I get the comment "You're dressed so fancy" all the time. I often try to tone my appearance down with a pair of jeans. But, to be frank, I don't like jeans. I only own two pairs. Now, I know this makes me a freak. I realize that 99.9% of the world's population wears jeans on a daily basis, but I still don't like them. That being said, I realize the practicality and comfort a good pair of broken in jeans offers.
Like with trousers (and pretty much all clothing) there are definite rules you have to follow with jeans.
1- (This is possibly the most important on the list) Never too low. Very low-cut jeans are extremely tacky and vulgar. No one should have to see your under garments outside of your significant other and even then that's debatable.
2- Length is very important. I have one long pair of jeans and one shorter. You guessed it: longer for heels, shorter for flats.
3- Quality. If jeans are your thing, be sure to invest in good quality ones. Chloe makes some nice ones.
4- Color. Never too light or dark. A nice medium shade of navy is ideal. I abhor colored denim (i.e. white, black). This should go without saying, but no distressed or acid-washed.
5- Condition. Frayed ends, holes, and other issues that make jeans seem over-worn are tacky.
