How to Style Side Split Jeans
If you love flares, these will be your new go-to.
A hybrid that brings the slimming power of a skinny and the fun of a flare...meet The Side Split! With a very literal split up the side of the outside seam, she’s carefree and kind of gossipy, revealing just enough to make her a perfect brunch/drinks/coffee break companion, down for any occasion.
Nanushka shirt, Jenny Bird earrings, 3x1 jean, Sarah Chloe ring, Tabitha Simmons shoe, Sézane bag.
Evoke a '70s power woman à la Diane Von Furstenburg with a leather wrap top and accessories in tonal shades to match. Have some fun with details, like choosing an ankle-strap pump to peek out from the side split for a playful touch to your office look.
This jean was born to party! Pile on the prints with a boot and turtleneck in the same tones (add a pop of color with your belt). The shoe will peek out from the split, so make sure it’s taller than the opening for seamless execution.
Tombolo shirt, Lele Sadoughi barrett, Tibi flip flops, 3x1 jeans
Play up the ease of this style by pairing it with a luxe flip flop and tropical print button down. With the ankle opening providing a bit of a breeze, we think it makes for the perfect travel jean. St. Tropez anyone?
