Like it or not, celebrity styles usually indicate the next wave in fashion trends.
The more stars that jump on board a new twist on an old look, the more likely it is to sweep the malls and thus, land in our own closets. Recently, there have been some pretty distinct styles that allow many body shape variations to play around with trendy jeans.
The Boyfriend Jean
We can thank Katie Holmes for pushing this one into the hands of the masses. Over a year ago she was first seen sporting relaxed to baggy fit jeans haphazardly rolled up to the ankle. This was all during a major skinny jeans and liquid leggings storm. At first it didn't seem like it would be able to stay afloat with all the jeans getting tighter and tighter, but soon enough, there was a mini backlash to all the body-hugging styles and the boyfriend jeans became a major fashion staple. The look has even been spotted frequently on Reese Witherspoon, Rachel Bilson and Amanda Peet.
Distressed Jeans
Whether on the boyfriend style or on skinny jeans, distressed, ripped and shredded jeans have been seen all over the Hollywood set. With some clever cuts in just the right places, noticeably the knees and just about the knee on the thinnest part of the thigh, distressed denim is here to stay, at least for a while. Distressed wearing celebs include Katie Holmes, once again, Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan.
Jeggings
The ubiquitous jeggings, also known as faux leggings and jean leggings, has clearly become a fan staple amongst celebrity and non-celebs alike. Not only do they have that great skinny look, the legging aspect makes them ridiculously comfortable to wear, especially when sitting for longer periods such as during class or even at work. The second-skin look has become a favorite of Sienna Miller, Taylor Swift and Beyonce Knowles.
If you've got the confidence, and the budget, to handle dipping into every fashion trend, these three choices: boyfriend, distressed and jeggings, are a great jumping off point. Experiment with what fits your body type, then enjoy the fun of fast fashion. Tess Ferrton
