Dark, Distressed, Bleached, Embroidered, Boyfriend, Bootleg, Cropped, Wide leg,7/8, Flared, Skinny………… it’s a confusing discussion and that’s not even mentioning the sheer no of denim brands out there.
If jeans are not your thing I urge you to reconsider these must-haves as jeans are now acceptable as workwear, and are allowed in most venues everywhere. The world has become more casual and denim jeans can be very classy indeed.
The first thing to say is: 1 pair of jeans is not enough, Sorry but it’s just too limiting: You need at the very minimum
1 pair of White / soft white
1 pair of med blue which work well, particularly in summer
1 pair of Dark Denim: These can be dressy, smart and worn as part of numerous outfit options both formally and casually.
We also have to consider if your shape is in proportion OR if you are short/long-legged, short/long-bodied high/low in the rise.
These are all measurements I can help you decipher so you can find those jeans, and remember unless your shape changes considerably these jeans will give you YEARS and YEARS of wear.
I’d say fashion shapes come and go, currently, the bootleg is growing in popularity as women remember just how flattering and elongating the shape is BUT again it’s what fashion cut suits your body shape. There will be more than one shape for you. We just need to ascertain which are best for you.
There are many designers working for 100s of Brands giving us choices in Cut, Treatments, and Embellishments. We all have a Style Personality and this will help you to decide the right pair for you. Let me tell you more about how your personality channels your choices in a 1 to 1 session.
Briefly, there are 6 main personality types and if for example, you are a City Chic lady you will love Dark Denim jeans and you will wear them with blazers / Jackets and more formal blouses.
So there is plenty to think about, but isn’t it such a lovely dilemma to have? With my knowledge and experience you can have your denim capsule collection sorted this season so that it works with all the key pieces in your closet.
It’s a well-known fact Denim can be a dirty process and damaging to the environment, so we need to trust that our chosen brands are committed to the environment, wherever in the world they are made.
I hope this has given you some food for thought. I really look forward to seeing you in the studio.
If you can only afford 1 item of clothing this season make it a pair of jeans. they can be worn all year round with so many of the clothes you already own.
