Tuesday Thrills - J Brand Jeans

Wide Leg Jeans

by J Brand



This Winter, the wide leg jean makes a trendy comeback. This 70's inspired pair of denim is fitted on the waist and hip, slightly looser on the thigh, then extends into a bell-bottom shape from the knee down. The wide leg silhouette elongates your bottom half and makes you look taller. Which is exactly what I need. I love these fabulous pairs of wide legs from quintessential denim company, J Brand. 









1. Skipper in Atlantic. 100% cotton, mid rise pair of jeans in a lovely blue-grey colour. Wear it to work with a tucked in white shirt. $211 or R1421.

2. Kiki in Pure. A dark blue pair of high rise jeans made from lightweight stretch fabric. Wear it with high heels, pretty cami and cardigan. $180 or R1212.

3. Bette in Aspen. White jeans can be intimidating, but the shape of this one ensures a classy look. Wear with a light denim blue shirt or striped tee for a nautical look. $218 or R1468.

4. Kiki in Shadow. A black pair of wide legs is more forgiving on your bottom half. This high-rise stretch jeans are as good as a pair of black trousers. $196 or R1320. 

5. Kiki in Lotus. This medium blue denim with faded detail is great for weekend wear with a simple t-shirt and leather belt. $203 or R1367.

6. Bette in Wonderama. A lighter wash denim with high rise and front pockets. Wear with a printed feminine 70's style blouse and wedge heels. $218 or R1468.

The Coloured Jeans Trend

Denim jeans in delectable shades are a huge trend this season. Add a refreshing splash of colour to your rail of tedious blue jeans. If you're intimidating by the bright colours, you can opt for subtle pastel shades instead. This streetwise trend has been a hit with celebrities, as shown below.

Tips for Wearing Coloured Jeans



* Team your coloured jeans with neutral tops like black, white, beige and grey.

* Coloured jeans draw attention to your bottom half- this is something you need to be comfortable with.

* A biker jacket or blazer will complement your look.

* Add a printed scarf to jazz things up.

* Keep accessories to a minimum.

* Make sure your jeans are a skinny fit. A colourful wide leg will make you look like part of the Brady Bunch.

* Wear your jeans with ankle boots or flats. Heels make it look too dressed up.

* Have fun with the exciting colours on offer.
