Trouser Jeans

Today's post was a reader request from the lovely SJ and she would like some ideas for trouser jeans.  Well let's first talk about what a trouser jean is and what makes it so different than a normal pair.

A trouser jean is classified as just that for a reason.  It's a trouser.  That means it should have a wider waistband that should sit higher than a normal jean.  No low riders allowed here.  In addition the leg should be straight on the upper thighs without pulling that the midsection- these jeans do not need to fit like a glove, they show off your length not your waist size.  The pant should not taper at all down the leg, but if anything flare out just a touch at the ankle.  Also try to avoid back pockets, it makes the look so much more casual than it needs to be.

Banana Republic, Trouser dark wash, $49.99

Pretty much exactly what you want to be looking for.  Note the length comes to the top of the heel not the bottom.

Loft, Dark rinse modern trouser, $49 with code EXCLUSIVE

This jean has a larger sewn hem so it almost looks like a cuff.  And an amazing price.

Old Navy, Flirt wide leg trouser, $39.50

These jeans are fantastic because they're black!  Black denim is very hot right now.

Nordstrom, KUT Flare leg denim trouser, $49.90

Not only do these have a little more flare at the leg but they also have a little spandex in the material so they're super comfy.

That's my take for a good trouser jean.  Perfect for a nicer dinner date or casual Friday at work.  Just remember they're not going to fit like your Gap skinny jeans.

You guys, I have gotten no recipes for Friday Foodday.  I know you all cook.  I know it's good stuff.  Send it in to me so we can all enjoy it!

Be fabulous today!
