Foolproof Summer Jean Guide

Filed under: shopping, trends — ladolcevitainfo @ 9:19 pm

I’m sure many of you would agree that fashion has been all over the place as of late. With so many inspirational options to choose from, pinning down your summer look can be a daunting task. Saving you valuable time and trouble I’ve narrowed down the summer must have staple, the Jean, with just 4 basic styles: the Boyfriend, the Black Skinny, the Denim Cut-off shorts, and the White Slim-fit.

1. The Boyfriend Jean

First adorned by celebs like Katie Holmes, Vanessa Hudgens and Victoria Beckham sauntering around the LA streets, it seems as if the Boyfriend Jean is definitely here to stay. At first we were a bit hesitant to buy into this baggy fad, but given a second glance it garners a look that says, “I’m effortless and I look good in anything.” This jean can work on any woman going for that classic American appeal. The look is complete with a thin summer tee, cardigan, and gladiator heels.

2. Black Skinny

Of course it’s easy to throw on a dress, but the summer dress can never duplicate the result of a look that is clean, well thought out and pulled together. Wear this jean with cool shades, a silk top, cut out boots, and you’re ready to go!

3. Denim Cut-Off Short

Cut off shorts are back and better than ever. Work this look as a sexy alternative to your typical summer skirt. Again, the theme of the summer is effortless, cool, and chic. Pair these shorts with a heel to elongate the leg.

4. White Slim-Fit

Without a doubt, colored denim is one of the major trends of the season. But if you aren’t quite brave enough to veer into extreme hues like turquoise blue or a bright yellow, a slim fit white jean can create the same pop of color. For the adventurous, a shredded white jean, crop blazer, and hot aviators takes your look from day to night.
