Is Your Closet a Denim Destination? Organize Your Jeans Like This
When you can easily shop your closet it becomes a source of inspiration. My closet is my favorite room in my house. My happy place is only occupied by pieces I love and categorized closet essentials, like jeans. If you organize your jeans like this too, you’ll have everything you need to shop your closet and make outfits you love.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
Whether you starting your outfit from the bottom up or searching for a jean style in your lookbook, organize your jeans by style. The leg shape or style determines what you should wear your jeans with and makes it easier to build outfits.
These aren’t the only summer shoe and jean combinations, but in my opinion, they are the best.
Straight Leg With Flats
Skinny Jeans With Ballet Flats
Classic Bootcut With Classic Heels
Cropped Bootcut Jeans With Statement Sandals
Wide Leg Flares With Platforms
Wide Leg Cropped With Block Heels
How Long Your Jeans Should Be
Most of us have way more than two pairs of jeans but it is nice it have at least one pair that looks good with any sandal or sneaker and another that works with all your heels. These are the jeans lengths to travel with too.
Keep Em Separated
If you have the space I recommend hanging your jeans on the top row of your closet where you can see them better. It also helps to hang the pocket facing out, so you can find the style you’re looking for fast.
If you don’t have the space you’re gonna have to fold.
1.Lay flat
2.Fold Ankles to knees
3. Fold the knees to the bottom of the rise or center crotch seam
4.Fold legs sides together with pocket facing up.
5. Finish with a square.

The Easy Way
If you shop for jeans online by looking at pictures and product titles you’re NOT going to find the best fit. Instead, use a soft tape measure to take two measurements.The most important is your rise.Most of us look the best with a rise that stops at our belly button or 1-2 finger widths below it. It also helps to know your inseam. What One brand calls cropped may be full-length on you. Once you know your numbers use the product descriptions on premium denim destination websites like Saks and Nordstrom to find your fit.
