Jenna Lyons is a fashion powerhouse, but we saw her personality shine on the “Real Housewives of New York” reboot as she opened up about her life and showed a more vulnerable side. Her wardrobe made quite an impression on the show, and her unique style is one to emulate. She famously wore (and rocked) jeans to the “RHONY” Season 14 reunion, and as Season 15 draws to a close, we can’t wait to see her reunion look when it airs on January 28. Her current favorite denim styles are oversized, slouchy jeans, a timeless straight leg, and high-waisted cropped jeans. But she’s not a fan of stretchy jeans. “I really like stiff jeans, and I like them where they’re worn,” she says.
With her trendsetting style, we had to ask her for some fashion tips we could implement, and one of her best tricks is complementing opposites. “If I’m wearing jeans, I’ll probably wear something dressier on top. If I’m wearing one nice skirtI will probably wear something more stripped down. It’s like mixing patterns and materials,” she says. Lyons gives us more examples, like pairing something soft with something sharp; a shiny item with something flat, fluffy or matte; or combining tweed with something satin or shiny, so that there is a contrast.
She also points out that fit and style can be two different things. “Something might fit, but it might not necessarily have any style. I’ll buy a shirt or a sweater in a size extra small, or an oversize, because the proportions and how you can print them are very different. I don’t like to wear all slouchy head to toe and all skinny head to toe.”
In addition to her eye for chic fashion and timeless styling tips, we had to know what products she’s reviewed and loves to use often. Ahead, we ask Lyons about her current must-haves, including her go for red lipTata Harper skin care and more.
