Lauren Boebert Is Finally Embracing A Denim Trend That Will Make Her Look Taller

Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has a lot of strong opinions, which she isn't afraid to share or, as the case may be, demonstrate, and that includes how she proverbially grips onto fashion styles that might not suit her. Just take a look at the outdated outfits we're begging Lauren Boebert to leave behind, such as the tight one-button blazer-over-dress combo she frequently wears on Capitol Hill. Or there's her insistence on wearing ankle-length skinny jeans on repeat.

Boebert, who is 5-feet tall, has worn skinny jeans for years, even when they felt stale in the late 2010s and early 2020s. But her skinnies-only era looks to be coming to an end. Thankfully, Boebert is finally embracing a denim trend that will make her look taller as she eases her talons off her go-to tighter denim, and that is none other than a pair of jeans with a bit of flare. Yes, Boebert has jumped on the bootcut bandwagon.

There are two reasons we'd love to see Lauren Boebert embrace a style other than the skinny jeans she wears on repeat. The first: Come on, mix it up a little! Like it or not, you're a public figure who thrusts herself in the spotlight, and wearing something different once in a while is appreciated. Second, a bootcut jean will help her look taller.

It's not that skinny jeans don't work on petite figures; it's just that flared jeans styles are your shortcut to longer-looking legs. One of the goals of fashion is to create harmony and balance in an outfit. Boot-cuts do just that, especially when paired with a heel. (Here's your guide to the perfect shoes to wear with flared jeans.) The longer denim profile with a substantial shoe creates a lengthened silhouette, giving the impression of added height. We suspect that anything that gives Boebert more stature will please her.
