On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being not at all and 10 being very, how comfortable are your skinny jeans?
If you answered anything above a 7, you’re probably lying. And if you’re not, please tell me where you bought your extremely comfy skinny jeans.
Jeans are not all that comfy to begin with, and second-skin denim is definitely on top of the list of clothing items we look forward to peeling off our bodies once we get home. Though despite that, we continue to squeeze into such form-fitting jeans because let’s face it: they’re one of the most versatile pieces of clothes out there, truly making them a wardrobe staple that is hard to live without.
But something worth keeping in mind is that this closet must-have, and any other essential item out there, can easily be replaced.
You might be wondering what other denim silhouettes could possibly match the flexibility (not in the literal sense) of skinny jeans. One thing you need to get out of your head is the idea that those jeans are superior to the rest. While there is something quite sexy about high-waist skin-tight denim, bodycon silhouettes are not the only way to show off your figure. Besides, you need diversity in your wardrobe, and you’re not going to get that when your denim collection consists of 10 different pairs of skinny jeans.
Alright then, so what styles could you adopt as your everyday jeans?
Flared Jeans
Don’t believe anyone that says that flared jeans were only made for tall people. As Verily Mag indicates, there’s a flare for every body type, with curvier ladies looking amazing in wider flares and smaller sisters looking fabulous in boot cut. It’s just about taking the time to figure out what works best for your shape. How exactly would you wear a pair like our Retro Flared Jeans? Slightly tighter tops are a safe bet if you’re afraid of wearing too much flare. You can also tuck in your tops, possibly wear a belt to create that curvy silhouette. Tight tees and tanks aren’t the only items you can wear—almost anything can be matched with flared jeans. Channel your inner hippie with a boho blouse. The key is to not go full-on ’70s, adding contemporary styling to avoid that costume look.

Boyfriend Jeans
Afraid to try boyfriend jeans because it goes everything against your ultra femme style? In a way, boyfriend jeans have much more outfit potential compared to skinny denim. The outfit possibilities are endless with this loose fit, ranging from that “I’m literally wearing all my boyfriend’s clothes” look to “I can make anything look feminine” vibe. Your first instinct might not be to pair the jeans with a crop top, floral blouse, or pointed slingback flats, but you’d be surprised by how well those work with the pants. And if you’re still not convinced, these High Waist Cropped Boyfriend Jeans will still be able to fit snugly on your waist, so that your curves aren’t lost in all the loose-fitted clothing.

Loose Distressed Denim
One quality we can all appreciate about skinny jeans is their undeniable ability to streamline any ensemble. Their clean lines make it perfect for wearing with the most basic of tees and the fanciest of blouses. Compare that to distressed denim, the latter looks messy, and seemingly not an appropriate alternative to the former; however, with a simple tuck of a tank, a long cardigan or robe, and pair of heels, the outfit goes from trashy to classy. Got a long-sleeve backless bodysuit you’ve been dying to wear but can’t seem to find bottoms to balance everything out? Throw on these Korean Fashion Loose Jeans, cuff them at the bottom and wear them with your favorite heeled ankle boots. If you aren’t keen on the heels, feel free to wear them with ballet flats. Or even sneakers, if you want to add a “down-to-earth” element to your look. Just as it is with boyfriend jeans, an outfit featuring loose distressed denim can be as boyish or girly as you want it to be.

Do you think you can ditch your skinny jeans entirely? My guess is probably not, or at least not yet, but at least you now know that they aren’t everything. As reliable as they can be, there’s much more to denim that’s worth exploring, and if you give them a chance, you could very well be on your way to retiring second skin jeans altogether.
