Closet Update: 2021 Denim Refresh
In need of a spring denim wardrobe refresh? I’ve got you covered. Teaming up with style expert Candace M. Read of CandaceMRead.com to showcase three silhouettes/ brands of denim to give you some inspiration! Denim has been a hot topic lately so we’re exciting to showcase some of this season’s trends that easily add a unique spin to your wardrobe. Candace and I have similar body shapes but wear different sizes. Our hope is that you feel inspired to try a new silhouette or style and if you cannot bear to part ways with your skinny jeans (same), I’ve got a tip for you!
MADEWELL PERFECT VINTAGE JEAN
These are easily my most worn pair of jeans. I’ve had them for over a year now and I cannot recommend them enough! They work well dressed up or down, I’ve even paired them with sneakers. They have a slim but straight-ish leg so they are a good pair to invest in if you’re looking to dip your toe into the non-skinny jean pond. Use code HOWFUN for 20% off $100.
SIZING RANGE: 23-37 REGULAR, PETITE AND TALL
SIZES WORN: CANDACE, 25R | CARALYN, 31R
JEANS | BUTTON DOWN (I WEAR L) | SHOES | HOOPS
abercrombie & Fitch High Rise Kick Flare Jeans
Within the past few years, I have rediscovered Abercrombie & Fitch and their denim offerings. They are slowly but surely becoming more inclusive, with some styles up to size 37. When on sale, they are one of my favorite lower price point options for denim. We decided to try out a trendier style, the kick flare jeans. I love wearing these types of jeans with a pointed toe heel or flat but Candace inspired me to rock it with a sneaker. Use AF15 this weekend for an extra discount at checkout!

When Candace and I were conceptualizing ideas for this post, I told her I was unwilling to part with my skinny jeans despite them not being as “trendy” anymore, in case you missed it - you can read more about that here. She assured me you do NOT have to say goodbye to your beloved skinny jeans. I am a firm believer that you should wear what makes you feel good and a good pair of skinny jeans make me feel GREAT! Her suggestion was to opt for darker shades of denim and pair with a more modern shoe like these, these, these or these! Candace was feeling a bit more brave and decided to try a dark, full length straight jean. She definitely inspired me to try it out next time.
