Let's Talk Denim
If you scroll through my feed, you’ll see I’m wearing denim 90% of the time, if not more.
People ask me all the time, “don’t you like leggings more?”, “aren’t you more comfortable wearing leggings or sweatpants?” and my honest answer is no. Yes leggings and sweatpants are comfortable, but I genuinely enjoy putting together a cute outfit, and usually denim is a big part of that.
The key is finding the right pair. If I was walking around every day in stiff, hard jeans then I would definitely rather be wearing leggings! But I make sure to buy pairs that are soft, with good stretch and breathability. All of those aspects make them just as comfortable to me as leggings.
Try Them On
I know trying on clothes can be a drag. You know your size so you think you can just pick up your size at any store and check out. Unfortunately, stores don’t adhere to a universal size guide, so a 26 at one store could be a 28 at another. So take the time to try them on so you know you love the feel and the fit before you go home discouraged to find out they don’t fit how you’d hoped.
Invest In Classics
Everyone needs a couple go-to pairs. In my closet I have two pairs of skinny jeans, one light wash and one dark wash, and then I have a more cropped cigarette straight leg pair. Once you have those, you can put together any outfit! After that, have some fun!
Get Trendy
While I try not to get ~too~ trendy with my jeans because I know I won’t wear them in two years, sometimes its fun to get something that’s so different from anything else you have. Check out whats trending and get a pair that can elevate a classic look.
Denim Doesn't Just Mean Pants
Don’t forget about your denim jackets! That is one of my summer staples so make sure you grab one that you can throw on over a sun dress for a perfect summer night.
