What looks best with skinny jeans?

The same question haunted me when i bought my pair of skinny jeans a month back. When i went home and tried to match my tees, tops and kurtas with the jeans, hardly ten of them looked fine. I felt it was time i changed my wardrobe but still i had to go on with my old clothes for few more days. I sat down and mentally shortlisted the kind of tops, shoes, bags and accessories for my pair of skinny. So, here goes it;

1. Ganjees, ganjees and more ganjees would look fab. If it's a long one, then simply tuck it in neatly and wear a belt either of the same colour as your ganjee or a colour contrasting to that. Like a brown ganjee could be worn with a yellow, orange, green, pink, red and even a blue belt. It has to be a sling bag for this kind of an attire, with a lot of beaded jewelery. Beads for your arms and your neck.

2. Shirts whether; cap sleeved, full sleeved, three quarter sleeved or sleeveless would give a formal and classy look if tucked in and graced with a belt. The colour of the belt obviously will depend on the occasion, say if it's a formal meeting then avoid too much contrast but do wear contrast if it's a casual event. Peep toes or Pump shoes can be worn to look elevated or wear ballet shoes to walk more comfortably. But please try and match the colour of your shoes with your belt. A medium sized bag will go well with your attire; you can match the colour of the bag with your belt and shoes, or you can go with an earthy shade.

3. Nowadays skinny jeans is a hot property at all the parties. If you are gonna be lounging or dancing then get hold of your regular spaghetti tops, halter necks, one shoulders, off shoulders, tube or some other extraordinary designer party wear tops. Combine a sleek thin shimmery sequinned belt, a pair of comfortable shoes like a pair of wedge heels or a sequinned pair of flat chappals and match a clutch bag with it.

And if you just stepping out for dinner then match a kaftan top, a mutton sleeved top or a plain tee with your jeans. Pep up your simple tee by wearing danglers, a pretty neckpiece, your watch and a bracelet. Carry a purse of the same colour of your top and put on a similar coloured belt as well. Either a pair of heels or a pair of fancy flat chappals will look nice on your feet.

4. For a day out at the beach, just fold your skinny jeans till the knees and you are all ready to go and hang out with the waves. Any plain tee would do except white or light coloured ones. Flip Flops, crocs or slip ons for your feet and for your shoulders a sling bag or a rucksack would do.

A kurta, a tunic top wouldn't look great with skinny jeans. Probably wearing a chunky belt over your short kurta will make it an acceptable apparel for skinny jeans.

Don't limit your creativity to this blog, go out and experiment with your clothes and trust me dressing up will be fun. Be innovative and add that difference to your wardrobe.

I think tunics look wonderful with skinny jeans! Cardigans are good too.
