Frayed Jeans Trend – Do I dare?

Frayed Jeans Trend – Do I dare?

I am not trend driven at all. Well, I probably was when I was young, but certainly not now. I wear what I like and what I think suits me. Obviously, I get some help from the stylist daughter. Or rather she critiques and says yea or nay. Sometimes she says maybe.

I love to have a few pairs of jeans in my wardrobe. I prefer high-waisted as opposed to mid-rise, because they cover the thickening waist and not-as-flat-as-it-was tummy. I also like my denims to have a little give in them, in other words, elastane. It means they fit better, as well as being more comfortable. The pair in these photos ticks all the boxes. High-waisted and 1% elastane. But they are more trend driven than I usually go for.

I wanted something a little more suitable for summer, so instead of my usual dark wash denim (more flattering), I went for a lighter blue, but they are also frayed and flare out just below the calves. It is called a ‘kick-flare’ seemingly. What do you think?

I have styled them three different ways and would love to know your thoughts.

My first look has a holiday boho vibe with the black loose top, suitable as a cover-up over a swimsuit or bikini as you head from beach to local bar for a drink. I chose to put Clarks wedge sandals from last year with it and give me some much-needed height. And what do you think of the wonderful hat? This one is sturdy and flattering as well as giving protection from the rays. I just love the roomy bag, which is large enough to hold all you could possibly need for a day on the beach. The hat, bag and top are from Pia Rossini www.piarossini.com who specialise in top-quality, sophisticated, but affordable accessories.   Their site is well worth a visit.

The next look would take you walking or shopping. Yes, these jeans are comfortable enough to go walking. And I am talking miles here not a kilometre or two.  Here I have paired the jeans with a new pair of  runners from Lifestyle and a cream top from Zara in one photo and a navy cold-shoulder top in the other. I prefer the navy.

Finally, how to take the jeans from day to evening. I added some height with my oh so comfy heels from Clarks, a top from Zara (old) and a kimono from H&M (last year).  Some multi-stringed beads completed the look.

Oh, the jeans are Pieszak, a Danish label, which prides itself ‘with balancing comfort and fit with sophistication and sassy chic’ and I bought them in one of my favourite shops, Paula’s in Malahide. If you can’t get to Paula’s have a look at their website here www.pieszak.eu If you don’t fancy the trendy, frayed look they have plenty of other styles. Have a look. But remember we all need a few pairs of good jeans in our wardrobe.

    Hi there! You need to try Diane Gilman jeans….!you can purchase them on TVSN and they are specifically made for the “Baby” Boomers with a higher rise and spandex to stretch and “hold you in” . I own 10 pairs and wear them everyday and even on long flights. The Luxe jeans are my favorite!

    What goes around, comes around…..eventually. Remember the late 60’s when we spent ages pulling the threads out of our jeans for frayed edges, an inch or two long at least., and they only cost us about a fiver? We thought we were the bee’s knees!

    I love the jeans Hilda! I recently cut a few inches off my favorite boyfriend jeans because they were too long and I’m loving the frayed hem. All of your styling choices are beautiful, but my favorites are the boho and evening looks!❤️

    Great ways to style jeans! You look great in them. Frayed jeans immediately make casual outfits look up to date.

    http://www.pieszak.com/ does not take me to a shop. It takes me to site about a family in New York. I love your choice in tops, shoes, and bags. I would not be able to bring myself to wear frayed jeans. It just seems sad to me that people will go around with holes in their clothes. I associate that with poverty, not fashion. I found you through Facebook.

    Yay! You are rocking those jeans. Everyone thinks we are rule breakers but I guess since we made them, who better to break them! Thanks for joining the Ladies Who Link Up party! Peace!

Do you have a favourite mascara? I flit about fr Do you have a favourite mascara?

 I flit about from one product to another but @Maybelline is the brand I re-purchase on a regular basis.
Fun fact: One Maybelline mascara is sold every 7 seconds

Why? Because they are reasonably priced and they deliver #greatlashes

I had a paisley crimplene maxi way back in the70s. Still have it. Any of you remember crimplene? 

Anyway this dress brought me back in time. I cinched it in with a vintage  leather belt I have from 1979. 
Managed to keep it hidden from @courtneysmithstyle who I am joining in her #fashionablyfriday series.

I did wear it on a Friday a few weeks ago😂😂

I found it online @charisma_fashions_
a boutique in Charleville Co Cork. And there is more on the blog from this boutique. Affordable labels (some new to me) and wonderful accessories that will not break the bank. Shopping my wardrobe for the rest. 

Have a lovely Easter Monday everyone.

Jumper and jeans are dressing up for me at present Jumper and jeans are dressing up for me at present.  Jumper is Zara. Jeans are from @paulasmalahide.  Same as my last post. Reasonably priced and a great fit. 

 You may notice the @lilyobriens chocolates on the table.  Truly scrumptious. GG bought them for me because he knows how much I love them. And dark chocolate is good for me and is a mood enhancer. And we all need a little help at the moment. Trying to stay calm and positive but it is difficult.

Hope you all get out to enjoy St Patrick's Day in the expected good weather tomorrow. And stay safe!

Faux-leather is this month's theme with my 'Style Faux-leather is this month's theme with my 'Style Not Age' friends. I shopped my wardrobe with a biker‐style jacket @carraig_donn and 17 year old @diesel denims.

 I know that the current fashion is to wear these shorter than I have. But I prefer wearing them with heeled boots @carl_scarpa, just skimming the ground.
