Hello ladies, welcome back to Pinkapal Diary. If you're new here, I am Suji. I hope you're doing well and enjoying your summer

In today's video, I wanted to talk about how we can wear straight leg jeans in summer
0:16
If you're like me who loves comfort and probably prefers it more over wearing more fitted clothes
0:23
then I'm sure you already own one of these straight leg jeans because they are extremely comfortable and
0:30
perfect denim for summer, especially because they're comfortable and more breathable. They don't hug your body that much and make you feel uncomfortable when it's really hot outside
0:41
So I absolutely love them and actually love wearing them for summer months when I'm looking to
0:47
wear. In this straight leg jeans style guide, I'm actually covering four different styles of jeans
0:52
with various length and style to show you how you can actually style each one of them
0:58
These are some of the popular styles that you would typically see in a lot of brands
1:04
So that will help you to come up with outfit ideas if you have a specific style of straight-legged jeans in your closet already
1:12
The first straight-leg jeans are Levi's ribcage straight-leg ankle jeans, which I have recently reviewed
1:18
If you're interested, I will link the review video on the cards above as well as in the description box below
1:24
Now, I also have the black version that I shared in the same video. I also have a full-length straight-leg ankle jeans from loft
1:31
They are ripped around their knee to show you more of a full-length straight-leg jeans and how to style them
1:38
And the last jeans are white jeans. I also wanted to share how you can style some white straight-legged jeans
1:44
And these ones are Levi's 501 jeans. The legs of these jeans are a little bit more of narrower compared to the Levi's rib cage jeans
1:54
And that is why I thought it's a perfect example to show you how you can style
1:57
a narrow straight leg jeans. I personally find that with straight leg jeans, if you wear more of
2:05
closed-toe shoes, you tend to look boxier. So showing a bit of your ankle really
2:12
elevates your outfit and actually makes it look more summery compared to wearing full
2:18
closed shoes like chunky sneakers or flats or oxfords that completely close your leg
2:27
But with cropped style of ankle-length jeans, you can get away with wearing a lot of these shoes
2:34
Some of my favorite shoes that I wear with cropped straight-leg jeans are loafer mules
2:41
I personally love loafer mules because they look slow, flattering with everything
2:46
Plus, they are so effortless and chic, as well as because they show a bit of your ankle
2:51
it looks more effortless and it actually elevates your outfit. still wearing kind of a loafer style
2:58
Now, if the loafers are not fully covering your entire feet, you can absolutely wear them as well with these cropped straight-legged jeans
3:08
because they will show a little bit of your ankle and they will elevate your outfit
3:12
If you own more of boxy-style chunky sandals or even strappy sandals where the straps are thicker you can also wear them with cropped straight jeans just because it shows more of your ankle compared to covering most part of it So it looks more flattering compared to if you have
3:31
a full-length jeans, it will look a little bit more boxier for you. If you have straight-legged jeans
3:38
that just touch your ankles, they're not completely cropped or they are not completely full-length
3:44
they're in the middle. You can actually get away with wearing many more summer shoes with
3:49
them. But with this particular length, you look way more flattering if you wear a little bit more of
3:56
yield footwear compared to flats. I personally like mules a lot. They look good with any style of
4:04
jeans and especially with straight leg jeans. They look really elevated and effortless
4:09
I also like platform sandals, platform as paddrels. If you already own them, these are perfect
4:16
footwear to wear with these jeans. if you want to wear or prefer to wear flats opt for a contrasting color that is going to pop out and kind of elevate your look compared to something that is going to blend in with the jeans itself and make you look boxy for full-length straight-leg jeans it is kind of a little bit tougher to find good footwear that are actually flattering if you're going to work or if you want more of an elevated style pumps are a great footwear with these jeans where
4:49
you still have the close-toe style of the footwear, but at the same time, you look more flattering
4:55
and your legs look longer as well. But for summer, I especially love spaddle wedges
5:02
because they look really, really cheap with anything you wear, but they especially flatter these particular style of jeans
5:10
where most of your leg is completely hidden, but you still want to wear summer shoes
5:16
These shoes will keep your toes closed as well as add that length that you're looking for with comfort that you need
5:24
But if you prefer open-toe shoes, I would highly recommend going for platform sandals
5:30
because platform sandals kind of are open-toe style, so they are adding that summary vibe to your jeans
5:37
as well as because of the height that the platform sandals have, you can elongate your legs and make it look really chic and stylish
5:45
Rather than looking boxier and shorter in your jeans, You're wearing straight leg jeans which are more of mom style straight leg jeans
5:53
These are jeans which are not as straight leg or as wide as a typical straight leg jeans are
5:59
They are more of narrower towards your ankle. They almost look like skinny jeans but they are more comfortable and more breathable than skinny jeans
6:08
So that's why that is why the name mom style. These style of jeans typically close your ankle area completely so you need to be mindful of not wearing
6:18
anything which are really chunky or boxy that is going to completely cover your legs and make you look boxier and not so flattering for summer because in summer we really want to look more fresh breathable and more summer chic compared to looking like we just came out from like a winter destination so for me footwares that kind of bring in that silhouette that narrower silhouette to my style are more flattering with these style of jeans some of my favorite footwear with these jeans would be spadrilles especially lace spadrils which are just closed in the front and the back
6:57
because they show a lot of your feet, so they kind of elevate your summer look as well as they
7:03
create that feminine touch that you want to add to these mom style jeans. It doesn't matter whether
7:08
you're wearing flats or you're wearing heels as padrilles. Both of them will look really, really chic
7:12
but I wanted to show you an example. So I'm wearing this blackest petals with these white jeans
7:18
to show you how contrasting color can also elevate your outfit. The other go-to and my favorite footwear are slides
7:28
I literally live in them an entire summer and they're my go-to pair and I always look for jeans that I can wear with them
7:35
and these particular style of mom-style jeans would look amazing with these slides
7:40
now let's get to tops that will look really awesome with these straight leg jeans if you're wearing a cropped
7:48
straight leg jeans i would recommend wearing something fitted or more relaxed but not really oversized top
7:55
because it is not going to look as flattering it is literally going to squish you and make you look
8:00
shorter and boxier just because the jeans are cutting you off right above you know your ankle
8:07
so it is not going to look as flattering if you wear oversize sized tops with these particular style of jeans. My favorites are just regular fit t-shirts because they are simple, straight fit, and they look more structured with these jeans, just because these jeans are more of wider leg compared to other style or even skinny jeans that we wear. The top that I'm actually wearing will also go really well with these style of jeans just because they are fitted, so they will look more of straight, and then you have the jeans
8:40
cutting you right there on your ankle so you're not really creating a different kind of shapes
8:45
which can look frumpier or kind of cut you off in weird ways and make you look shorter in these jeans
8:51
If you want something more elevated, I recommend going for some puff sleeve tops
8:56
There are a lot of jersey tops that are more fitted style compared to caran puff sleeve tops
9:02
They're also really relaxed and lightweight so you won't feel as hot in them as well
9:07
I love Anne Taylor. They have one of the best collections of puff sleeve tops
9:10
that are jersey style that are fitted but they still feel relaxed if you're wearing a full-length
9:16
straight-leg jeans then you have a little bit more option of tops actually you can literally wear
9:22
oversized tops with these just because you just have a single straight leg which is completely
9:27
covering your legs so you have two different shapes that you can work with and create that
9:32
proportion contrast my favorite tops around this time to wear with straight-leg jeans are
9:38
oversized like dolman shirts which are more of loose fit so you kind of create that
9:44
proportion contrast with these full-length straight-legged jeans I also like linen shirts but you can wear oversized t-shirts as well with these
9:53
particular style of jeans and still look really chic which actually feel
9:58
comfortable as well as fun for summer the same rule actually applies for the
10:04
tapered or the narrow mom style straight-like jeans since This is more of a narrow style jeans You don really want to wear extremely fitted clothes because these jeans are meant to look more relaxed and more comfortable so you want to wear something which
10:18
is more comfortable with these particular jeans my favorite um tops are kind of oversized tops but i actually
10:27
like more of graphic teas around this time because it feels more fun and you can really play with
10:32
lots of colors with especially if you're wearing white jeans then you should definitely add a
10:38
pop-of-color with a fun summer color which is your favorite and go for footwear that kind of
10:43
complements the jeans or complements the top depending on how you like to wear you can also go for black
10:49
t-shirts um this is a perfect way to add black t-shirts to your summer outfit without feeling
10:55
like you're wearing all black um and they also look really flattering together now for black straight-like
11:02
jeans i feel like those are my date night uh jeans i typically love wearing them because
11:08
during the night time but if you're looking to wear them during the day add a bright color to that
11:13
particular jeans just because the jeans are really black and they are kind of full almost full length
11:20
they're not completely full length but they're almost full length they're covering most of your body
11:24
so adding a pop of color with something bright actually brightens up your entire outfit even if you're
11:31
wearing black jeans and they actually make the color pop out way more compared to if you're wearing blue
11:38
And I think that is why I also love wearing black jeans in summer because you can really wear any kind of bright color top with it and still do a date night look, which is perfect for the night time without feeling like you are going all black
11:52
