No wardrobe could ever be complete without several pairs of jeans. An important part of both fashion and American culture, jeans are truly the everything pant. Dress them up, dress them down - a good pair of jeans will never go out of style. Let's take a closer look at some of this season's best pairs of jeans (on sale of course!) and I'll give you a few extra ideas on how to wear them.
Colored Jeans - The Genetic Denim Red Stretch Cigarette Jeans are now 40% off at Bluefly. Regular blue denim is stylish, but colored denim is definitely more fun to wear. Try these fabulous jeans with several layered tees or perhaps a camisole with a fitted vest. These fabulous designer jeans were marked down from $176.00 to just $106.00. You’ll love everything about this pair, including the low-rise fit, faux-front pockets and the dual patch pockets (embroidered with the Genetic logo) in the back. Bonus Fashion Idea: Don't be afraid to try colored denim, especially if the color is universally flattering, like red. To complete and balance your look, pair these jeans with a black embellished blouse like this Style and Co. Embellished V-neck Top from Macy's (originally $46.00, now $32.00). Add a small hobo bag and basic flats like the American Eagle Eva Ruffle Flats from Payless (originally $22.99, now $12.99).
Bootcut Jeans - The slightly flared look of bootcut jeans are one of the most flattering denim looks out there, especially in darker washes. The Elle Bootcut Jeans are now on sale at Kohl’s: originally priced at $44.00, the low-riding jeans are now $26.99, saving you $17.01! With stylish detailing such as back-flap pockets and a two-button front closure, these jeans are both fun and trendy. Even better, the Elle Bootcut Jeans are also quite versatile - dress them up for a night out, or dress them down for weekend casual. Bonus Fashion Idea: It's easy to turn your day look into night with denim. Just change your top and shoe, then add some jewelry! Try a sexy top like this Studio M Cap Sleeve Silk Tunic from Macy's (originally $89.00, now $44.99) and fabulous strappy sandals like the Helom Evening Sandals from Aldo (originally $80.00, now $39.98).
Black Rinse Jeans - Like the Elle Bootcut Jeans above, the Black Flare Jeans from Calvin Klein Jeans are a fabulous and flattering find at a terrific price. Regularly priced at $49.50, these jeans are now $24.99, saving you 49% off! This pair comes in black rinse wash, making them easier to wear in a semi-casual office environment that allows jeans. Try wearing these jeans with a pretty floral top or a colorful blouse, then add a smart solid blazer to complete the look. Bonus Fashion Idea: Stay warm and stylish this season by wearing your jeans with winter's key pieces like long sleeved v-neck cardigans and ruffled button-down shirts. Other wonderful options include this Sleeveless Chunky Cowlneck Sweater from Calvin Klein (originally $98.00, now $49.00) and the Asymmetric Zip Shirt from Anne Klein (originally $69.00, now $35.00). Don't forget to add a great pair of ankle boots!
Casual Jeans - Here’s a deal on a great pair of weekend jeans: the Rich & Skinny Slouchy Stretch Boyfriend Jeans are now 50% off at Nordstrom! Featuring a skinny fit with a relaxed look, this is one pair that is so easy to wear. The jeans are a bit slouchy on top, with a skinnier fit at the legs. You can keep the look tomboy-chic with a fitted ribbed tank and a loose vest, or you can balance out the look with a light tunic. Either way, you’ll love these jeans! They’re just $91.90, marked down from $185.00. Bonus Fashion Idea: To keep your weekend denim from looking anything like ordinary, it's important to accessorize well. Try some fun pumps like the Chinese Laundry Milky Peep-toe Mary Janes from Heels.com (originally $69.99, now $35.00), and a few pieces of pretty jewelry. Right now, Express has a great sale on jewelry: buy one and get one 50% off!
Vintage Style Jeans - If you’re looking for something relaxed that’s more classic vintage than trendy, then you’ll love Axcess Relaxed Fit Jeans at Kohl’s (originally $49.00 and now just $19.99). In Nile blue wash, these jeans feature everything from distressed details, whisker wash and five pockets. You’ll also love the relaxed low-rise and straight-leg fit. You won’t find a more perfect pair of jeans for the weekend! Bonus Fashion Idea: Before you buy a pair of jeans in a store, make sure that you've got a good pair of pumps or sandals. When trying on the jeans that you plan on wearing with your good shoes, make sure that the hem meets at the tip of your toe. Anything shorter won't look so good with heels. Need another great pair of shoes to wear with jeans? Try the Report Brisa Sandals from Heels.com (originally $79.99, now $40.00).
