Jeans capsule question - YouLookFab Forum

I started going through my maternity clothes and I'm trying to fill some wardrobe holes. I'll probably have some more posts after I get a handle on the skirts and dress, but for now I have jeans questions that I'm hoping you guys can help me out with.

I found 3 pairs of jeans. One is too short and will be purged, one is a nice pair of dark-wash boot cuts, and one is a pair of straight legs that are the right length, but style-wise sort of meh (pic #1).

I'm thinking I need at least one more pair of jeans and was thinking they should be skinnies. I'm wondering if three pairs will be enough. I don't wear jeans much in the summer except for casual Fridays at work, the occasional night out and for gear-like situations such as camping. The meh pair can be for camping and my parents cabin, and the other two for nicer occasions. Second question is whether the skinnies should be blue or colored. Thoughts? Ideas? Am I on the right track here?

Thanks for helping!

Sara, since you wear coloured jeans so well, I am wondering about coloured for the extra pair. Especially for summer. A long tunic type top over skinnies would be a great FFBO for evenings and they would probably also be lighter weight than conventional denim. But what are your savable (or wearable) tops like? That might determine the answer.

Suz, I haven't gone through the tops yet. My other kids were both born in Feb so I never needed many maternity tops for summer. However, when I unpacked there was a pretty big stack of short-sleeved tops. I think the majority of them were given to me by others and I never really looked through them - just stuck them in a box in case I needed them in the future. So I'm not sure about sizes and styles. I started with bottoms last weekend since there aren't as many and that chore seemed less overwhelming. I'm going to start going through the tops in the next day or so.

I hear you! Hopefully you'll have some "regular" tops that will work for quite a while as well.

I was also going to suggest a coloured jean, or maybe white jeans, or even a patterned jean if you think you would get enough wear out of that.

Big congratulations, by the way!

Congratulations! I find skinnies to be the most versatile and they also work well with more voluminous tops. I would want at least one white pair as well as blue personally. You look great!

Thanks! I'm going to put white skinnies on my shopping list, but I know they might be hard to find. I had a tough time finding my regular white skinnies because I didn't want a thin denim that would show through.

Oh, that is true, unfortunately. I found that some regular low-rise ones I had worked pretty well for a long while (not zipping them, of course) but by the third trimester obviously that wasn't working anymore. I noticed ASOS is selling some. Maybe worth a try?

My vote is for colour for the skinnies. And neon pink sneakers or something with the *men* jeans, lol.
