Updated Denim Styles

During a recent fitting session with a client, I introduced her to a variety of denim styles that would perfectly update her wardrobe. As she tried on different pairs, she curiously inquired, "So, are all denim styles currently in fashion?" The answer, however, is not quite that simple..

When it comes to denim styles you want to select styles that are going to look updated and fresh . You also want to make sure you are selecting styles that are flattering for your body shape.

Here are some things to consider when looking to update your denim jeans.

When it comes to selecting denim styles, try to steer clear of cropped variations as they can create the illusion of a shorter stature. Instead, opt for longer styles that elongate your legs, offering a more flattering look. To enhance this effect, consider pairing them with pointed-toe shoes or sandals, which further contribute to creating a lengthened silhouette.

When styling your jeans, avoid concealing your midsection with oversized tops; instead, accentuate your figure by tucking your shirt into your jeans and cinching it with a belt to highlight your waistline.

For the time being, set aside those cropped skinny jeans. Instead, opt for a more contemporary and modern look with wide-leg cropped jeans, which offer an updated silhouette.

For those with narrower hips, selecting a denim style that is more fitted in the hips and thighs, with a slight boot leg, is the way to go. Alternately, if you have a pear-shaped figure, opt for a looser fit to achieve a more balanced look. If you're petite, go for a regular cropped bootleg, as it will provide a lengthening effect on your frame.
