How to wear and NOT wear denim

Don't make a mini even mini-er by pairing with heels. (If you do opt for the short styles, pair them with flats to counterbalance the hem.)



Do try a fitted denim pencil skirt. It's just as sexy as a miniskirt but in a polished, uptown kind of way.

Don't let your denim dress you down: Had this girl traded her ratty skirt and fuchsia leggings for a crisp pair of cropped jeans, she'd be rocking a chic stripes-and-jeans combo.



Do find a style of jeans that works for you and stick with it--regardless of what's "in". Any pair of jeans can be easily updated with one or two trendy pieces, be it a cool army jacket or a bright bag.

Don't ignore one simple rule every woman should know (and this means you!): When wearing denim that is white, avoid anything too tight.



Do pull off white jeans (before and after Memorial Day, thank you very much) by pairing 'em with a darker color on top. Add a colorful accessory to make your whole outfit pop.

Don't forget that, despite popular opinion, denim does not go with everything. Example number one is this woman's confusing decision to pair a bias-cut Western skirt with a pink lace top.



Do try a classic A-line skirt in denim: The nipped-waist and just-below-the-knee hemline will flatter most figures, while the basic blue wash will go with just about every top you own.

Don't cover yourself head-to-toe with shredded holes. (What's OK? One--maybe two, tops--little funky tears on your favorite pairs of jeans.)



Do aim for that easy, all-American look: crisp white tee and standard blue jeans. Done.

Don't go for denim dresses with tie-dyed washes or loud details. Stick to a clean-cut silhouette that will always be chic.



Do add a fitted blazer to any ol' pair of jeans for an instantly pulled-together look.

Thanks!

Okay, I guess I shouldn't wear denim as I refuse to follow these foolish rules .

i disagree with this, when it compliments the body.

By the way, why does it seem as if the "don't" photos tend to feature heavier women? ...

Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you.

I think I wear my denim well....

Because us fat bitches should only wear burlap sacks.
