When it comes to curating a versatile wardrobe, there are basically three styles of denim you should keep in your closet. Having one of each gives you a great foundation from which to build.

1. A pair of dark skinnies in either a deep blue or black wash is perfect for an evening out. They also can add polish during the day.

2. Flares or bootcuts will pick up the slack were skinnies can’t. For those of you with casual offices, these are completely work appropriate with a tailored blouse or little blazer. They’re also more forgiving, if you’ve had a few brownies.

3. Boyfriend jeans are effortless and so comfortable. Casually cuffed, you can wear these to brunch or the park.
