Stonewash Jeans for the Winter Months

According to the fashion industry it is already the spring. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it does not feel like springtime just yet! Regardless of the weather, retailers nationwide are rolling out their resort wear collections. Today it is my goal to teach you how to mix spring-like styles into your winter wardrobe, particularly stonewash jeans. Hear me out.

One of the easiest ways to “winter up” a look is to incorporate black. Whether it is in the form of a statement piece or an accent piece, it’ll darken up the mood of the ensemble. For example, white denim with black booties. Or, a blush dress with black stockings. If black is not your jam, consider other dark hues like red or navy. But color isn’t the only way to season-proof an outfit. Texture can have the same affect. Do you remember the burgundy romper from a couple of weeks ago? The fur vest and suede boots were all that it needed.

Today we feature, stonewash jeans commonly referred to as, “summer jeans.” With two key items, a blazer and printed tights, I will transform them into winter wearables. A classic blazer is suitable for wear all year round, but in this case it helps balance out the light hue on my lower half. Printed tights will provide added warmth as well as an edgy vibe. This layering technique will work with all pants, but it is particularly appealing with cropped and/or distressed denim. There is something about that peek-a-boo lace, fishnet, or diamond print.

When you live in San Francisco, you become a weather snob. Although it is a common misconception that it’s always cloudy in the Bay Area, I strongly disagree…90 % of the time it is 65 degrees and gorgeous. With that being said, anything under 65 we’re all bundled up in down jackets and anything over 65 we’re all complaining about the “heat!” So when a San Fran brat travels to Las Vegas, it’s only natural to think: stay cool!

Not every outfit for the strip has to be a racy one. If you’re going to bother packing jeans, do yourself a favor and make it a cropped pair. Style them with an airy top. In the ensemble below, I started out with a light weight beige shirt and a pair of denim shorts. As you can see in the photos below, the shirt features a surplice back, and it really did help keep me comfortable temperature-wise. During the evening hours, I swapped out the shorts for some distressed stonewashed cropped jeans. For shoes, I went with my fringe sandals and adorned myself my favorite “Ambi” gray-tone jewels and metallic clutch that you already saw in my last Lilly Pulitzer for Target post. If it’s not broken don’t fix it…same goes for your favorite accessories!

A special shoutout to The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas for providing me with a gorgeous background for some blog pics!
