Barrel jeans: Why I can’t stop wearing them ! #stealmystyle.

What’s the new piece in my wardrobe I can’t stop wearing at the moment?
My new barrel leg jeans !
Because …guess what ?
I actually WEAR my own wardrobe. Even REPEAT wear.
Outrageous!
So when I choose anything: I really think about how it will fit in my wardrobe. How I can wear it multiple ways.
How I can get maximum mileage out of it.
Which is why you see me here wearing lots of favorite pieces again and again. In different ways.
Because isn’t that how women really dress?

Let’s talk about these jeans.
They are called barrel jeans. Carrot leg. Balloon leg. Tapered.
Look for a shape that are wide over the hips, almost like old fashioned jodhpurs and then go in at the ankle.
You can go for an exaggerated shape like these or go for a more subtle style.
They can have a high waist but I quite like it mid rise ( which remember was SOOO high rise 5 years ago).
They are supposed to be loose and look low key.
I love this classic denim wash but I am also thinking about getting  dark blue denim or these black denim too.
Oh and white barrel jeans for summer ?
Yes. Please . Love these and they are on sale.
BTW I have been wearing these COS balloon jeans for a few seasons now.
Sooo good : They keep selling out and then coming back. In every colour .

What’s great is that barrel jeans are instant wardrobe updaters .
So comfortable. So chic. So damn groovy.
Suddenly everything looks cool. You FEEL cool. You are comfortable
Perfect when your current wardrobe needs an injection of farshun.
Watch as they immediately joosh up anything you wear. I promise.

The way I’ve been wearing barrel jeans ?
With a million different jackets !
From a utility vest to a neat tailored black blazer, an oversized camel blazer, a short pleather shacket, with a denim shacket, a trench coat. And of course these jeans look great with a simple white boxy tee.
The point ?
These jeans hold their own with whatever you’re wearing.
You don’t look like you’re trying too hard.
The cool modern updated shapes speak for themselves.
Which means you don’t have to fluff around with accessories trying to joosh up your look.
No, NO and No!
updated modern shapes make life easy : You just put on these jeans, slide into your white shoes, grab a jacket and you’re out the door!

Styling tips:
Wear a white tee under everything !
Choose white ( or tan) shoes to lighten the look: mules, strappy sandals, pointy heels, kitten heels or net flats.
The shorter length of these barrel jeans is so right in summer with any of these shoes.
Finish the look with a tan or black bag and cool sunglasses .

Everybody stop looking : I’ve found the best barrel jeans luxe to less !
Plus I have included anything here that is current and available instore below.
Hope this gives you ideas on new ways of styling and how to build a wardrobe!
