I love my skinny jeans and don’t see my love ending anytime soon. Buuuut apparently there are non-skinny jeans options that all the cool younger kids are saying we should wear. I have NO CLUE how to wear anything other than my skinny jeans, so I took it to the experts. I asked a few Baton Rouge boutique owners their advice for styling non-skinny jeans — from flares to straight legs. They’ve got us covered, ladies!
But don’t worry: Boutique owners across the board said skinny jeans weren’t going anywhere! So we can all relax and ease into these other styles… if we want.
SAVE THE DATE: BATON ROUGE BOUTIQUE BLOWOUT SALE - SUNDAY, MARCH 21!
MOXI: MID-RISE FLARES
These mid-rise flares are a Moxi BESTSELLER! They have amazing stretch and flatter a variety of body types. They pair well with a front tucked blouse and platform wedges or heels.
If you’re on the shorter side, you can opt to hem them yourself to your desired length with a pair of fabric scissors — raw hem denim is on trend, and it will save you the time and cost of a professional tailor. - Jenee

BLUSH & ROUGE: FLARE JEANS
One of my favorite ways to style an outfit is with flare jeans. They give off the illusion that you are taller, which is perfect for all my ladies including myself who are looking to elongate their legs.
Wear a heel or bootie instead of a sandal. The bottom of the jeans should brush the floor. If the pants are too short or too long, it will ruin the illusion and have the opposite effect. - Angie

SOSIS: High Rise Ankle FlareS
This pair of ankle flares are extremely figure-flattering. I would style them with a statement bootie, a flirty kimono and a fun hat for an effortless outfit. - Annie Claire

VERTAGE: STRAIGHT LEG DENIM
An easy transition from your typical skinny jeans is the new straight leg version of denim. This updated style is typically a higher waist and fuller leg from the knee to the ankle. You can wear the straight leg denim the way you would wear your skinny jeans, with spring booties, wedges, sneakers and flats.
White jeans can be difficult on any body type but these new “mom” style white jeans are so versatile and so flattering with the denim featuring your silhouette vs being very fitted with a skinny denim.
p.s. We all have loved our skinny jeans and will continue to wear and sell them as they are a staple item in any wardrobe, so don’t fret. You are your most stylish in what you feel the most comfortable and confident in. - Heather

FAB’RIK: CROP FLARES
The crop flare is very versatile. Dress them up or down just like all your other denim. Throw a heel on to elevate your look or keep it casual with a slip on sneaker and cropped tank. There are so many different ways to wear them!
I was hesitant to give up my skinny jeans at first, but keep an open mind and try different styles, inseams and washes until you find your perfect fit! - Elizabeth

SO GRATEFUL BOUTIQUE: BOYFRIEND JEANS
Style these Cuffed Distressed Boyfriend Jeans with a design-inspired graphic tee and black blazer. Pair with a classic nude block heel and of course layers of gold jewelry to finish the look. This is a great business-casual look. - Mindy

FASHION ALLIE: Tie-Waist Wide Leg Pant
I’m not a fan of following the “norm” and conforming to what society says we should do and who we should be, so we at Fashion Allie are still very much going to continue to ride the skinny jean and side part train!
However, we do like to keep up with trends as best we can, so we have offered various styles. Currently, we offer a “Twill Tie-Waist Wide Leg Khaki Pant.”
Although not a denim, it is a new trending style. We are loving the high-waist paper bag style with front tie. It’s such a flattering design!
Perfectly pair these pants dressed up with a beautiful blouse or bodysuit tucked into them or dressed down with a lightweight sweater or graphic tee and finish off with a cute mule, heel, sandal or sneaker. - Allie

ISBY JAMES: SKINNY JEANS
Regardless of what GenZ says, skinny jeans are a staple in our closet and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon for us. Whether your skinny jeans are perfectly plain, slightly edgy with a distressed hem or a little sassy with a piping detail down the sides — you can’t go wrong!
Keep your skinnies fun and fresh by pairing any of these styles with casual sneakers, edgy mules or sassy heels to effortlessly change it up. - Reba
