Otherwise known as the boot-tuck trick, stuffing straight and baggy denim into knee boots is a look we're about to see a lot more of in 2020. At first glance, the bunched-up jeans look like they could be a mistake, but we promise it's totally a vibe—and Bella Hadid and tons of fashion insiders seem to agree.

Turn Up the Volume

This year, jeans became looser and looser, and that shows no signs of slowing down in 2020. To achieve the most forward look, we suggest cranking up the volume on your denim—the roomier, the better.

Go For the Ecru Wash

Tired of your standard blue jeans? Try out ecru washes instead. Look for off-white shades of ivory and cream that look especially stylish when worn with other neutral tones.

Throw on a Big Blazer

It's basic, but it's insanely chic. Take a cue from EmRata and throw on a structured blazer to literally any jeans outfit to give it a polished finish.

Go For Square-Toe Shoes

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but we disagree. Black skinny jeans (aka the "old dog") have been in our closets for forever, but when styled with of-the-moment square-toe boots à la Priyanka Chopra, they suddenly take on a brand-new feel.

Add a Printed Turtleneck

Jeans and a plain tee is great and all, but opting for a printed turtleneck is just as easy (and comfortable). Just look at Selena Gomez's casual ensemble, made much more interesting by her snakeskin-printed top.
