Skinny jeans will always be a staple denim in my closet, but I’ve slowly been experimenting with different styles over the past year. I’ve been shifting towards towards more relaxed fits, and I finally tried my first pair of straight leg jeans–and I’m in love!

These Everlane Original Cheeky Straight Jeans [wearing my true size in ankle] are easily one of the most comfortable jeans in my closet. They have a slightly relaxed fit, a perfect vintage wash to them and fit nicely on the bum. These are the kind of jeans you will find yourself grabbing for those I-don’t-want-to-change-out-of-sweats-and-put-on-jeans-but-I-need-to-look-pulled-together kind of days [so basically everyday haha].

Since I’m only 5’4”, I find that these look most complimentary on my more petite frame when I wear shoes with a slight heel. Booties or pointed toes shoes both help elongate the frame. I also like tucking in my shirts to help compliment my frame and give it that ‘pulled-together’ look.

Wear them alone with a simple tee or oversized sweater for an everyday casual-chic look, or dress them up for a WFH look with a classic button up, or layer away!
