Leggings are back in style for this winter and for many women that is good news as leggings are comfortable, easy to care for and can be used to create a variety of styles. Denim leggings of course are very popular as denim never seems to go out of style. However, there are a few dos and don’ts to wearing denim leggings you might want to consider. Here are a few suggestions that may help you decide if leggings are the right fashion statement for you.

Don’t Wear Leggings If……

You should probably not wear leggings if you are too big or too small. Leggings are extremely tight fitting and not only will show every single bulge on your legs, hips and buttocks but they also make extremely thin legs look even thinner giving a tooth pick look to woman with skinny legs. While leggings can look great on medium size or shapely legs they can make someone with skinny or heavy legs look thinner or heavier.

Don’t Wear Short Shirts With Leggings

The unwritten rule for wearing leggings is that your buttocks should be covered by your shirt. Even if you have a great looking tush, it simply will not look good in just the leggings. If you want to show off your backside then try wearing a close fitting hip length tee with a wide belt. That will make a much classier statement. If you do want to wear a short shirt with leggings then add a mini skirt so that your backside has some covering.

Don’t Wear Dresses That Are Too Long With Leggings

Dresses can look great with denim leggings however the dresses should run about mid thigh. Never wear a dress that is mid knee or below the Knee with leggings as this goes beyond a layered look and simply looks sloppy. If you are looking for a great dress to wear with your denim leggings this winter choose a short sweater dress in your favorite color, this will look casual, sporty and classy all at the same time.

There are a variety of clothing that look good with your denim leggings. You can wear your leggings with long sweaters and tunics, big shirts, short dresses and skirts. Leggings look particularly good with any style dress, skirt or top that falls to just below the buttocks to mid thigh. As for shoes, leggings look great with all kinds of shoes with the exception of tennis shoes.

Skinny White Jeans, Delicious Summer Denim

Posted on 19. Mar, 2010 by denimgirl.

With summer just right around the corner, one of the hottest styles and colors this season is white! White jeans give a clean, classic look and go great with any kind of top. I am in love with these super sexy and super skinny white jeans shown here by Wesc Jeans. They really make the transition from spring to summer super easy too.

White jeans are also ultra classy in the sense you can dress them up or dress them down and most people won’t even call them ‘jeans’ so you can probably get away with wearing them even at the office on a nice casual Friday. Delicious denim skinny jeans also make the transition from day to night super easy- paired here with flip flops they are cute and simple, yet add some daring stiletto heels and a sexy tank top and you are ready to hit the town in style.

And guys, don’t despair- white mens skinny jeans are a do for you as well! Men can wear white these days just as women do and should follow the same rules as avoiding the color past labor day and avoid wearing white with white unless you add a splash of color else wear (shoes, hat, belt, jackets, etc.).  Mens white skinny jeans paired with a sexy dark blazer look amazing together and can also go from a day to night look very quickly.

Delicious Denim Tip: White jeans can get dirty very quickly so be sure to wash them as soon as you can when a stain happens so it won’t set in. Never use bleach on jeans as it wears the material very thin, but a light spray of a stain remover is fine.

To Wear Skinny Jeans or Not to Wear Skinny Jeans?

Posted on 10. Jan, 2009 by denimgirl.

One of those trends that just never really seem to go away is the “skinny jean”. Several brands carry this style of designer jean and they all vary between stretchy/non-stretchy, low ride and ultra-low ride, zippered, sleek, and more. Its up to you to figure out exactly which style you like best and what you are going to be comfortable in most.

Wondering if skinny jeans are for you? We say yes! It is a pretty common misconception for those with a full figure to stay away from skinny jeans. Skinny jeans can really make a larger figure look smaller, especially if they are a nice color and paired with some very cute high heels or sexy boots and a  lengthy top to balance out the top of the leg and hips.

We also suggest for a fuller thigh to stick with a darker wash to create a slimmer look. Many brands offer skinny jeans in very giving fabrics that have some stretch to them as well, so be sure to try on several types and brands.

Most body types can really look nice in a pair of skinny jeans. Petite frames, such as Nicole Ritchie in the photo above, can really lengthen their frames with these jeans and some nice high heels. Give them a try and don’t be afraid to give this style a chance, you might just fall in love.
