New jeans on the block

Do you own a pair of skinny jeans? Of course you do - from classic navy, to jet black, to vibrant red, skinny jeans have become a wardrobe staple.They are great and, yep, I love them too.

But recently the more neglected baggier style is making a comeback. And rightly so.
Although skinny jeans are flattering for most women, often creating a slimming effect, they are pretty tight. Fine when it's cooler, but in the summer months that is definitely not what you want!

Contrast this to the low swung boyfriend and/or 'mom' jeans and your legs have some much needed breathing space. No blood vessel constriction included.

The style of jeans is trickier to get right than the classic skinny, though. Wear it with an oversized T-shirt and trainers and you may end up looking like mum on her school run. But wear it with something more sheek and the look will be on point.

Rips and tears? Again, tricky. Some varieties of this style only have holes in the knees making them look a little rogue. If rips are your thing, go for ones which have a few on the upper leg area too, as well as cut outs on the knee. This will balance out the look. 

And if you're feeling brave, you can make your own using a pair of scissors and/or pin and/or tweezers (as below). Make sure to use a dark pencil beforehand to sketch out where the rips will be. That said, perhaps don't try this on your favourite pair of Ralph Laurens....
