Hi, I'm Erin, I'm a fashion stylist. And, I'm going to show you what to wear with boot cut jeans. Boot cut jeans are the ones that are fitted through the leg, and then flare out a little at the bottom. They are a must-have. That's because they're universally flattering and versatile. Still, many of you are not sure what to wear with them. Our model, Heather, can show you one option. She is wearing dark wash boot cut jeans. This is definitely my favorite wash. Jeans that have fading, or are lighter blue, won't be as slimming. The dark wash is also dressier. I would rock this glamorous look for a night on the town, either with your girls, or with your guy. I coupled the Joe's Jeans with a sexy sheer lace blouse. The blouse is so sheer, you need a cami underneath, but you don't need much else. That's because the lace and the bow tie collar create enough interest. The shirt fits snugly, which balances out the flared bottom. Oh her feet, Heather is wearing a pair of sky high suede black ankle boots. Again, because there is so much detail in the top, I would keep accessories to a minimum. Heather is sporting a sparkly, simple pair of gold earrings. Some other chic options for your boot cut jeans? A blazer over a t-shirt, or just throw on a white button down shirt for a classic look. Don't be afraid to try different blouses, cardigans, and jackets. Your boot cut jeans should become one of your most used wardrobe staples.
