How to Wear White Jeans Like a Pro

When we wrote our fall 2011 denim guide back in August, we got a ton of questions asking for ideas on how to rock über trendy, yet tricky to wear white jeans during the colder months. Now that the temperature has dropped and it’s officially autumn, we’re here to help.

Scroll on down to read our tips and tricks for wearing white jeans in fall and winter, then check out some stylish and fall appropriate outfit ideas. Before you know it, you’ll be wearing white jeans like a pro!

4 Tips for Rocking White Jeans:

  • Fit matters. When you’re searching for that perfect pair of white jeans, be sure to find a pair that really fits you well don’t buy anything too tight or too loose! If you’re having trouble finding denim that fits just right, a trip to a tailor is well worth the extra cash for a killer pair of jeans.
  • Go seamless. Choosing the right type of undergarments is an important aspect of rocking white jeans this definitely isn’t the time to wear your favorite pair of hot pink bikini-style undies! Instead, look for seamless styles (we like Victoria Secret’s line) in colors that match your skintone for a VPL-free look.
  • Take care. To maintain that gorgeous, stark-white shade, always remember to carefully follow the manufacturer’s care label before you wash these jeans. Usually, this involves washing the jeans either separately or with other white clothing and drying on a low-heat setting. And, if you’re prone to impromptu spills, don’t underestimate the power of a Tide to Go Pen.
  • Be confident! Since white pants are a little trickier to wear then your average pair of jeans, having confidence is key. If you’re still hesitant about wearing these jeans, at least try on a pair the next time you’re out shopping you might be pleasantly surprised. And remember, as long as you are comfortable and feel good in your white jeans, that’s all that matters.

How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe

Dieing to look a little sexier this season? There are several fun ways to add a little spice to your wardrobe without looking like a slut – I promise.

Forget the up-to-there minis or see-through outfits that leave little to the imagination; in order to jazz up your existing wardrobe, there are a few key pieces every woman should own.

Lacy Camisole

A flirty, fun camisole like this one will look very sexy peeking out of a blazer or sweater. Best of all, you won’t look like you’re trying to pick up guys on the corner! I own several of these versatile tanks, and they work well under a suit jacket for work (modest, but fashionable) or for a night on the town.

Peep Toe Shoes

These gorgeous peep-toe heels are both work appropriate and great for a late-night party. There’s something so sexy about peep-toe heels; that little flash of skin makes for a scintillating look that doesn’t look slutty at all.

Chandelier Earrings

Chandelier earrings add just the right touch of spice to any outfit. I don’t know why, but there’s something very alluring about chandelier earrings; I’ve always managed to garner compliments when I wear them, and they add a certain “sexy” touch to whatever you’re wearing.

Skirts

Skirts in general are hot, but you don’t have to don a micro-mini to get a sultry look. As a matter of fact, almost any skirt looks sexy when paired with a dressy blouse and kitten heels or flats. This satin chiffon number will spice up your wardrobe in no time at all; the breezy fabric feels good against your skin and looks even better on.

With just a few simple touches, you can add spice to your wardrobe; look sexy and sophisticated, and still be office-appropriate!

How to Choose the Perfect Belt

Written on November 8, 2011 at 11:09 pm, by

Belts are an often overlooked fashion accessory. The wrong belt can honestly make an otherwise perfect outfit look completely out of place, whereas the right belt can make you look polished and picture perfect.

Learn how to choose the perfect belt for you based on a variety of factors, including your body type and what style of belt suits you best.

Belts are multi-purpose; not only do they serve to tighten otherwise loose pants, they can serve as a great fashion accessory as well. The key in choosing the right belt is based on your body frame, among other factors.

For example, wide belts (belts that are made to be worn higher than usual) can look great on a woman with curves, provide it’s worn correctly. Thinner women should actually opt for slim belts; a larger belt can look out of place on a thin woman.

Honestly, there’s no die-hard rule for choosing a belt. Figure out what looks good on you and go from there. Try on a wide variety of different styles, patterns and lengths (it’ll also help to know your waist size!), and figure out which looks the most flattering. Belts can be a very key accessory when worn correctly, and the wide variety of decorative belts can add a sense of style to nearly any outfit.
