Choosing a Style

Smaller pockets tend to have a cuter feel than bigger, bulkier pockets. In addition to this, smaller pockets around the bottom can be slimming. Small embellishments, however, can fill out the bottom a little bit, and may provide an extra cute flare.^{[1]XResearch source}

Opt for jeans with subtle prints for a cute look. If you're going for a cute look, printed jeans can be a great option. Tiny patterns do not overwhelm a look, but can add a little something extra. Look for jeans with small prints, like floral patterns and polka dots.^{[2]XResearch source}
- You can either pick jeans with patterns dotted around strategic places, like the knees or hips, or pick jeans with prints dotted throughout the jeans.

Distressed jeans are jeans with rips and tears around areas like the knees, pockets, and along the seams. These types of jeans can be cute and also give you a somewhat edgy, punk rock vibe.^{[3]XResearch source}

Try fitted or skinny jeans for a cute, formal look. If you want cute jeans for a more formal occasion, skinny or fitted jeans tend to give off a formal flare. In order to keep a formal vibe, go for solid-colored jeans over patterns and prints. While these jeans are a little plain on their own, pairing them with the right top and accessories can give off a cute vibe.^{[4]XResearch source}
- A somewhat unconventional color, if appropriate for the occasion, can help with the cute vibe. For example, try wearing something like pastel fitted jeans.
5
Go for curved seams to elongate your legs. Some jeans have curved seams that wind around the leg in a snake-like pattern. This can be a cute and unique style, especially for less formal occasions.^{[5]XResearch source}
- If you have shorter legs, curved seams can help stretch out your legs and make them look longer.

Pairing Your Jeans with a Top

1
Try the classic jeans and t-shirt look for casual outings. Jeans and a t-shirt is always a cute look, especially for informal occasions. Pair a cuter, informal type of jeans with a casual t-shirt for an event like a night out at the bars or game night at a friend's house.^{[6]XResearch source}
- For example, wear jeans with a floral pattern with a plain white t-shirt for a cute look.
- You can also wear a t-shirt with a cute vibe, such as a t-shirt with a cute graphic on it or a pattern like polka dots or stripes.
2
Pair baggy jeans with a sporty top for an athleisure look. For a casual, sporty look, put on a looser, baggier pair of jeans. Pair this with an athletic top, like a tank top or gym t-shirt, for a cute athleisure look for the day.^{[7]XResearch source}
- If you want to highlight your waist, even while wearing baggier jeans, use a belt to cinch the jeans around your waist.
High-waisted jeans can be worn with any type of cute top, formal or informal. You can pair them with a cute blouse or button-down, as well as a casual t-shirt. Tuck this shirt into your jeans for a cute look that flatters your waist.^{[8]XResearch source}
For a more formal look, go for lace or sparkles. These give off a cute vibe and can be paired with solid-colored, fitted jeans. This is a look you can wear to the office or a night on the town.^{[9]XResearch source}

Pair chunkier tops with fitted or skinny jeans. If you're wearing skinny jeans, this is a great opportunity to put on a cute, chunky top. The bulkier top will pair well with the slimmer jeans, as the two will balance each other out. If you have something like a cute sweater or longer turtleneck, this can be great to pair with skinny jeans.^{[10]XResearch source}
- For an added cute effect, try a sweater with a cute pattern like polkadots.
