A trend created and promoted by former Spice girl Victoria Beckham a few seasons ago, split jeans have conquered Instagram influencers, catwalks and ready-to-wear. Their dazzling success stems from their distinctive cut: by revealing the ankles and calf with this opening on the side or front, split jeans help to elongate the silhouette. Practical for petite women who don't want to wear heels, and for taller women who want to play up their slender waistline.

Thesmart way to wear women's split jeans, the latest trend in denim, is to use basic, feminine pieces from your wardrobe.

Which split jean is right for you?

Women's split jeans come in a range of styles and cuts to suit all body types, so you just have to find the one that suits you best.

For I-shaped figures, wide-split jeans add volume and structure to your waist. For a totally harmonious silhouette, choose equally voluminous pieces for the top: a bomber, a fur coat. For O-shaped silhouettes, we opt for high-waisted, regular-fit split jeans with a fluid, fitted blouse, which will enhance your curves. For V-shaped shapes, choose wide-leg jeans for women to counterbalance your imposing build, and a close-fitting, but not tight-fitting, sweater. For A shapes, straight slit jeans and a turtleneck sweater will balance out your silhouette. For X and 8 silhouettes, all women's slit jeans are suitable, but if you're a luscious X, just avoid skinny and slim jeans that risk bulging your generous curves.

What accessories go with women's split jeans?

Women's split jeans arethe star piece, so don't drown out your silhouette with overly imposing accessories. Choose elegant, feminine shoes from your wardrobe that emphasize the rock and sexy side of the slit. You can dare to wear pumps, strappy sandals, wedges or transparent sandals, all of which are very much in vogue. These will complement the slender look of the slit. For the cool and relaxed, we opt for trendy plain platform sneakers that will slightly enlarge the slit while remaining very comfortable. If you're wearing slit jeans in winter, short or mid-length coats are a priority, playing on the layered lines of the garments.

For jewelry, the rule is similar, although you can be a little more extravagant with trendy jewels such as large, flashy chains, fake piercings..

As far as handbags are concerned, we turn to trendy, elegant handbags like purse bags, quilted clutches and woven clutches.
