3 Style Tips When Wearing One of Fall’s Hottest Denim Trends

As I said above, these are my absolute fave out of all my straight-leg jeans (and trust me, I have a lot) They are the perfect length and this medium wash can be worn all year round. The high waist makes them super flattering and the straight leg design allows for tons of different footwear options. I wear a size 24 in this versatile jean style and I find they fit true to size.

The first tip for how to style straight-leg jeans is to pair them with a jacket that hits you at the waist to create balance in your look. A high waist can be incredibly flattering and when you pair it with a jacket that accentuates that waistline it increases tenfold! This stunning leopard print jacket from Ganni has a cropped waist and oversized sleeves, creating tons of visual interest up top to balance out the expanse of denim below. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

If the jacket above is a bit out of budget, no worries, I’ve got you covered! This leopard print denim jacket is unbelievably cool, very on trend, and has a price point under $100! It boasts the same cropped hemline as the jacket above but is a bit more fitted with less voluminous sleeves. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

Both of these tips are working to get the same result, which is defining your waistline! Tucking in your shirt helps define the proportions of your outfit and creates balance. The belt draws attention to your now-defined waist and creates a division between the top and bottom portions. I love this stylish skinny belt from Lovestrenght for so many reasons. It’s made with genuine leather so the quality is top-notch, but it boasts a very reasonable price point under $100. It also has gold hardware which is not only trendy but also very easy to style since metallics are considered neutral.

Style tip No.3 for how to style straight-leg jeans is to pair them with a pointy-toed shoe to make your legs look miles long. I chose a pointed-toe mule from Steve Madden, but a pointed bootie would work as well. These mules are SO good and they have an amazing price point under $100. They actually remind me of this Saint Laurent pair but for a fraction of the price!
