How to wear classic jeans four ways

Hello, I am back again with more tips on how to maximise your wardrobe, this time with how to wear classic jeans four ways. I have not progressed to wearing joggers yet, however I may well try a pair soon. In the meantime I have been wearing my tried and trusted Levi jeans (US link) on a regular basis. Some days I am happy to wear them with a simple white tee But sometimes it is nice to dress them up. Above I am wearing them with a pale lilac tie-neck blouse USlink, navy ring belt from Jigsaw but still keeping the vibe casual with my white trainers from FitFlop.

What a difference a change of shoes can make to an outfit. Here I have swopped my trainers for a pair of sparkly silver flats similar.

If you want a bit more formality just add a jacket. My grey checked jacket is a couple of years old from & Other Stories.

Finally, add a belt. I have a long waist so I can take a wide belt similar. You could just as easily create a similar look with a single-breasted jacket and thin or no belt if that is more flattering for your figure.

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.

Thank you Josephine.
Just thought it would be nice to feature something from Fenwick, a UK family business that appear to be hurting at the moment (my view) as they have half price current season online at half original selling price. We don’t want to lose all our unique stores.

  Hello Pru
  Fenwick has always been of my favourite small department stores. I used to work near there and would often pop in. They have been difficult to work with as previously they did not have a good comprehensive website due to the fact that their stores worked independently with seperate buying teams. They have been trying to solve this problem for many years and when I checked they now have a good site so I will see if I can include them.

Hi Josephine , I love how you go “shopping in your closet “ rather than encouraging us to spend .Thank-you.

Josephine, lovely combos. I also think the pewter flats would look stunning with your gray trench. Matching your shoe color to your topper always pulls the look together. We call it, "bottoms up." Cheers to you from Texas.

All four ways look great. Nice lipstick! Agree with previous comment in that we absolutely must support British businesses both now and when we eventually come out of the current crisis.
