We provide five essential tips to consider if you want to pull off the stacked jeans look confidently.
Firstly, what are ‘stacked’ jeans?
Stacking refers to the shape of the jeans, they are cut extra-long which causes them to bunch up and form rolls of fabric on the bottom half of the leg when worn. They come in a variety of fits, colors and fabrics.
Finding the right fit
The most popular type is stacked skinny jeans as the fitted style works well with the tapered stacking below the knee. Skinny jeans are suitable for most occasions and work well with most body types, you can opt for slim fit rather than super skinny or ‘spray on’ skinny for the most comfort.
Skinny jeans are not your only option though, flares, baggy fit and cargo jeans are all great options. Waistline is also a consideration, do you want your jeans to be high-waisted, mid or low cut? This is all about individual preference and comfort.
Consider the occasion when selecting jean style
When putting together any outfit, considering the occasion is key to ensuring you are dressed appropriately for the location you are heading to. Luckily, stacked jeans can be styled for most occasions, whether that be the office, date night or a trip to the grocery store.
Distressed and ripped jean styles are a popular choice and are a great day-to-night style, they are casual and a great statement piece that you can build the rest of your outfit around. However, it is best to avoid these styles for occasions with a smarter dress code.
