Skinny Jeans Alternative: Trouser Jeans




You know fall is upon us when all of the fashion magazines feature articles on finding the best fitting jeans. I have to be honest...there are days when I just can't hang with the skinny jean trend touted by so many of those articles. That's where my trusty trouser jeans come into play. The key to wearing them stylishly is proportion. With a wider, easier leg on the bottom, stay more fitted and tailored on the top.  Plus, a perfectly tailored trouser jean just plays well with a crisp shirt and blazer.  Okay, I'll admit the last picture is more of a bell bottom jean than a trouser jean...but the picture just goes to show you that you can break the rules sometimes.  A looser top can be okay too...provided it isn't too blousy and shows off your shape (i.e., your waist), otherwise you run the risk of looking dowdy.  I just love it when jeans are comfortable and stylish...which is exactly what jeans are meant to be . . .
