Its no secret that I'm not a huge denim wearer. I have two faithful pairs I rely on for those 'I don't know what to wear days'. But, the trans-seasonal factor of a good boyfriend jean cannot be dismissed, ladies. I've put my style-knowledge to the test and put together three 'casual' boyfriend jeans looks together with, of course, the glamorous Rachelle-reader edge.
A glamorous shaggy fur gilet (Michael Kors £820) is far more my style than a pair of jeans, but who says they cant work together? This Current/Elliot pair (£215) pass the ankle length (rule numero uno: show at least three inches of ankle to keep the look sexy) and are slim enough to wear with this baggy Acne tee (£70) without looking drowned. I could never wear jeans without heels, especially boyfriend jeans, because simply - well, I'd feel like a boy. These burgundy Versus suede pumps (£345) teamed with the highly sought after new Mulberry tassel studded leather satchel (£995) add another dimension to the outfit.
Jeans and a stripy tee are a classic combination, make the look a little more sophisticated with an exaggerated shoulder Maison Martin Margiela top (£425) and a 3.1 Philip Lim tweed jacket (£625). The cropped Marni Jeans (£250) are very similar to the aforementioned Current/Elliot pair. This Tom Binns necklace (£1,305) pulls the look together and the Burberry Prorsum (£3,495) adds to the luxurious and sophisticated effect.
Don't recoil in horror at the black/camel/blue jeans combo (it is my father-in-laws daily uniform) it can be stylish, with a little attention to detail. Start off-duty basics you already have; the jeans (these are from Gucci£565), a caramel coloured tee (you can't go wrong with Kain £80), a leather jacket (The Row is the ultimate in luxury leather £2,145) and some cool ankle boots (this is definitely Christian Louboutin's forte £765). Add some comfy day off accessories; a soft bra (La Perla £135) a go-with-anything scarf (£265 Alexander McQueen) and a slouchy bag (Bottega Veneta large shoulder bag £1,575) and there you have it - as easy as that. rachel xo
