As much as I adore my dark flare jeans and skinnies, with a new season, comes new denim!
Flares, culottes, and destroyed denim are holding strong for SS16, with released, frayed hems, and kick flare crops becoming mainstream.
One of my favorite pair of jeans right now, are my Current Elliott ‘cropped straight let out hem’ jeans (in destroyed, HERE | white, HERE).
You may recall, I purchased mine back in July 2015, at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
(note for sizing reference, I purchased these in my regular size 27)
A new trend at the time, I had to play around with them quite a bit, to figure out how to style them. I have owned straight leg jeans in the past, but never a cropped pair, and definitely not a pair with a released hem.
Since last summer, we have become great friends.
I have found, next to my Citizens ‘Emerson’ boyfriend jean, this pair has become my go-to.
Previously, if you wanted a pair, it was a bit hard to track one down. Now, this style can be found everywhere from Tory Burch to Target, in petite (TopShop) to Plus Size (See Below) – at every price!
For me, the $135.00 I paid, during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, has been worth every penny! I have now worn this jean, through all 4 seasons, which makes it a real winner!
Summer
with flip flops and a breezy tank.
Fall
with espadrilles and off the shoulder top.
Winter
Paired with ballet flats and a cozy mohair sweater,
booties and long cardigan.
Spring Transition
block heel loafers and fringe poncho.
Spring
Lace-up booties and printed boho blouse,
short booties and aztec jacquard cardigan (details, on this exact outfit, can be found in HERE, in a recent AskSuzanneBell What I Wore Outfit Post)
I love shoes, therefore a pant leg that shows off my shoes, is always a winner in my book!

Have any of you picked up a pair of released hem jeans?
Release hems can be found on many styles, but I find the straight leg is the easiest in terms of styling.
Here’s a post I came across, for DIY released hem, HERE
Excited to try, any of spring’s new denim trends?
Which if any, are you most drawn to?

Man, what a versatile pair of jeans! They go so well with such a variety of shoes! I don’t own any released hem jeans, but I love the way these look! I’m really wanting a pair of denim overalls lately- they just look so cozy and cute!

Darling, Dearest
I do love these jeans – they have become my go-to which says a lot as I am a lover of my boyfriend jeans! Super comfortable and can be worn day to night! Overalls are so fun, as well as the denim jumpsuits that are emerging! With denim looks so mainstream this season, I think we are going to be seeing loads of fun options to try out! Thanks for stopping by and dropping a line! Have a great weekend! Suzanne
Fabulous! I just got a pair of “let out hems” and I love them. (KUT from Nordstrom Rack … super comfy too). And totally digging those lace up sandals.
Thanks for linking up & happy Friday!
