Denim is the one item that is found in everyone's closet. Not only is denim a seasonless material, but it's also versatile and easy to work into a wardrobe to provide endless styling options. Dress it up or dress it down - nothing looks better than a fabulous pair of jeans that you love to wear. This season, all you really need is a fabulous pair of jeans and a few extra tops. Here are some great deals on current denim trends.
Bootcut jeans are the most universally flattering option because they gently hug the hips and thighs while flaring out just below the knee - this creates a look that is balanced. As for the rise, that choice is up to you but it's generally a smarter idea to go with a mid-rise for more coverage. A few great deals on bootcut denim include Levi's 526 Charlotte Bootcut Jeans (which are now just $19.99 at Kohl's) and Mossimo Black Boot-Cut Jeans (which are now just 65% off at Target). Both pairs of jeans are perfect for casual spring weekends - just throw on a ribbed tank or tee and step into some platform sandals.
Contrary to popular belief, most women can wear skinny jeans - as long as she finds the right pair for her figure. Also, remember to keep your look modern but not too trendy. Instead of pairing skinny jeans with tight tops, wear yours with layered tees, billowy blouses and light tunics. Here are a few deals of skinny jeans you might like: the Ashley Ultra Skinny Jeans are now 50% off at Aeropostale and the Skinny Ankle Zipper Jeans are now $44.51 off at the Gap.
Straight leg jeans are a classic that should never be overlooked. Unlike the bootcut and skinny styles, straight leg jeans feature a classic straight-leg opening. This is a style that isn't too trendy but isn't outdated either - it goes with nearly every look in your closet. Looking for the perfect pair of straight-leg denim? The Converse One Star Classic Straight Leg Denim Jeans are 50% off at Target and the Canyon River Blues Modern Straight Leg Jeans are also 50% off at Sears, both of which feature a comfortable mid-rise fit and a classic look.
