and stay up!). Then pair them with a fitted, sporty top to balance out the roomy denim cut and to play up your adorable tomboy style.

A Cool Way to Wear Straight-Leg Jeans With Heels

Roll a pair of classic straight-leg jeans up to the ankle for a chic style that works wonderfully for showing off a great pair of heels or to tone down what could otherwise be a super-preppy look (like this lovely lady did). The look works especially well with that pair of new shoes you bought, which are just begging to be seen.

.Leave it to casual-cool designer Stella McCartney to get the summer-to-fall transition thing down: She jazzed up basic vintage-wash skinny jeans by wrapping the fabric ties of her platforms over the jeans. Genius! Not only does it help those pesky straps stay up, but it’s also a fab way to keep warm-weather shoes alive long past summer’s end.

How to Wear Cropped Black Jeans

Cropped black jeans are ideal for occasions that are aren’t too dressy but still call for a little something special—casual Fridays at work, a girls’ night out, a potential run-in with an ex, etc. Check out how Jessica Alba dressed hers down with a comfy plaid shirt and pair of ballet flats—perfection!

How to Wear Skinny Jeans With Boots

There’s no better way to add a little drama to your favorite pair of jeggings, skinny jeans or straight-leg jeans than to zip a pair thigh-high boots over ‘em. Pair yours with a long cardigan and cuffed blouse for a daytime look that’s more “pretty woman” than Pretty Woman.

How to Wear Distressed-Wash Jeans

Glam up your casual, distressed denim with a sheer beaded or sequined tank, then add a military jacket when the temperature starts to drop. Girl-next-door style just got a whole lot sexier!

How to Wear Cuffed jeans

jeans get a new look when cuffed above—not tucked into— ankle boots. Black boots and a black jacket give your roughed-up skinnies a rocker look, but feel free to pair with browns and creams for a softer style.

How to Wear Colored Denim

Wear a summery chambray top with colored jeans for a double-denim look that’s not quite so…double-stuff denim. Low-key neutral accessories keep you from looking like a walking billboard for your fave denim brand.

How to Wear Cigarette-Leg Jeans

Do skinny jeans work with ankle-strap shoes? You bet! She-who-can-do-no-wardrobe-wrong Sarah Jessica Parker pairs her cigarette-leg jeans with ’70s platform sandals and a billowy, oversize blouse. The result: a casual yet still sexy date-outfit idea.
