Opt for skinnies in different colors other than the basics like black or blue. Try maroon, beige, or cream for the neutrals, or you could even choose those neons if you want to go bolder and brighter. Pair the neons with light, simple and subtle top like white shirt – as well as less accessories and busy prints – to tone down the vibrancy and to get a more balanced look

Sure skinny jeans have stayed on top for number one must-have denim, the look of skinnies is impossible to mess up. If a pair runs too long, you can simply roll up the hem, if it’s too short, you can just create an easy cropped pants’ chic look.  Flare silhouettes, on the other hand, might just be the unsung hero of the denim world, especially when compared to the skinnies.

But, once you try these flared trousers and find them in best fit to your figure, your legs will look a mile long, especially when you wear them with heels – even though I also believe flared denim doesn’t always have to be worn with heels.

The great thing about flared jeans is that the style has silhouette that can balance out wider hips, accentuate a curvy feminine shape, and make your legs appear longer and leaner. These pants also create such classic, elegant look, which is great if you want to enhance your sophisticated side. Just keep in mind as with all your favorite jeans, it’s what you wear with them that adds character.

Opt for different styles of outerwear, tops, or footwear to create your own personal style. You can either go minimalist with simple tee and black jacket, or add colors with pastel long knit-cardigan. For semi-formal look like casual Fridays at work, dark flared or bootcut jeans with tailored blazers will give a more polished look.

And for the fifth must-have denim, check your wardrobe if you already have a piece of denim skirt. This item is also one of those versatile wardrobe separates that easily be paired with almost anything in your closet. You can keep it casual or even dress it up a little, but either way, it’s all about the accessories.

Moreover, when choosing styles of denim skirt, there two general silhouettes including pencil skirt which is slim-and-straight or A-line which is fit-and-flared. So, it’s important to find one that perfectly flatters your shape and best suited to your style – but basically you could choose both of them since they are equally stylish. While pencil skirt offers classic silhouette that creates flattering fit, an A-line skirt gives fancier and more fun attitude to your style.

Whether it’s pencil or full skirt, fit-and-flared or slim-and-straight, mini, midi, or long skirt, as a versatile fashion item, treat your skirt as a basic staple – like the classic denim pants – and you can get a lot of mileage out of it while showing a lot more leg than you would with pants.
