denim for spring
Yes! It’s time to step it up from your trusty sweats! As we come out of our forced hibernation, reaching for the perfect jean can create that French girl attitude- the “I woke up like this” look!
High-waisted jeans are not for everyone, even if you adore the look. If you have a large bust, or are short-waisted, this might not be the style for you. If you wear it, try a blousy top rather than a super fitted one. Also, avoid cropped versions and wear a heel. Mid rise works better, even low rise if you aren’t concerned with your tummy.
Super skinny jeans are not in right now. In our opinion, they should only be wore by someone with a boyish figure, otherwise it is difficult to create a balanced look. If you love skinny jeans but are curvy, this issue can be fixed by tucking the jean into a tall boot, or wearing a chunky shoe, sneaker or bootie. You are trying to avoid the “V” -wide at waist and hip and super small at ankle (this is why you won’t see Alison wearing skinny jeans unless they are tucked in boots!).
NOTE: Order white jeans and cut off jean shorts early, they always sell out!
STYLIST TIP: When ordering white jeans, we recommend going one size up, or order two sizes- your regular go-to size, and one size up to compare! White jeans shouldn’t be worn super tight for the best look.

I have a curvy shape and I would love to see comparison pics of Alison wearing her go-to type jeans (I think she favors a slight flair from previous posts?), skinny jeans with a chunky shoe, and skinny jeans tucked in boots. Sorry, I'm a visual learner. Maybe even just an Insta Story? I follow y'all there.
Hey Lisa! We are so glad that you reached out. We will definitely post this on @thestylethatbindsus and/or @alisonbruhn Instagram. Thank you for the question!
