I was always a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. My approach to style and fashion is quite simple, but something about the plain duo makes it feel like a blank canvas to have fun with shoe and accessory options. The problem was, I could never find a pair of denim that fit me just right. However, the more aware I've become of my body, the more I realize how much rides on the cut of the jeans and your body type, and not what’s trending at the moment. Today I want to share how to make a simple tank and denim, the ultimate chic outfit.
As mentioned, with denim it always comes down to the cut and shape. It’s always important to choose a shape that compliments your body type. I have broader shoulders and narrow hips, so I like to go for high waist silhouettes that cinch at the waist creating an hourglass illusion and separating my top half from my bottom half. These days, I'm avoiding skinny jeans like the plague and opting for a wide or straight leg situation, to elongate the body. Trust me, you’ll be serving nothing but supermodel legs. The wider pant leg will also allow you to be more flexible with your shoe choice. Flats, sneakers or heels- it accommodates whichever vibe you’re going for.
A basic tank top can never go out of style, but to make it more current we’ll go for a shape that’s all over the fashion scene at the moment: The cut-out and in bodysuit form.
The waist detail on these jeans allow me to skip a belt, giving me the minimal vibe that we love, right? While pairing them with barely-there sandals (a true wardrobe staple) effortlessly elevating any look. A small bag and silver jewelry with slicked back hair for final touches. And while this is optional, draping an oversized blazer over your shoulders, for a night time look adds a certain je nais se quoi of pure sophistication!
It’s standard, straight to the point but with a subtly, sexy twist that's far from boring. That’s what styling is all about; taking something "basic" and embedding your identity into it. I hope you all enjoyed today’s little style play by play. Tell me...what's your go-to jeans and a tshirt vibes? Daring and dressy or cute and casual?Let me know!
