What I Would Wear To: Styling Criss/Cross Denim
Denim with the criss/cross closure is very popular right now, and I am very here for this trend. Its such a fun little detail and gives your outfit some visual interest!
I am going to show you how I style my crossover denim in this post. I think its important for these jeans to be high waisted, and you want to criss cross to hit at a narrow part of your waist, that way the button and the criss/cross draw all the attention inward.
When selecting a top, I have a few tips. I will say that I typically keep my top options pretty simple when wearing this denim so I don’t draw too much attention away from the detail of the closure. I also either go for a cropped shirt or a bodysuit because these allow the crossover look to be highlighted.
Here are a few pairs of criss/cross jeans that I absolutely love. When I was unsure whether or not to commit to the trend, I went with the Abercrombie option because the price felt right to me for a trend I was still testing out. Now that I have figured out that this style works for me, I would love to get a pair of Agolde’s crossovers because I just love how their denim fits me.
White tees are a perfect staple to have in your wardrobe, period. Long sleeve bodysuits, tanks and cropped tees are all excellent options to own. They all happen to pair perfectly with this denim trend.

Here are a few similar styles in black!
I also previously paired my crisscross denim with a simple white tie waist blouse. Here are a few options I love.
If you are looking to brighten up your look a bit and wear a slightly bolder top, check out these options.
Shoes can make or break this look! If you are going for a day time look, I absolutely love pairing with a white sneaker that has a slightly bulkier shape or even a platform.
To make this look work for evening, these are my absolute favorite heel options.
