I feel as if we’re in full blown Halloween mode over here. We’re asked everyday (well, this has been going on since the first day in October) “How many more days until Halloween…” and this week is Red Ribbon week at both the girl’s schools so there is a “special” theme to each day… which involves dressing up… “wild hair” “wild socks” “neon” “50’s theme….” Needless to say when the reminder went out Sunday evening, I may, or may not have, been searching Amazon for “colored hair spray,” and more. So thankful for overnight + two day shipping options… #lifesaver
All of that aside, I first discovered this pair of DL1961 wide legged jeans last spring, when they were included in a site wide sale and I had finally decided to give the full length denim a try. I purchased them assuming they would be an immediate return, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and they fit like a dream (slight amount of stretch, with a high waist, makes them super comfortable IMO…). I wore them the next day with my favorite low top sneakers… and over the past several months I added the white and black colors to my wardrobe and find myself reaching for them over and over again.
Personally, I think you can wear the wide legged jeans with just about anything, it’s just about getting the proportions right. I ended up cutting my white and denim colored pair because I wanted to increase their versatility. I was finding that wearing them full length with, say, a boot was looking a little too bulky (on me… short legs here)… So I ended up cutting mine to hit an inch or two below the ankle… and have been loving all the different combinations. I’ve left the black pair full length, and they’re still great, I just might not wear them with some of the other shoe styles below because of the added bulk when they hit the shoe (I’m fairly particular about that)….
Anyway, I decided to round up a few different ways to wear them below. I organized the post based on the types of shoes to wear the jeans with… high tops (my favorite option), low tops, mules, boots, clogs, and sandals. And while I didn’t hit every category as much as I would have wanted to… and missed some all together (heels…).. my hope is that the post can act as inpso to show how versatile the style can be. And for the record, they would look absolutely great with heels.
Hope everyone has a great day!
