The Straight Jean

Everything has made a come back these
past few years: the boots, the pants, the
shirts, the accessories, etc. One
style that left me dumbfounded was
the straight jean. These jeans made their
appearance in the late 80’s but
haven’t made their comeback until this year.
Although the straight jean is difficult to pull
off it does have its good qualities.
Easily worn with almost any kind of shoes or tops,
the straight jean can completely alter your figure for the best
…and for the worst as well.

You have to keep in mind that if you’re going to wear the
straight jean your figure has to be somewhat slim. It’s not
that you couldn’t wear the straight jean but it just wouldn’t
do you justice. Like I said before…you don’t have to follow
every single new trend that comes up if it doesn’t suit your
figure!

To be able to wear the straight jean, you have to know how to
wear it first of all. Flat shoes don’t really work, therefore pick
something with a heel (no platforms please). The straight jean
also works well if you’re shorter because it elongates your legs.
Most straight jeans are also high rise so you have to be careful
at what top you choose to wear.

Straight jeans are usually meant to be worn with fancy tops and
fancy shoes. Therefore, this attire is not considered to be very
casual. Also, when purchasing the straight jean, make sure you
opt for a darker colour, as the light colour will not flatter most people.

Pair the straight jean with a longer top and possibly a belt over that top
(see picture). This attire will make you look slimmer and taller.
As you can see in the picture, heels must be worn with the straight jean.
