Build Your Basics: Jeans

My “Must-Have” Styles

1. Dark Wash Skinny Jean

A dark wash skinny jean is a classic, in my book! Even if skinny jeans aren’t “in” right now. They’re the most versatile template – easily dressed up, dressed down, or anywhere in between! 

My Favorite:

AG Farrah High Waist Skinny Jean (in Blue Basin)

 

Other Options:

 

2. Mid-Wash Skinny Jean

It took some a little while to get used to a mid-wash, but now that I’ve worn it for quite awhile, I really love it! I think it lends itself to lighter color palettes and gives a fresh look to any outfit. 

My Favorite:

Everlane The Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny (in Vintage Blue)

 

Other Options:

3. Relaxed/”Mom Jean” Style

Besides the fact that these are so on trend right now, they’re very comfortable and add that effortless “cool” factor to any outfit. They’re super easy to pair with a tee and sneakers, but I love the juxtaposition of casual jeans with a pretty blouse and heels! 

My Favorite:

Madewell Perfect Vintage (I have these in multiple colors and love them all!)

 

Other Options:

4. Black Jeans

Another universally-flattering option, black jeans are a must-have in every woman’s closet! They go with everything and are a great option for dressed up denim that isn’t blue. 

My Favorite:

Madewell Roadtripper Skinny Jeans (in Bennet Wash)
