Ii. The Magic of Details That Make Jeans Instantly More Expensive (Must-Read!)"
The style of trousers determines success or failure.
The best solution for leg shape modification: Straight-leg pants (almost omnipotent)
The ultimate tool for lengthening your legs: slightly flared/wide-leg pants (paired with thick-soled shoes/high heels)
Retro fashion icon: Tapered/dad pants (avoid being too bulky)
Be cautious when choosing: overly tight, overly perforated, or low-waisted styles (which tend to look cheap)
Shoes are soulmates:
Casual feel: canvas shoes, vintage running shoes, Dr. Martens boots
Elegance: Loafers, pointed-toe shoes, square-toed ankle boots, strappy sandals
Height-increasing fashion: thick-soled cigarette boots, dad shoes, cat heel shoes
Key point: Keep the upper of the shoes clean! Dirty shoes ruin everything.
The belt is the finishing touch:
Basic style: 1.5-2cm wide black/brown leather belt (suitable for commuting)
Fashionable styles: Metal buckle wide belt (for creating waistlines), chain belt (for adding highlights)
The Art of rolling up trouser legs
Straight-leg pants: Roll 1-2 pairs to expose the thinnest ankles
Wide-leg pants: Choose natural stacking or slightly curled edges (avoid overly wide stacking)
Bag style anchoring:
Commuting: Square tote bag, leather briefcase
Casual: Canvas bags, underarm bags, mini backpacks
Fashionable: Mini handbags, irregular-shaped bags
Iii. 2024 Jeans Trend Barometer (Niche But Impressive)
Y2K low waist slightly Flared: Try with caution! It should be paired with a short top to expose the waist, which is suitable for those with a well-proportioned figure.
Deconstructivist jeans: misaligned pockets, asymmetrical stitching, three-dimensional cutting (choose one highlight only).
Workwear denim culottes: A-line style + workwear pockets, mixed and matched with feminine tops (silk, lace) is simply amazing.
Tie-dyed/gradient denim: Choosing small area smudging is more practical to wear.
General rule:
Fit is king: A well-proported waist and hips, with a slight surplus in the thighs, make one look slimmer.
Investing in classic colors: retro blue, dark blue, charcoal black and cream white are the most versatile and enduring.
When it comes to fabric weight, choose heavy denim weighing over 400g for autumn and winter, and light and thin denim weighing around 280g for spring and summer.
Gender mobility: The above plans are suitable for both men and women. Men can refer to the silhouette and shoe style to choose (for example, loafers can be changed to work boots, and waist-exposing outfits can be changed to loose T-shirts).
Remember: The essence of fashion is self-expression. Finding the combination that makes you feel confident is the most fashionable! Hurry up and try these formulas!
