Making the Shift: Skinny to Wide Leg?

Uniquely you ways on how we can get from the skinny jeans to wide-leg jeans and pants.  It can be a refreshing change in your style but let's be honest when you’re use to something it is hard to look in the mirror at a completely different style. Here are a few tips to help you take that leap today!

1. Pick Neutral Colors to start: Begin by choosing wide-leg jeans in neutral colors like black, white, or denim. Neutral tones are versatile and easier to incorporate into your existing wardrobe.  For example this amazing pair of lighter wash Judy Blue Wide Leg would be a perfect start! 

2. Try all the Fabrics:  Explore different fabrics such as denim, linen, or cotton. Lighter fabrics can give a breezy and relaxed feel, while denim adds structure.  Check out our Send it on Wide Leg Pants for a great relaxed pant choice.  

3. Pair with Fitted Tops:  Balance the volume of wide-leg jeans by pairing them with fitted tops. T-shirts, blouses, or knits that tuck neatly into the waistband will create a polished look.

4. Tuck in Your Shirt (half tuck or full):  Tucking in your top highlights your waist and adds definition to your silhouette. This is especially important when wearing wider bottoms.

5. Add a Belt:  A belt can help define your waist and add a unique element to your outfit. Choose one that complements the color of your jeans or adds a fun pop of interest.

6. Experiment with Lengths:  Wide-leg jeans come in various lengths, from ankle-length to floor-sweeping. Experiment with different lengths to find what suits your style best.  My personal pick is just above the ankle for jeans and top of the foot for dressier or linen. 

7. Footwear can Matter:  Choose footwear that complements the wide-leg silhouette. Heels or platform shoes can add height and balance the proportions, but sneakers or flats can also work for a more casual look.  Truly footwear will help decide on the chicness of your outfit.  I personally think a low sneaker or open back slide/mule are perfect choices.

8. Layer with a Jacket or Blazer:  Layering can add structure to your outfit. Try pairing wide-leg jeans with a well-fitted blazer or a stylish jacket for a polished look.

9. Don’t over Accessorize:  Consider accessories with earrings, a watch, or a stylish handbag to complete your look. These can add some personality and draw attention to your overall style.

10. Find Confidence in your look:  I'm all about you being you and embracing the change in silhouette!  You can rock the wide-leg jeans effortlessly and feel comfortable it.

11. Gradual Transition:  Don’t go throwing out all of your old skinny and boyfriend style pants.  Also, start with a slightly wider style and gradually move towards wider options. Like the looser jogger style Judy Blues and Hope High Rise Jeans.
