India, Oct. 24 -- Skinny jeans may have had their moment, but straight-leg and wide-leg jeans have become two versatile options for building a modern denim wardrobe. Both can be styled with everyday basics, dressed up for brunch and worn across seasons. Yet, the difference in their silhouettes can completely change how an outfit looks and feels.

Personally, I lean towards wide-leg jeans. I love how they add oomph to an otherwise simple outfit, bring a touch of retro finesse to my wardrobe and create a silhouette that feels more intentional. When a pair fits well around the hips before flaring out towards the ankles, it can make even a basic top look considerably more stylish.

That does not mean straight-leg jeans have no place in my war...
