BOOTCUT
If the wideJeg and skinny dont interest you, then the boot-
cut will. This is your classic look. Audrey Hepburn made this
look dmeless. No matter your size or age, this jean will nwer
ever go out of style.'Women have been wearing them since the
1950s.
SUMMERJEANS
But with surilner on the way, you may want to try jeans in
a whole new way, whether it's wearing white jeans, or doing
awaywith the bottom half and opting for shorts or skins.
WHITEJEANS
{4rite is the must-have colour for spring/summer because
it's always fresh looking. HudsonJeans did a greatwhite denim
for spring-their wideJeg trouser. If a boot-cut sryle is what you
prefer, David Kahn also did them in white. You can dress them
up or dress them down. Always remember to wear nude-colour
panties when wearing white jeans.
Another important thing to remember when wearing white
jeans: the only time for white is spring and summer. Never ever
should you be wearing white denim in the winter-they will get
dirry and no one wants to walk around in dirry, salt-stained jeans.
fEANSHORTS
Making a major comeback for spring is the walking shon. Jean
shons can be uicky, because manytimes women dorit knowwhat
the appropriate length should be. Ifyou are going to wear a walking
shon, it should hit the top of your knee. The style of the short
should always be a straight cut.
Jean shorts are a summer staple in a womaris wardrobe. Pair
them with a simple tank top and a gladiator sandal and you are
MAY/IUNE O8
set for the day. As for homemade jean cut-offs, you have to be
very carefi,rl. They can either look chic or trashy. Do not cut them
so short that people can see your butt cheefts.
DENIMSKIRTS
Ifyou are going to slip on denim skins, they must be mrms-
long denim skirts look old and dated. The onlyshoes you should
bewearingwhen it comes to denim skira in the spring/summer
are: gladiator sardals, ballet flaa and wedge sandd. I dont think
a stilemo heel is appropriate with a denim miniskirt. Now, if you
really want to wear a heel, make sure the wash of your skirt
matches the tone of the stileto. For er<ample, if the wash ofyour
jean is dark, than the colour ofyour stilemo should be darker.
If the wash ofyour jean is light, than the colour ofyour stileto
should be lighter.
Thateverjeans you choose, they look their best when you pair
them with a crisp white blouse, blazer and a sory sdlemo. Most
imporandy, invest in a style that suia you. Dont allowyour sryle
to be dictated by trends.
