Hello Fashion dolls,
It's finally Fall season but if your in LA it's still very hot here and that's odd but enjoyable LOL, nonetheless it's still the season for cute dresses, skirts and shorts with knee high boots. Denim is a trending style for whats supposed to be a colder time of the year where wearing versus styling denim makes a huge difference in how you will look. Finding the perfect pair of jeans from fit to wash can be challenging no matter what size you may wear and today I will give you a few tips on how to find the right jeans for you and yes you can just tailor them to fit perfectly but knowing how to pick the perfect pair of jeans is a talent not many people have LOL.
Denim can be styled in various ways because there are such a thing as dressy jeans and you can also style up a casual pair.
Jeans come in an overwhelming variety of different colors and if you believe that one single pair of jeans is enough, I recommend choosing the shade referred to as indigo becauase it's a traditional denim shade.
The denim wash has a impact on the appearance, color and softness of your jeans. For example a high-grade wash will give your jeans that lived in look, they wont stretch and the color will remain crisp. Think about your current wardrobe, because your denim has to coordinate with the rest of your closet and lifestyle. For example, darker shades like ink blue and black are workplace friendly, while on the other hand lighter shades are suitable for leisure time.
How do you find a flattering fit for your body shape?
If you don't know what your body shape is these tips can be used for all body types. But if you would like to find your body shape, let me know in the comments and I can do a part two and talk a little bit about finding out your body type.
There are many mistakes women make when shopping for jeans. But one of the most common is finding quality denim fabric, however theres no one specific element to identify a good quality pair of jeans.
Additionally, what we can touch and feel are key elements to quality denim, so look for something comfortable and easier to wear but durable. Good quality jeans are made from strong heavy weighted denim, with ranges that can vary from 9-16 oz.
Summer lightweight jeans are usually in the lower range of 9-10 oz, but a year round pair is recommended 11-12 oz. High thread count is a sign of better quality fabric just like with your bedsheets. Be sure there is at least 90% cotton in the denim fabric and no more than 2% spandex or lycra.
Details don't lie look for rivets which are tiny metal round things on the pockets to give the jeans more support to hold together. Bar tacks, tight zig zag stitches that reinforce the pants and the best place to check are at the top corners of the pockets, belt loops and at slit openings. Buttons & zipper, secured buttons and well attatched zippers.
