Damn, denim – seriously, what’s more of a staple in a human’s wardrobe? Whether you lean towards a light-wash boyfriend fit or dark ultra-skinnies, Topshop‘s line of denim really has something for everyone. I picked my two faves out of their best-selling styles (Joni, Leigh, Jamie, Mom, Hayden) and styled them two ways – keep reading for the two looks.

The Joni: skin-tight, super high-waisted. In black of course. These are a literal STAPLE in my wardrobe. I have an extremely long torso and anything less than high-waisted looks very, very unflattering on me. These have enough stretch to be comfy (but not enough to be like those terrible “Brazilian jeans” that were all the rage like 10 years ago.) I styled with a basic black tee (here) knotted at the waist and a classic biker.

The Mom: with a vintage tapered leg, high waist and rigid denim. These add an interesting, quirky touch to essentially any outfit – be it an oversized button up or a simple tank. I like to throw these into an outfit with heels and a dressier top half (like this twill bomber) for an unexpected touch of cool.
