Short and Extra Jeans Looks That Work for Workdays and Weekends


Polished Look for Workday

Opt for short or extra-short straight-leg jeans in a neutral or light wash, and tuck in a button-down blouse in a soft or subtle colour to beautifully complement the darker jeans. Add a leather or suede jacket for warmth, and finish the look with boots or block heels for a stylish, polished vibe.

Relaxed look for Weekend Errands 

For a comfy yet stylish look, go for light-coloured short or extra-short jeans in a tapered cut or straight-leg style. Perfect for a coffee with friends or a lunch date with family, pair them with a laidback top like a graphic or printed tee, blouse, or long sleeve. Keep it casual but stylish with a crossbody bag and layered jewelry to complete the look
