Sexy jeans - day to night

9 replies

Arlanymor · 24/10/2024 18:56

I've got a two-day event coming up next month, which includes an evening social on. I will spend both days running around like a mad thing facilitating and there won't be time to change between the day event and the evening event.

I've lost some weight recently and my jeans are all starting to feel a bit like potato sacks, so I am looking for a nice pair of sexy jeans (I don't have a colour preference) that will go from day to night. We're in the charity third sector so most of us look fairly scruffy most of the time so I don't want to look too polished, but I am on a mission to look a more glamorous than usual because I really fancy one of the attendees I've got a fairly prominent role across the event.

I'm a curvy size 14/ 5' 7'' and plan to wear with heeled boots, haven't got as far as thinking about the top yet as am building the outfit using the jeans as a basis. Budget is under £100 as there is still more weight to go and hopefully will only be wearing them for the next few months... Any help gratefully received! 👖

A pair of dark wide leg jeans over heeled boots will make your legs look extra long.
I also think flared jeans can have a similar effect, but the wide leg is a bit more flattering I think.
The wide leg jeans will look good with a casual hoodie for during the day and then a more sleek top for the evening.
M&S do some lovely jeans in so many different styles. Good quality and not bad prices.

You need these: https://www.stories.com/en_gbp/clothing/jeans/flared/product.flared-jeans-blue.0664492017.html

They're style very badly on the site in my opinion and be warned: they are long! (I am 5ft 6 and they are about 1/2 inch on the floor with no heel) with heeled boots they look soooooo good.
Casual t shiry tucked in and smart cardigan for day time
Naice top of choice for evening

I’m the same measurements as you. Levis button ups with a nice silk blouse and wedge heels look amazing

I suppose what individuals find sexy is subjective. I feel sexy when I wear these jeans!

@HowDoYouSpellThat
I have these jeans too. I love them. I've had the first pair for nearly 3 years and still feel fabulous every time I wear them. Bought some more in different washes too.

Those little pockets at the front would drive me nuts!

Next have a whole selection of butt lift jeans called Lift Slim And Shape that come in all the blues and black in all the cuts.

Bootcuts over heeled boots will give you longer-looking legs a la Donatella Versace.

Thanks all! This is so, so helpful. Lots of food for thought - really appreciate it. I feel an online shopping trip coming on once pay day is here! Cheers! 🙌
