I took some time off last Friday to spend the afternoon with my Mum and Dad in the country. It was my Mum’s birthday. I bought her a pair of white boyfriend jeans and after we’d been to lunch we went home and played around with some ways she could wear them.
She didn’t have any white bottoms in her wardrobe so they added something fresh and different and gave her quite a few new outfits. This was one of the combos we put together.
(While she will wear the jeans cuffed they’re a little bit long and need taking up – but you get the gist)
For anyone wondering whether they are too old to wear…
1. A leather jacket
2. White jeans
3. Boyfriend jeans
4. Sneakers
Updating your look doesn’t always mean having to buy new clothes.
It might be, particularly if you’re on a tight budget, that new clothes are not a priority at the moment. It could even be that you have plenty of clothes already, but you need some fresh ideas.
Clothes can be altered, dyed, reinvented or simply worn differently.
One thing to try is cuffing your jeans.
Play around and try different ways of cuffing to determine what works best for your leg length, shape and style.
Try rolling them neatly. (You might even want to press them like these ladies below)
Or just turning them up to expose your ankles.
Don’troll your jeans too high that they become three quarter length…which we all know is a length that is not flattering for most.
