How to Dress Up a Pair of Boyfriend Jeans

My take on weekend fashion can be often described as “comfortable” and “cozy.” Unless I’m staying home (and in that case, wearing sweats), I tend to live in jeans and cardigans. A lot of the time, I stick to skinny jeans, but as you already know, I also love to wear boyfriend jeans.

When it comes to wearing boyfriend jeans, I know that it can be a little bit tricky to put together a casual outfit that doesn’t look “sloppy.” So, how do I dress up a pair of boyfriend jeans? Any time I feel like my outfit is about to cross into “hot mess” territory, I turn to accessories to help me out. It’s as simple as throwing on a pretty necklace and more importantly, a pair of heels. Yes, it’s really that simple. A pair of shoes can change everything!

I’ll be honest. Even though I’m a petite person, I don’t wear heels all that often. I’ve actually been making more of an effort to wear heels these days, because I love how I feel when I wear them. Pumps = Confidence. End of story! Of course, as a newbie, I’m still learning how to walk in heels. Seriously. I look like a baby giraffe taking its first steps when I have to walk more than a few feet in them…but it’s a work in progress! Now, I’m not exactly proud to say this! It’s slightly easier with wedges or boots because you have a bit more support with them! In fact, I recently started looking to purchase a pair of Flat knee high Boots because I don’t think I could rise up to the heeled boots yet. They add so much class to an outfit, I thought they would go so perfect with so many of my favorite moments. There is so much I could do with investing in good accessories, whether shoes or jewelry! Perhaps I’ll lose the heels for a bit though unless I’m doing a fashion shoot as I don’t have to walk too much!

    Woah! I love boyfriend jeans on you! The clutch and pair of heels makes it so sophisticated. Where is the clutch from? Such a lovely piece! And I agree– pumps can change everything.

      Ah, I realize I didn’t mention where the clutch is from! I bought it at Hudson Bay a couple of years ago, and I think it’s a lower end version of Alice + Olivia.

      It’s one of my favourites! I bought it last year and now that they have it again…I may want it in another colour!

      Thank you so much Eleni! My problem is that I only have a couple of pairs, so that’s probably a reason to get more?

    Boyfriend jeans + heels= casual chic! You are so funny regarding your comment about resembling a baby giraffe when walking in heels. Keep it up! Practice makes perfect. It’s so true that pumps= confidence. Love this look on you, Jackie!

    I’m like you – I used to never wear heels except on the blog! I started wearing them more to work but the minute I get home, I kick them off and lounge around barefooted lol!
    Boyfriend jeans are seriously the best when it comes to weekend wear! They’re so effortlessly chic and pairing them with heels really adds an oomph to the entire look! Love it!

    Now that you mention you never wear heels I’m totally realizing that I’ve barely seen any blog outfits with them. It’s funny, because I would’ve never noticed if you didn’t say anything haha.

    Keep practicing 🙂

    I don’t wear heels that often either, but I love the relaxed casual vibe of this look! Do you have any tips on how to buy boyfriend jeans? I always worry about adding too much volume.
