I know that a lot of you are hesitant to try wide leg denim, and I understand why;  It can be quite daunting if you don’t know how to style them.  Here are a three tips that will help you out without stressing you out!

1. Find a flattering cut for you. My personal favorite wide leg style is the 7 For All Mankind Ginger Jean because it’s a great mix between fitted and wide leg without being a bell bottom or flare.

2. Pair with a feminine blouse. I love wearing tees and boyfriend jeans as much as you do, but the wide leg is more of a polished look… and you can pull it off.  I love wearing silk with my jeans because of the  contrast between the ultimate working man’s fabric and something inherently feminine.  Try something like the Milly Cynthia Begonia-Print Blouse for a look that is work-friendly and fashion-forward.

3. Grab your heels! When I’m afraid that my clothing is overpowering me (which, by the way, it should neverdo), I make sure to throw on a pair of heels.  Sound contradictory?  Not really.  A good pair of heels like these Stuart Weitzman Frontpage Purple Suede Pumps will put a little extra pep in your step.

With all of these additions (as well as a kickass handbag), you’re ready to go!  Just remember: you wear the look, not the other way around!
