Are your light blue jean gears churning? Letโs add some fuel to the fire by fleshing out what items you own can actually help complete your look:
- Bulky knit sweaters
If you have any winter sweaters lying around that are knit, mesh or just wintery looking, their elegance can fit the light blue jean quality perfectly.
- Muscle tees
You read that right. Muscle tees, especially when black, complement the kindness of the light blue with its edgy contrast. Its juxtaposition is what makes the two stand out alone, together.
- Beanies
Any old beanie lying around can actually elevate your light blue jeans to look rather hipster and artsy. Donโt ask why it works โ just indulge!
- Rich-colored scarf/black scarf
It doesnโt take much for an outfit to come together for men, especially when you go just a little extra mile to show you care about your look. So, if you have a warm winter scarf that youโve neglected, this can be the very game-changer that makes your light blue jeans pop with a debonair galante thatโs rare to come by.
- Turtlenecks
Just like light blue jeans, turtlenecks are classic, traditional and spiffy-looking because of their vintage appeal. Putting the two together, itโs like sophistication fireworks.
If none of these ideas strike you, or if they do but you still have nothing of the sort, maybe itโs time you admit that a little shopping is to be done.
