DENIM RULES: WHAT YOUR JEANS SAYS ABOUT YOU
Think your denim utters nary a word about
you? We beg to differ.
Take bell bottom jeans, for example. These
pants, with their iconic bell-shaped hems, were introduced innocently
enough—sailors in the U.S. Navy first wore them in the 19th century. By the
late 1960s, however, these exaggerated flares had been adapted by
fashion-forward teenagers, not only as adolescent garb, but also to show a
generation’s counterculture sensibilities. Even today bell bottoms speak so
symbolically that they've become a key emblem of the 1970s, as much as a
tie-dye headband.
Sporting bell bottoms in modern times isn’t
out of date, but simply retro-chic, depending on your overall sense of style.
Luckily, you've got plenty of other denim options—from skinny jeans to colored
jeans—that speak volumes, too.
So what are the new fashion rules for
wearing denim? Just one: DENIM RULES!
Jeans, in all their body-contouring
comfort, can be worn everywhere—from the office to after-work parties. Whether
you want to live in denim at work or play, the key is adapting jean-altering
trends to suit your own style.
What do your jeans say about you? From
revealing classical leanings to trend-spotting clues, we’ll tell you how your
jeans are spilling the beans. But first, we’ll look at the different types of
jeans out there.
SKINNY JEANS
Strutting your stuff in skinny jeans means
one thing: You enjoy showing off your body. Skinny jeans say, “I want to
attract attention,” and they do. Caution: Skinny jeans are for slender and fit
bodies only. Wear a long top either tucked in or worn on the outside to avoid a
“whale’s tail” fashion disaster (a.k.a your underwear showing)
BOOT-CUT JEANS
BOOT-CUT JEANS
Boot-cut jeans are just a step above “mom
jeans”. In other words, they make for a flattering look, but they’re not
exactly trendsetting. Boot-cuts say you’re not willing to push the envelope,
but you’re also not willing to be completely left behind. How to make them
cool? Wear them with a more modern shoe and funky accessories to liven up the
look.
JEGGINGS
JEGGINGS
As in, jean-leggings. These super-slim
pants are often manifestations of personality traits like being ultra-trendy
and having a youthful flair. But, keep in mind that they are best worn by slim
guys and gals. Jeggings are very useful since they have a “tights” effect. They
are great with voluminous, long and multi-layered tops.
The bell-bottom wearing woman is one who
appreciates the “vintage” look. But they work mostly for people who have some
height to their frames. Word to the wise: Bell-bottoms paired with a fitted top
will draw attention to the waistline.
Why live on just blue alone? A colored jean
suggests whimsy and fun with a bit of “I’m not afraid to experiment” mixed in.
Just avoid going monochrome—yellow over yellow, for instance, is a fashion
disaster waiting to happen. How to wear it: Since the colored denim will take
center stage, pair it on top with neutrals and clean lines.
Finding that elusive, yet perfect jean for
your body type and personality can take a lot of time. Luckily, SM Supermalls
