Who says styling

Jeans have become wardrobe staples that never go out of season and they can fire up any look stylish, casual, laidback and in control as long as they are styled to complement the rest of the pieces paired with it.

Jeans are commonly owned as bottoms but it doesn't hurt to own a statement denim shirt (oversized makes more statement if you dare rock) as well (denim on denim rocks still), in a crazy skirt, dungaree, shorts and the list goes on. It's a signature style piece.

Though not trendy, jeans are more seen as timeless as they have been seamlessly transformed year in and out/for centuries to suit the existing style trend at any time. It's easiest one piece that almost everyone around the world own in common (no?)!

The greatest thing about owning a (at least a) pair of denim is the versatility as it can dressed up or down and works with almost any look one sets to achieve; it's about the most versatile piece of clothing anyone could own.
