In the 60s, skinny jeans might have enjoyed their golden age, but how can we forget the dynamic nature of the fashion trends? It is that time of the fashion year when folks prefer finding the perfect jeans for their body type without compromising comfort. Does that mean baggy jeans? Well, fortunately, no. This year, comfort is paramount without compromising on style.
Does the return of retro-flared jeans ring a bell? If yes, then we are not exactly talking about that either, but something that resonates significantly with it. Drumrolls, as women’s bootcut jeans are trending this year. They are well known for providing petite figures and models with a slimmer and taller leg illusion. But styling these jeans outfits can be a daunting task. Here’s a list of loads of styling tricks and tips to make your simple outfit an extravaganza.
1. As Formal As It Gets
Remember the formal dresses the character Rachel Green wore in the sitcom ‘Friends.’ She was an absolute inspiration to all things fashion. Many don’t know that Rachel, aka Jennifer Aniston, is also a fashion inspiration offscreen. She made the tricky part of styling look easy, peasy, and lemon-squeezy. As exhibited, you can see how she paired white-washed jeans with a plain white shirt, Gucci statement belt, shades, and blazer over the arms. Our verdict—we love this too-minimalist and too-formal attire of Aniston.
2. Chunky Hardware
Bella Hadid and her sibling Gigi are known for their street-style looks. We always advise pairing these jeans with cropped tops if you embrace a petite figure. Cropped tops help create the illusion of elongated legs, thus allowing you to look taller. While your elongated legs become worth every stare, ensure the gazing does not lose out on your top. With such chunky hardware cropped tops, you can rest assured that nobody’s losing interest in your fashion sense anytime soon.
3. As Colorful as Rainbow
How can we forget that retro style is one of the biggest fashion trends for 2024? This multi-color turtleneck crop tee paired with high-waist grayish-black jeans is nothing short of checking comfort without sacrificing chicness. Brown canvas shoes just add a more casual element to the entire look. We suggest you carry this look for those days when being too casual is not a problem anymore.
4. Never too Baggy
It is never too late to add bagginess to your wardrobe. As we just said, styling these jeans can be a task. On top of that, styling baggy clothing on women’s bootcut jeans is another daunting task to ponder. Well, we know just the trick to help you ace the look of a pullover sweater with these jeans. To add structure to your outfit, you need to know not to style baggy clothes loose; instead, tuck them in in the most natural way. Accessorize the entire look with accessories that blend well with your outfit of the day, aka ootd.
5. Y2K Costume Dress
Y2K fashion embodies a nostalgic tribute to the millennium’s dawn, blending futuristic and retro styles. If you are curious to follow the footprints of the Y2K trend, this look is for you. It is minimal, so in trend, you will almost emit influencer vibes. Basic Y2K rules you need to keep in check are low-rise jeans, a truck driver hat, chunky shoes, and bold colors and patterns. Simply follow them, and tada! You have a look that folks aspire to wear.
6. As Tone As Possible
Opting for a monochromatic theme is always simpler and cleaner. It follows the saying, ‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.’ Accessorizing such a theme is also not a task; you just have to ensure the key here is to keep things as minimal as possible. This blue-on-blue outfit looks so cool when paired with shades, stilettos, a baguette bag, and minimalist jewelry pieces.
7. Split Hem
As the name suggests, a bootcut jean is tailored to go over a boot. A split hem bootcut is a stylish choice to showcase your shoes, snug around the calves, and flare out at the ankle. The slit detail adds visual interest and highlights your footwear elegantly. Split hem jeans, when paired with a leather bodycon crop top, look so glammed up that you are almost ready to rock and roll on the dance floor.
8. Crop it a Little
Beware to all the petites out there, as cropped jeans might not give an elongated illusion. Instead, they will make you look shorter. Despite this, if you love to be in the loop with the latest fashion trends, you might try this. But for the rest, adding cropped women’s bootcut jeans to your wardrobe is a great idea. Plus, the cropped part of the jeans will enable a crystal-clear view of your most expensive shoes for those who adore them.
9. Messed Up
Messing up with clothing and textures elaborates the rawness of any look. The raw hem gives the low waist, light-washed jeans a way cooler look. As with any fashion statement, the balancing act is another crucial part. Hence, a white casual wrinkleless shirt can be perfect for pairing with it. It is a look that can be carried to the office or on casual cafe visiting days. Nonetheless, it is worth recreating, so stop contemplating and grab this styling tip immediately!
10. As Classy As It Gets
