A crop trench + white tee + jeans = Your every day uniform !
A crop trench and wide leg jeans.
What’s not to love about those two pieces together ?!
Easy, relaxed, low key dressing ..
The crop trench ?
It needs to be an exaggerated cut : you want big sleeves , an oversized cut , it is NOT a neat tight jacket.
It should have swing or volume . A updated modern cut. Short is best, it works with high waist jeans and pants because they meet in the middle. This is good. Creates shape in the volume.
A self belt on the jacket is good but not compulsory.
This jacket from Acne is about 5 years old and one of my favorites jackets ever !! ( If you have been following me for a while you know what I mean: I wear it ALOT).( You might find it at Vestiaire )
A crop trench is s0 versatile, that’s why I love it. It can be casual on weekends but you can also wear it out at night with a chic blouse, slouchy pants and heels. It works right across the seasons so you can wear it over a white tee now but later in winter over a knit with leather pants and white loafers. ( My winter uniform!).
The Jeans ?
These jeans I am wearing are a few season old from COS. Such a great buy. ( did you nab some when I told you to?!)
The side pockets and flat front make them more like denim pants – a bit dressier than your usual jeans. Yes, please :Day to evening in a flash ! Love the wide leg and the floppy light denim. Great while the weather is still warm. They work with both heels or flats. Simir here and here. And here . Or in darker, side pocket denim here.
Styling tips :
Think three colours on the body : denim, camel and white.
( As I have been saying for 100 years (!) two colours is too matchy match and more than three? Who has the time to think that through and pull it off?). Pull on your favourite white tee ( this one from lululemon!) and white mules, grab a tan or brown bag and you’re good to go.
As you know I’ve been banging on about a crop trench and why you should buy one for years – Good work if have already invested in one. Bet you love it !
