Hi all,

On Saturday, August 11th, I had the amazing opportunity of hosting an event with Express at their Queen Center Mall location and it was a super fun experience. The event was centered around denim, and all the different designs, washes and trims they have. Guests were able to come in, talk all things denim and do a scratch off to win great prizes, including % off their purchase, gift cards and more!

Express Denim

I'm a big fan of Express' denim options, as you have likely seen on my Instagram as of late. And that's because they offer all sorts of designs that take all body sizes into account - tall, short, doesn't matter! So here are four that you should look into:

Express Mid Rise Ripped Skinny Jean

This pair you see me wearing here with my dog is one of my favorites. I'm a big fan of these casual ripped jeans. While casual and non-work friendly because of the ripped areas, they're still perfect to wear out at night. I particularly love how the ankle-length cut allows you to still showcase a good pair of heels. When wearing these jeans, you have the choice of going for a tighter top, which is great for date night or going out. Or, you can opt to go more casual in nature with a loose button-down shirt, or since Fall is around the corner, maybe an oversized knit or t-shirt + blazer combo. Here, I opted for this fun pink gingham top.

Express Dark Wash Skinny Jeans

This other pair I wore near the Brooklyn Bridge, is a bit dressier in nature given the wash and more classic design. Like all classic jeans, they can be dressed up or down as you see fit. Most of the ideas that I described above for the ripped jeans work here too. However, unlike the ripped pair, these are also perfect for casual Fridays at the office or the office in general if you have a more relaxed dress code. For this look, I paired the jeans with this fun striped halter top.

Express Straight-Leg or Bootcut Jeans

If skinny jeans are not your thing, there are other great options for you to try if you're in the market for a new pair of denim. For example, I'm a big fan also of a straight-leg or bootcut design like this one. As opposed to narrowing at the ankle like the skinny jeans, they're wide or more straight, creating a more flattering figure for the leg.

Express High Waisted Flare Jeans

Another big favorite of mine are high waisted jeans - you've seen me wearing similar pairs before. High-waisted jeans do a few things very very well. First of all, they hide everything - love handles, love in the tummy, etc. Plus, with the right top, they give the illusion of much longer legs and thus a slimming figure. The flare design on these, for example, also help in the creation of a slimmer figure.

Which pair do you think is perfect for you? Let me know in the comments below, and don't forget to hit like below!
