Barrel Leg Denim: Yay or Nay?

The biggest denim trend of 2024? Why the barrel leg denim of course! Although at first glance a rather controversial denim style, in reality, it can be very flattering and easy to wear…

So, here is what you need to pull this denim style off according to yours truly:

First, I suggest opting for a heel in stead of flat shoe to wear with this jean style. Heels add a bit of a lift and tend to elongate your silhouette which is rater important, since barrel leg denim tends to add a lot of volume around your lower body.

Secondly, I suggest accentuating your waist. How, is entirely up to you: you can opt for a fitted top style (for this look I went with a fitted bodysuit) or you can tuck in a more voluminous top and accentuate your waist with a belt. What’s important is that your waist is clearly visible which prevents your outfit from looking too bulky and shapeless.

Thirdly, I suggest trying a few pairs of barrel leg jeans on, to finds the right pair for you. This denim trend comes in a variety of styles and lengths: in this post, I am wearing full length barrel leg denim which I personally really like, but a cropped length can also be very flattering to wear.
