7 Tricks to Transitioning Your Boyfriend Jeans from Winter to Spring

There's that window of time in between winter and spring when you just can't figure the weather out. One minute it's starting to get warm and sunny outside and the next, the weather takes a step back and starts getting chilly.

Finding an outfit that works in fending off weather changes while looking spring-appropriate can be a real challenge. That said, we came up with this list on how to make your outfits look great for the new season while making sure you are ready for some slight drops in temperature. It features one staple: your trusty boyfriend jeans.

1. Wear a shirt with your boyfriend jeans and tie the hem to one side

Zendaya Sets Summer Cool in a White Marc by Marc Jacobs Vest

We were not surprised when we found out that Zendaya Coleman is now into designing clothes. She really has a great taste in fashion even if she's just 16. Our most recent sighting of her shows another of her chic styling. Take a look at her casual but very fashionable look at 7-Eleven's 86th birthday party held at The Revolve Clothing Malibu Beach House on July 9.

She was actually wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs outfit with Louboutin heels. Her white high-waist shorts definitely flaunted her legs, and we do love that they matched her vest well. She also wore a very striking paisley-print silk shirt, but the addition of the white vest simply made this ensemble so in style for summer.

Do you love wearing vests? While we normally see blue denims, wearing a white vest is a surefire way to keep your ensemble on trend this season.

Five Ways to Wear Ripped Jeans to Work (and Not Get Fired for It)

Before ripped jeans were associated with chic dressing, the only workplace where it was acceptable to dress yourself in tattered denim were probably those for intensive labor jobs, such as, err, coal mining. Nowadays, the lines for dressing up "seriously" for work through company dress codes and casual wear are becoming increasingly blurred as fashion-crazed employees continue to bend the rules and look appropriate enough to not be summoned to the boss' office. Ripped jeans happen to fall under the rule-bending category.

Ripped jeans are quite tricky to pull off because when paired with the wrong elements (yes, this includes even disheveled hair), the security guards may mistake you for a homeless person and drag you out of your cubicle and out onto the front curb of your workplace. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, but you get what I mean (assuming you at least wash your face and brush your teeth every morning).

We put together five different office looks to give those tattered jeans that polished finish that may even send your boss reaching for a pair of desk scissors to do her own pair in.

P.S. Dear readers in stricter professions, such as law and medicine, please don't take our word for it.

Meijia of Meijia S

There is nothing more grown up and more polished than a crisp button-down top that fits like a glove, albeit this look intends to come off as a little slouchy. The sunnies make this look absolutely sophisticated, but since it would be weird and douchey to wear sunglasses inside the office, substitute your pair with delicate silver or gold jewelry and an oversized watch. Do not forget to finish the ensemble with pointed-toe pumps. They will make sure the security guards are kept far, far away.

Get her look:

7 for All Mankind Josefina Jeans in Light Destroyed, $157.50 (before: $225) / Roberto Cavalli Floral Silk Shirt, $829.88 (before: $1,185.55) / Jimmy Choo Alicia Black Suede Pointy Toes, $550

Adriana of Fake Leather

If you can afford to look just a teeny bit more rugged in the office, go for a pair of black distressed denims and a biker jacket. Opt for a two-toned jacket, preferably in black and tan or any other neutral shade, with crisp lines for that glammed-up biker chick look. Round it up with gold jewelry and black suede heels to inject the look with sophistication.

Heliely of Heliely B

You can never go wrong with lace in the office. Lace, done in the right silhouette, has been associated with power dressing for women time and time again, whether it's a top, a dress, or a skirt. Not all lace will agree with tattered denim, however, so we advice you to reach for a pair of white distressed boyfriend jeans instead. Choose a pair of minimalist sandals (and maybe a pretty pedicure) to complete the look. A leopard clutch for that extra rawr factor is optional but highly recommended.

Anni of FashionHippieLoves

This look is all about contrasts - soften the ruggedness of a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans with the girliness of a flowy but structured peplum top. Choose a peplum top that complements the fit of your boyfriend pants, lest you want to have bulges in all the unsightly places. The lovely Valentino Rockstuds are perfect for polishing the look off because the pair in itself exudes contrast - the feminine blush color and pointed toes are balanced by the studded straps. Don't forget to throw in some chunky jewelry.

Dena of Style Limelight

Menswear lovers, this look will definitely delight you. Pick out a pair of white distressed jeans with fewer but more concentrated rips and throw on an oversized blazer with crisp lines and padded or embellished shoulders. Wearing a sheer cream top underneath will do wonders for the look as well. Pull the entire look together with a pair of beautiful oxfords for that chic menswear-don't-care look.

Get her look:

Demi Lovato Is Comfortable in Her Own Skin(ny Jeans)

In a world that is increasingly saturated with unattainable idealisms of beauty, social media platforms that promote narcissism, and accessible airbrushing and photo manipulation software, it is becoming equally harder to find celebrity role models that make one feel like it is perfectly okay to be comfortable in one's own skin. Demi Lovato, despite her troubled yet conquered past, is one of these rare celebrity role models.

Since making her strong comeback, Demi has been unapologetic about who she is because who she is - a talented and beautiful woman who embraces her natural curves wholeheartedly - is nothing to be apologetic for. In fact, her motto when it comes to dressing herself up has nothing to do with bouncing her self-image off from another person's, sharing that she dresses herself according to what makes her feel comfortable and beautiful. This is the exact styling mindset that all women should strive for.

Demi has gotten really good at choosing the right silhouettes that emphasize her physical assets, choosing to embrace instead of trying to conceal them. In the Los Angeles leg of The X Factor auditions, Demi chose a pair of very flattering and curve-hugging skinny jeans in a gorgeous gray shade, which she paired with a cotton-blend top and a pair of black pumps.

The popular 620 mid-rise skinny jeans by J Brand have five pockets and are mostly made of cotton. They have slight fading at the front, which gets slightly stronger at the back area, perhaps to emphasize the buttocks. The gray shade remains dark and solid throughout the lower limbs to give the illusion of skinnier ankles. Mid-rise jeans usually look best on those who have lengthy torsos.
