3 Ways I Style My Favorite Jeans for the Summer
What's better than blue jeans? It's a pair of versatile, comfortable, perfectly-fitting, classic blue wash jeans. And if you think these are too many boxes for one pair of jeans to check, then think again! I'm always on the search for the perfect jeans and I can confidently say that I have found them, or at least I'm getting satisfyingly close to the jeans of my dreams. To say that it's been an arduous journey is an understatement considering the dozens of jeans I've tried and purchased over the years. So you can imagine how rewarding finding a close-to-perfect one feels! These are a dream for so many reasons, including the fact that they come in tall sizing with a length that's flattering to my 5'11" stature. These jeans also serve good flexibility while retaining the structure of traditional denim. Because friends, one thing I haven't gotten on yet is lightweight denim. For some reason, the lighter the denim fabric, the less it feels like denim to me! Another thing that I love about those jeans is the classic, homogenous blue wash that can be dressed up for the office or dressed down for after-hours and weekend errands. This feature makes them so versatile and when you're all about building a capsule wardrobe, that makes a big difference. And let's not forget the waist situation. I've been wearing high-waisted bottoms for a few years now and honestly speaking, I don't know if I'll ever be able to lower my waist standard (do you see the pun here?!) again. These jeans feature a high-waist cut that makes them easy to style with cropped tops and longer ones alike. And the higher waist does something to smooth the mid section and who doesn't like that? Anyhoo, let's jump into 3 easy ways you can style these jeans for the Summer.
1. Wide-leg Blue Jeans with Flared Sleeve Boxy Shirt
Here's a PSA for you in case you didn't know: you can be simple while making a statement. Sounds paradoxical, but the combo of these blue jeans and boxy white shirt proves that it's possible! Cropped tops have been having a moment, and I have not shied away from them. In fact, the right crop length and style can elevate a look as much as a classic top would. Another thing that I also love about this look is the color combination. Blue and white go so well together plus they give off a fresh vibe that's so cooling for the Summer.

2. Wide-leg Blue Jeans with Black Halter Blouse
Halter necklines will always have my heart! I just love how bare shoulders give off a sexy vibe while still being appropriate for a range of occasions. I went for a simple black halter blouse from Express to pair with these blue jeans and black strappy sandals for a chic and versatile look. I wore this to run some weekend errands but nothing wrong with transitioning from a Costco run to date night with that cute top!

3. Wide-leg Blue Jeans with Green Blouse
Effortless style doesn't get easier than a good pair of jeans with a tucked-in blouse. Whether it's a button-up, sleeveless, or voluminous sleeve piece, a blouse is sure to bring elevated balance to the casual flair of denim. And during the Summer, the possibilities are endless with your color choices! Blue and green is another refreshing color combo that I love for the hot season hence this look. I finished it with my Schutz Ully green strappy sandals for some coordinated action and a comfortable touch.
