Denim and denim.
And then a bit more denim.
It’s almost the default setting for getting dressed.
We love jeans but also look out for denim in new shapes: A puff sleeve denim shirt, a denim dress, a snappy denim boiler suit. Or love this flirty skirt, a cool denim shacket or a fabulous denim blazer.
All these pieces that a casual cool edge to your wardrobe.

FiFi rule numero uno?
Update, update, update.
Especially in the jeans department.
Goodbye and au revoir to skinny low rise jeans.
(Apologies to regular FiFi Report readers as I have been yelling this at you for the last 7 years. LOLs) (That’s 5 years of wear of straight leg)( You’re welcome.)
Say hello and kiss on both cheeks to the new shape jeans.

And I’ll tell you why:

Because if you update your jeans suddenly your daggy old tops, sweaters & tight blazers lurking in your closet look good.
You tuck the tops into the high waist. The proportions change.
Instantly your old tops look good. Instantly your old blazer looks modern.
You get more wear from you wardrobe. This is the aim non?

Here’s the checklist of what jeans you need in your wardrobe:

  • High rise straight (or baggy jeans!) in a light colour ..like these straight jeans at SEED or at Arket.
  • High rise wide leg jeans like these from Zara (I have white, dark denim and leather)
    NB: go up a size I got 42!
  • High rise slouchy leg jeans with a side pocket like these at COS
  • Love the new cargo jeans here from HM.
  • For a dressier look for when you are going out you should invest in the dark denim ( I have some similar to these from Outnet) as they look a bit chicer than faded blue jeans.

Styling tips:

  • Finding the right jeans is like finding a husband: you have to try alot on to find the right fit!
  • Whatever your shape there are jeans out there to suit you.
  • The trick to styling : add navy and white in the clothing.
  • Love double denim : it looks great with camel.
  • Stick to a blue theme like a stripey knit.
  • Most importantly break up the denim with dollops of tan and white. It’s a match made in heaven.
  • You want a tan bag, tan belt, tan heels, multi colour sneakers, white boots or even gold heels. All or any of them. Just something to lighten the denim.
