How to Free Yourself From Skinny Jeans

Ladies, I come bearing bad news… skinny jeans are officially over. OVER, I tell you. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, because boyfit styles and straight cuts have been back in fashion for a number of seasons now; but if skinny jeans have been part of your uniform for the last decade it might be difficult to step out of your comfort zone. I’m definitely struggling!

And that’s why I’ve put together a simple three-step plan, which if followed correctly should free you from the clutch of your skinny jeans forever. Feeling up to the challenge? Then here you go…

One Step Up From Skinny… Madewell’s slim boyjeans (also try Gap real straight jeans)
Two Steps Up From Skinny… J Brand’s low-rise boyfriend jeans (also try Topshop’s boyfit jeans)
Three Steps Up From Skinny… MiH’s kick flare jeans (also try ASOS’ kick flares)

I’m still stuck on stage one, and my straight-leg Juicy Couture jeans are about as far as I’ll venture into new territory. But I really, really want to make the jump to looser boyfriend cuts and elongating flares. Because, let’s face it, although we could all style skinny jeans in our sleep there’s nothing exciting about buying yet another pair of skintight J Brands. It’s time we got excited about something new, and here’s some styling inspiration if you’re a bit stuck for ideas…

So, will you be switching your favourite skinny jeans for a looser cut this season? Or is it impossible to separate you from your favourite skintight denim? Let me know…

P.S despite everything I’ve just written I have absolutely no intention of ditching my J Brand ‘Maria’ jeans completely. Never, ever, ever!
