Be A Crusader for the Tapered Jean

Fashion is all about taking risks and while we’re all for creativity, there are actions that must be taken to not become a victim of style. While some staples embody versatility – we’re looking at you, LBDs of the world – other pieces aren’t as gifted. With its notorious reputation as the “mom” jean, tapered denim deserves a second chance to become your go-to bottoms before they’re labeled as a fashion “don’t.”

Would you believe us if we said it only took three steps to transform your tapered jeans from dowdy to stylish? Read it and weep right below:

Step 1: Expose  

While some condemn the silhouette of the tapered jean, we’re here to highlight the high-waisted feature of this tricky style of denim.

Then you’ve got a match made in heaven with your tapered bottoms and favorite tops. Go for a boxy style or expose some skin in a bustier.  

Step 2: Experiment

While mixing business and pleasure is ill-advised, we think a sharp blazer is the partner your playful, colored jeans have been searching for. Create a streamlined ensemble with your tailored blazer by cuffing your ruby red or teal bottoms for a look that fuses sophistication and quirkiness. Finish off the ensemble with a structured, neutral satchel and shades to keep the haters out.

Step 3: Elevate

Give a girl the right jeans and she’ll get a confidence boost. But add suitable shoes into the mix, and she’ll conquer the world. Counteract the loose cut of the tapered jean with sky-high heels that elongate your legs, amping up the overall allure of the look. Strap on ankle-strapped, neutral heels to dress up your black tapered jeans or opt for cut-out stilettos that add interest to classic, blue denim.  

When it comes to your love for tapered jeans, disprove the naysayers by whipping out these style tricks.

The tapered jean is back and it’s time to make space for it in your wardrobe.
