Denim Trend - The Boyfriend Jean

Radiate classic casualness with this great style of denim! The Boyfriend Jean! Can’t hack it in those skinny jeans for a full 12 hour day? Jump into a pair of these with a distressed wash and guaranteed you’ll scratch off all those things on your todo list!

This look juxtaposes the skinny jeans and loose flowing tops, which means since they have a loose fit; a fitted top goes perfect with them, be it a tank or tee! My favorite shoes to go with a pair are cute flats. Try some girly strappy sandals or trendy oxford style shoes.

There are cropped to full lengths but either way don’t forget to roll them up once or twice to get the look!

How to Wear a Long Vest

A vest is a perfect way to spice up any outfit and create a stylish look that’s effortless and classic. There’s some great oversized vests that can be paired with a flirty dress, a great pair of skinny jeans or even casual khaki cargo shorts.

Whatever the occasion you’re dressing for a vest is the best opportunity to play mix and match with sporty vs. feminine and business vs. party. Take a look at my tips to make the vest trend work for you.

Get vested in a great look with a menswear inspired piece or a romantic draped style and Im willing to bet they’ll balance your ensemble and make a lasting impression.

Pair one with a Dress: Throw this draped beauty over a textured dress with tuff gladiator sandals and thick western style belt. The accessories offset the feminine vest and dress.
Pair one with skinny jeans: This oversized menswear vest will look great unbuttoned over a casual white tank or tee.
Pair one with shorts: For a rugged girlish look pair a denim vest with a mid-length short over a tank. The fitted seams in this vest will flatter your curves. Distressed boots and bag give it a boyish appeal and look fab.
