Three points to avoid mistakes in selecting wide denim

When choosing wide denim, it is important to select a wide denim that suits your style and body shape. Find the perfect wide denim for you by following these three points to avoid making mistakes. Understanding the three elements of silhouette, material, and color will broaden your coordination and increase your satisfaction with your outfits.

Impression changes with silhouette: Find the wide denim that suits you!

Wide denim comes in three main silhouettes: tapered, straight, and flared.

The tapered silhouette is roomy from the waist to the knees and tapers slightly toward the hem. The straight silhouette is the same thickness and falls straight down to the hem. The flared silhouette widens toward the hem.

The wide straight denim falls naturally to the hem, which contrasts well with the black parka.

This straight style is easy to balance and recommended for beginners.

The trick to choosing a silhouette that suits you is to first objectively understand your body shape. For example, if you have a stocky body shape, choose a tapered type for a well-balanced impression.

If you are slender, you can enjoy styling with a sense of presence with straight or flared styles.

Also, be sure to check the size when trying on the garments and choose ones that are not too tight around the waist or too loose.

Seasonal sensation through the material: Types and characteristics of denim fabrics

When choosing wide denim, the texture of the material is also an important point.

Denim fabrics include "rigid denim," "stretch denim," and "vintage denim," each of which has a different comfort and appearance.

Rigid denim is a hard, non-stretchable fabric that is highly durable and conforms to one's body the more one wears it. It has an attractive washed-out texture and is recommended for those who want to enjoy a vintage-like atmosphere.

Color selection for wide denim is another important point that influences the range of coordination. The standard "indigo blue" is easy to match with a variety of tops, and is recommended for those who are new to wide denim.

How to match with tops: The golden ratio for a good balance

There are two main styles of matching wide denim with tops: "crisp" and "loose.

A simple styling can be seen with a gray check shirt and wide denim. As you can see, a simple top goes well with wide denim for an easy-to-balance look.

The key to choosing a top is to choose one that has a well-defined shoulder line so that the upper half of the body does not look sloppy. For example, when wearing an oversized T-shirt,Shoulder widthshould be appropriate for your size.

Another important technique is to tuck tops in and out. Full tucking in can create a leg-lengthening effect, and styling with only a portion tucked in, such as front-in or side-in, also creates a stylish look.

The length of the top also affects the overall balance. In general, wide denim often looks more balanced with tops that end around the waist or at about mid-thigh length.

Fashionable feet: Selecting shoes that go with wide denim

The choice of shoes for the feet greatly affects the impression of wide denim coordination.

It is important to choose shoes that match pants with a thicker silhouette, taking the overall balance into consideration.

Sneakers" go well with wide denim, especially voluminous dado sneakers and chunky-soled sneakers, which are easily balanced with the silhouette of wide denim. They give a casual look and are perfect for everyday use.

Boots" are another item that goes well with wide denim. Choose work boots or Chelsea boots with a solid shape to contrast with the hem of the wide denim and give a stylish impression.

Leather shoes such as "loafers" and "deck shoes" are recommended when you want to wear wide denim with a beautiful look. In particular, rolling up the hem to show the ankle will give you a loose and sophisticated look.

For example, bright denim should be matched with brightCOLORshoes for lighter denim, and darker shoes for darker denim.COLORshoes for darker denim to create a unified look. The shape of the shoes is also important, as shoes that are too thin tend to throw off the balance.

Up a notch with accessories: Techniques for creating a cozy look

To make a wide denim coordinate look more unique and fashionable, the use of accessories is also essential.

By incorporating the right accessories, even a simple coordinate can be transformed into an advanced, fashionable look.

A belt is an important item that adds an accent to the waist area of wide denim. Especially when tucking in the top, a belt with a strong presence will play a leading role in the coordination. Choosing a leather belt, woven belt, or other belt with a sense of material will give your outfit a more particular look.

Bags" are another important accessory. If you want to take advantage of the casual look of wide denim, a canvas tote bag or backpack is recommended. On the other hand, if you want to dress up your look, a leather shoulder bag or handbag will give you a contrasting styling.

Hats" have the effect of drawing the eye to the face and help balance the overall look. Choose a cap, bucket hat, knit hat, etc., according to the season and your taste.

The key to using accessories lies in moderation. Incorporating too many accessories tends to create a cluttered look. Basically, limit the number of accessories to two or three, and choose items that are particular about them to make them look stylish. It is also effective to use accessories to unify the overall atmosphere. For example, casual coordination should be matched with accessories with a casual taste, with an eye toward consistency of taste.

Wide denim can be a year-round item by changing the way it is worn depending on the season or scene.

Here we introduce wide denim coordinates for each season: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Let's maximize the appeal of wide denim by styling it in a way that makes the most of its seasonal characteristics.

Spring wide denim coordinate: A light and fresh look

Spring is the season to free yourself from heavy winter outfits.

A light and fresh look is recommended for wide denim as well. For spring wide denim coordination, incorporate items in brighter colors and lighter materials to complete the seasonal styling.

As an example of spring coordination, we recommend wearing light blue wide denim with a white T-shirt and light gray cardigan. White sneakers on the feet add a refreshing touch, completing the light, spring-like coordination.

Another recommended style is to wear indigo blue wide denim with a beige linen shirt. By combining items with different material textures, you can create an expressive, spring-like coordination. For the feet, leather shoes such as loafers will give a casual yet classy impression.

Another winter coordinate combines black wide denim with a white knit and a beige chester coat. The beautiful Chester coat contrasts well with the casual wide denim, creating a sophisticated winter look. For footwear, use leather boots or thick-soled shoes to give the look a heavy, wintery feel.

Avoid looking tacky! Points to keep in mind when wearing wide denim

Wide denim is an item that has the risk of looking tacky depending on how it is worn. Here we introduce some common mistakes in wide denim coordination and techniques to avoid them. By following these tips, you can make wide denim look fashionable and trendy.

The first and most important factor is size. As the name suggests, wide denim is characterized by its wide silhouette, but that does not mean that you should simply choose a large size. Choose a size that fits you, especially around the waist, and wear them at the waist to make them look stylish. If it is difficult to wear them at the waist, utilize a belt to secure them in the proper position.

The next thing to keep in mind is "overall body balance. Balance between tops and bottoms is the basis of a stylish coordinate. Consider the size of the wide denim and tops to create a good silhouette for the entire body. In general, it is easier to achieve balance by wearing a compact top when wearing wide denim casually and a slightly roomy top when wearing it beautifully.

COLORThe combination of the two is also an important point. Matching dark wide denim with a dark top tends to give a heavy overall impression. By creating a contrast between light and dark, you can achieve a crisp styling. For example, a dark blue wide denim with a light top such as white or beige will create a well-balanced look.

Also, a mistake in "length" can cause a dowdy look. If the length of wide denim is too long, the hem will drag on the floor and look untidy. Conversely, if it is too short, it may look unbalanced. In general, the length should be just enough to cover the instep of the shoes or just enough to show the ankles for a balanced look. When hemming, it is important to try them on to determine the appropriate length.

Another factor that can make you look tacky is excessive use of accessories. Too many accessories, bags, hats, and other small items can create a cluttered impression. In a wide denim coordinate, limit the number of accessories to two or three, aiming for a simple yet sophisticated look.

Finally, be careful not to "ignore TPO. Wide denim is a casual item, so it is not suitable for formal occasions. Be sure to dress appropriately for the occasion. When worn as business casual wear, it is important to maintain a good balance, for example, by wearing a beautiful top.
