How To Wear The Straight-Leg Jean

When it comes to finding the perfect fitting jean, it’s a tough one. A really tough one! Am I right? I can’t even tell you the amount of times I have bought jeans only to get home or have them for a few months and realise I HATE them. They are either too long (short gal probs!), too tight, too low rise…the list can go on as to why I hate more than 5 pairs of jeans I have in my wardrobe.

The straight leg cut is the jean of the season and there’s a damn good reason why! This style is sitting pretty in the jean throne because of it’s versatility. I love to style them up with a cute pair of heels & a blazer or a heeled boot, but also love to throw on a white sneaks/sandals and a cute tee.

I opted for a style that really lengthened my legs,a mid-waist (you can go high too baby!), & a close fit around my bottom and thighs which I find super flattering.

My top tips for buying denim:

1. Go mid to high-waist. Why did anyone ever wear low rise jeans? That’s all I have to say on that one.
2. Be open minded and sleep on it. I have definitely made the mistake when I have tried jeans on once in the shop, thought I loved them to only get them home and HATE them.
3. Look for a good stretch and keep to good quality denim.
4. Don’t buy jeans that are too tight. Are you jumping around for 30 mins and have to seriously SUCK IN to get the buttons done up….don’t do that to yourself. Buy a jean with a good memory (the denim snaps back after a wash/wear basically). Make sure they are firm on your body.
