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

This versatile look is great for unpredictable days. You can remove the knot of your shirt and tuck the hem in your boyfriend jeans if it gets cold out. Finish off the look with a pastel-colored oversized blazer to inject a spring vibe to your outfit.

Vintage Tee Lover? Grab Ashley Greene’s Rocking Shirt Now!


It seems like Kristen Stewart isn't the only Twilight actress with a vintage tee obsession. Ashley Greene has also been spotted numerous times wearing some sort of rugged vintage tee whenever she's out and about on an errand, headed to the gym, or even just to get her caffeine fix, and so on.



This time around, the 25-year-old actress was seen wearing a distressed skull-printed tee by CBGB & OMFUG while getting her smoothie fix in West Hollywood last Wednesday. Ashley looked like she just put on whatever was lying around in her closet but she did rock this vintage tee nevertheless.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We all know that Ashley is best friends with Vanessa Hudgens, and these besties are popular for their hippie flair. While Vanessa is an all-out hippie-chic in her ripped-jeans and vintage outfits, Ashley, on the other hand, is a hippie-meets-rocker type of girl. As proof, she showed up looking like a hippie babe in her plaid outfit, which consists of a pair of distressed denim shorts worn over some black tights, a white tank top paired with cowboy boots, and a navy plaid shirt she used as a cover-up. Ashley completed her look by sporting a red beanie hat that gave her outfit a pop of color!



What do you think of Ashley’s outfit, ladies? If you want to copy her hippie-meets-rocker style, then steal her look by wearing any of the following plaid shirts available at Revolve Clothing! You can choose to use the plaid shirt as a cover-up or as a top — whatever style you prefer, these plaid shirts are definitely a must in your wardrobe!
