Tania’s Tips for Wearing Jeans and Tops In Winter
- Texture matters. Ribbing, waffle knits, boucle, and pointelle instantly make jeans look more intentional.
- Necklines change the whole vibe. Crews feel classic, mock necks feel polished, and half zips give you flexibility in how casual or sporty you want to look.
- If it doesn’t feel comfortable sitting down, it won’t get worn. I’ve learned that the hard way.
- A great top does the heavy lifting so your jeans can stay on repeat.
