This time final yr, I used to be making an attempt actually onerous to ditch the thin denims pattern. I nonetheless assume it is one of the best silhouette and most flattering model within the denim world, however I additionally need to be open to new tendencies. Since skinny denims have been controversial for some time now, I have been looking for wide-leg denims that match me and my physique sort. I discover two issues are most vital: a excessive waist and the fitting size. I both want a shoe that sits simply above or simply above the ankle, or a shoe with no heel. If I need to put on heels like pants, they have to be lengthy sufficient to elongate my legs with out feeling “minimize” by the heels. If I need a extra informal look, I have to deliberately select shorter, wider pants that simply hit the ankle, excellent for sneakers and sandals.

I’ve additionally seen that in the entire journey of carrying wide-leg denims, many manufacturers are ditching high-waisted and thin denims. I’ve to have each – lengthy legs and a excessive waist. I am tall and my legs are lengthy, however as a result of my weight tends to be centered round my center, I have to create a stability between my higher and decrease physique as a result of I am unable to depend on the standard skinny denims silhouette. Typically occasions, with physique varieties like mine (apple formed), we find yourself carrying a pair of huge leg denims that look rectangular relatively than hourglass formed. I would relatively lean in the direction of a curved look relatively than a straight rectangle. A excessive waist helps this and, if attainable, creates an extended decrease physique. Everybody’s denims technique will likely be completely different, however I’ve discovered these two to be my greatest options when searching for wide-leg denims or non-skinny denims.

I additionally kick myself for not exhibiting the denims in several outfits. I made a decision to {photograph} the identical footwear/tops so you could possibly see the numerous variations between every pair, however ultimately, I hope I styled them primarily based on their vibe. Please look out for Half 2 of this text.
