How I style white jeans

#NSale #jeans #colour

Last week I featured a post showing how I styled my white jeans with a pop of bright pink. This week I thought I would show you the same pair of jeans teamed with a soft summer colour.

This time I am wearing them with a turquoise/cream three quarter length coat. I find this length very useful and flattering. It covers the bum and adheres to the two thirds rule.

A white clutch bag, strappy white sandals and pearl necklace completes the look.

The coat that I am wearing is a couple of years old originally from MandS. Shoes and bag also some years old.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

lovely outfit. My Texas lifestyle is much more casual and my white jeans are usually topped w/a shirt or tunic.

Very flattering on you. Please could you explain the two thirds rule? Thanks.

  Hi Jane
  
  The rule of thirds is used a lot in design and photography to create harmonious proportions and works just as well when putting an outfit together.
  
  How you use it will depend on your height and figure shape. In the photo I have 2/3 for the coat and 1/3 for the trousers which works as I am reasonably tall. If for example you are wearing wide trousers you might want to team it with a short jacket. It is all about creating pleasing proportions. You might like to experiment with a skirt or trousers and different length tops to see which proportion works best for you. If you draw a line in the middle of your body this can often look a bit square.
