3 Tips for Mastering Crop Jeans
Denim is such a versatile piece of clothing and a staple in most women's closets that we often underestimate its importance. A good-fitting pair of jeans can make or break a mood, a day, or an outfit. On trend, we've been seeing boyfriend, cropped jeans, and skinny jeans (all of which I completely support!) but one trend that is standing out this season are cropped jeans.
THE CROPPED JEAN TREND
Cropped jeans are a trend that is catching on this season. It's no wonder that we're starting to see new jean trends being that the skinny jean has been so popular. Usually when a certain jean trend has been going strong for a few years, we begin to see them wean away and we start to see new styles emerge. But with this great cropped jean trend comes the style challenge of how to best put them together to create a cohesive outfit.
TIPS FOR STYLING THE CROPPED JEANS
Here are 3 of my favorite tips for how to wear cropped jeans the next time you're trying to throw together a great outfit.
- Master Height | Wear with heals or shoes with a lift. It elongates the leg. Try to avoid flats, as you'll look somewhat "stumpy".
- Check the Cut | Make sure the cropped point of the jean hits at the point that your leg begins to narrow, thus helping to slenderize your legs!
- Find the fit | try on more than one pair because all jeans are cut slightly different and each pair will fit differently then the last. Also, you can lower & raise the cuff to create a longer, leaner look!
