Cropped jeans are the perfect transition piece for spring. And just in time here are a few tips from us on how to wear them for work and play. If you work in casual office: pairing them with a tailored jacket, sleek tank, and toned down accessories will easily make them work appropriate. And for the weekends, what could be easier than cropped jeans, wedges and a light button up? For all those “are they warm or are they cold” days, cropped jeans are the simple answer!

One of our fave jeans wearing bloggers, Alicia Lund of Cheetah is the New Black, was sweet enough to offer some fun styling and denim advice. From skinny to wide leg, this blogger rocks it all fashionably, so read on to check out her insights below:
1. How would you describe your style and where do you look for inspiration?
My style is constantly evolving but it’s a mix of feminine and edgier pieces. I read a lot of blogs and magazines and am most inspired when I’m in New York City.
2. On your blog you wear your jeans for all sorts of occasions, but what’s your favorite way to style them? Boyfriend jeans are my favorite, they’re just so comfortable! I love to dress my most distressed pair up with heels and a blazer or pair them with a feminine blouse for juxtaposition.
3. Any tips on what to look for first when denim shopping (fit, style, color, etc) and why? When it comes to jean shopping you really just have to try them on. I know what denim brands and styles look best on me so I typically stick to those and experiment with various colors / patterns as the seasons change. Figure out what style is most flattering on you and buy it in two colors (ie: bell bottoms in a dark and lighter wash or skinny jeans in dark and a color etc.).
4. Now just for fun - which is worse: being over or underdressed, and why? Neither, I’m all for wearing what makes you feel most comfortable. There are certain events and occasions that I know I should definitely sway on the overdressed side but sometimes I just want to wear denim even if I know all of my girlfriends will be in dresses (I’ll just be sure to dress them up with heels!).

Today on the INDi blog, men’s style blogger Izzy Tuason of The Dandy Project stopped by to answer some basic guy style questions. Gentlemen, read on to learn about everything from wardrobe staples to finding great fitting jeans!
1. How would you describe your style and where do you find inspiration? I appreciate good tailoring, and will always be more dressed-up than the average guy at the office. I gravitate towards darkness, believe in quality over quantity, and never take fashion too seriously. Art and pop culture, emerging talent, and stylish people inspire me.
2. What are 3 things men should look for when shopping for jeans and pants in general? fit - The most flattering bottoms are those that generally skim the body, and hug it in all the right places.
fabric - Comfortable, with a little bit of give, and durable enough for it to look better with time.
color - Different colored jeans complement different looks and lifestyles. But a great pair in black is all I really need.
3. If you can narrow it down, what are the basics every guy should have in his wardrobe? I can’t, but I can tell you a few of my go-to items:
- great-fitting t-shirt in black and white
- black jeans
- black suit
- lightweight cashmere v-neck sweater
- a raw-edged black cashmere scarf
- the perfect white button-down
- a black jacket for each season: winter, spring, summer, and fall
- black lace-ups
- white sneakers
- a beautiful watch
4. Custom jeans can be an investment, any tips on how to wear denim in multiple situations? Wear your jeans everywhere and refrain from washing them; in time they will look and feel like second skin. Dress them up with good shoes and a proper jacket, and if they’re dark, weathered, and well-fitting, they will never look out of place.
5. Now just for fun - which is worse: being over or underdressed, and why? My mother always told me it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

White sneakers are the perfect fun and functional shoe to pair with our new colored jeans. Except we all know how hard they are to keep clean! After our white sneakers got a little beat up, we decided to experiment and see how difficult it was to clean them. Our findings? It couldn’t be easier to get your white sneakers back to being white! All you need is a gentle detergent, we used Woolite, and a sponge; it is that simple. Follow along with our step-by-step guide below and have your sneakers back in your closet rotation in no time!
