Ladies Jeans – A Fashion Staple in Every Woman’s Closet

Posted on 05. May, 2010 by denimlover.

Denim jeans are a staple in every woman’s closet because they are one of the most versatile and popular items of clothing. A good pair of jeans can be worn with a sweatshirt and tennis shoes or dressed up with heels and a blouse. Jeans are also one of the more stylish options for days when you need to head from a casual day in the office to looking great on an evening date.

Most women don’t just go to the store and purchase a pair of denim jeans these days. This is an item that is shopped for seriously since there are so many different styles.

First Thing’s First- The Right Fit

What type of ladies jeans any given woman purchases depends largely on her shape and what type of fit she feels most comfortable in. Women who are very slender and tall without a lot of curves can manage slim fit and straight leg jeans nicely. Those with a bit more curve tend to do better in a nice boot cut or boyfriend style jeans. Even the seemingly less forgiving styles like the skinny jeans can look amazing on a woman with any type of body.

Many women feel comfortable in a tighter fitting jean that is made from stretchy material. Skinny jeans are usually made in this fashion with tightly tapered bottoms and material that is meant to be worn skin-tight. There are different styles of skinny jeans, with the tightest variety being designated for women or men with the tall, slender body type.

Skinny jeans are notably stylish yet not always the most comfortable thing to wear. Hence the trends and fluctuation of denim popularity- styles comes and go and with it new fabrics, styles, and ways to wear jeans.

A classical boot cut jean with slightly widened legs is a popular choice for most women because they can be purchased in a different styles and they tend to flatter women of all shapes and sizes. Larger sized pockets are flattering to women who want to highlight their rear ends while stylish fading and other decorative details are often added to set higher end jeans apart from low budget jeans.

Most women go for a fit that is tailored to their body’s natural shape. Many designer clothing lines are now coming out with woman’s jeans made just for particular shapes and they are becoming the most popular trend yet. These ‘made to fit’ and super tailored jeans are super desirable because they deliver the perfect fit for every woman- imagine; no more trying on jeans that don’t fit… ever again!

Getting The Right Look Down to a Science

Fit is extremely important, but it is often the second thing a woman thinks of when she shops for jeans. It is of course the outer style that first grabs a woman’s attention. Current trends are focusing on unique fade patterns and crisp, clean lines, though some women are still favoring the worn-in, distressed style that was popular a few years back.

Denim jeans can be classically styled to deliver a sophisticated, upscale look or completely rocked out with fading and factory made rips and tears to give that rock-n-roll vibe. Most women will own a variety of styles to accommodate different occasions.

High fashion and ladies designer jeans have made such a statement that women now want something that has been immaculately tailored and designed to fit her personal body type, or that has very unique stylish features. Fortunately denim designers are on top of this and offer solutions for every woman and man. These days, denim jeans are more of a fashion statement than ever and we are quite sure this fashion will be here forever.

Making Denim Shorts Look Classy

Posted on 03. May, 2010 by denimlover.

Denim Shorts can be a hit or miss depending on your body type and how you wear them. If you wear them too short then they can look unappealing, if you were them too tight, then they are uncomfortable. Making Denim Shorts look classy and comfortable is the goal you want to attain.

When you first start looking for the perfect pair of denim jean shorts, you want to figure out which area of your body you wish to highlight and which areas you would like to be more conservative with; your legs, your bottom, your waist, etc. If you are very thin, you might want to look at the rolled style or short frayed jean shorts that still give you a little room to wiggle in and are about 2-4 inches in length- try to avoid anything super tight- thin women can get away wearing short, short, but too tight draws attention to any area that might be a tad unappealing and it loses any sexy factor the shorts have.

Larger women usually want to have ample coverage in the rear, at the same time giving them sexy curves and comfort. Look for a pair of dark jeans with a bit of a longer length. Avoid super low cut denim shorts and don’t try to squeeze into something that is too tight- denim shorts are not as forgiving as jeans are. Try a nice boyfriend style or rolled cut as the Gap jean shorts shown above.

Overall making denim shorts look classy are a matter of how and what you wear with them as well. Darker jean shorts and white jean shorts are given priority as far as color and if the shorts are too short you can always add leggings to them- cropped black leggings look perfect under denim shorts. If you are wearing baggy shorts opt for a tight top and cute belt, if you are wearing short, shorts or tighter shorts then opt for a cute long flowing top or a nice shirt with a jacket thrown over it to balance the look.

No matter what you pair of jeans you actually do go with, the number one factor that goes into making denim shorts look classy is your attitude- yep, how you feel in your denim shorts, how you exude your confidence, and how your body works with the fabric really makes a world of difference. Always wear something that you love- never buy something that you just say, “eh… these are O.K. they will work”… buy something that makes you go… “Damn, I look and feel awesome!” It changes the way others look at you when you are happy in your clothes and it will change you as well- look classy, feel classy, make your own style and be happy in your denim.

Casual and Comfortable Denim Style- The Cropped Jeans

Posted on 30. Apr, 2010 by denimlover.

Denim Designers are always starting new trends in fashion and many times we see these new styles on celebrities before they even hit the stores – mainly because designers know exactly where to go when showcasing their new collections- celebrities! We love to see what the newest celebrity style and what the hottest celebs are wearing, this time it may be a bit surprising, however.
Cropped jeans or pants that are a tad on the shorter side are in style, and in a big way. The lengths range anywhere from pants that reach right at ankle length, to slightly higher, and then rolled up casually even a bit higher. They also range in styles from skinny jeans, to straight leg, to casual baggy jeans; each offering a different appeal.

This fashion trend makes me laugh a bit as I used to get teased if I wore pants a tad too short when I was young (my grandpa used to call them floods), but now… its perfectly fine! The great thing about this style is really you get two looks in one. You can wear the jeans straight with a cute pair of flats- just like Nicole Scherzinger (the lead signer of the Pussy Cat Dolls) or you can roll them up and give them a bit more of a casual feel- perfect for a weekend away at the beach house, biking around town, or strolling through the park. These jeans are truly practical right now and make a fun personality statement.

This Season’s Denim Clothing Trend is… Anything Goes!

Posted on 23. Apr, 2010 by denimlover.

The denim trends for 2010 are hotter than ever. Denim has long been a trendy favorite for the fashionable, but this season will introduce a few surprises. When it comes to the 2010 season, everything goes. People are wearing denim in many different ways this season. Denim is no longer restricted this spring or summer. With the right know how, you can wear denim in any form, shape or color.

Faux Pas or Hot?

Jeans come and jeans go. In the past, during these different fashion transitions, you had to follow the lastest magazines to know if you were in style or not. Jeans were no exception. Should they be low or high risers? Should you wear them baggy or skin tight? For the 2010 spring season just about anything goes. However you choose to wear your jeans will be considered fashionable. If you want to wear them torn and ripped, skinny, slouchy or in a slimming silhouette form, there are plenty of options.

Making a Comeback

MiH is a British brand of jean that is making a comeback with stars like Rihanna and Jessica Alba sporting their many different styles. What is considered surprising about this particular brand of jean is that it is considered to be a retro style jean. One of the first celebrities to sport these jeans was Farrah Fawcett. They were fashionable then and they are fashionable now. You just have to use them to fit into your particular style.

This brand of jean has selections that are made for everyone and not just models. There are cuts and rises that fit every different body type. There was a time that no one wanted to wear high cut or high rise jeans. These jeans were associated with older women and were called “mommy jeans.” However, this is no longer the viewpoint today. Whatever type of denim cut suits your purpose for comfort and style is considered fashionable for the 2010 season. The MiH brand has many different styles and rises to choose from that will flatter everyone.

Particular Trends

The trend is to let go and wear what makes you happy. Nothing is a faux pas; however, there are a few trends that are slowly emerging. Frayed short shorts, edgy denim jackets are big, sexy white jeans are a popular summer trend, and loose fitting boyfriend jeans (Genetic Denim jeans shown in photo) are still very fashionable, but they are even more desirable in bleached or distressed denim for the 2010 spring season. Unlike other seasons where torn and ripped denim have been worn, this season introduces a surprising twist and the sexier you can be in your torn and bleached jeans the better. Match your jeans with a hot belt and some sassy shoes and you are set.

Denim is a staple, but change it up a little. Go against the trends of the past. Instead of blue denim try a light or white denim. This is a very hot trend of the 2010 spring season. Pair white jeans with a white tee shirt and colorful accessories. Or, go for another trend this season and wear denim on denim. This has also been considered a faux pas in the past, but can wear your denim however you want to wear it. Be creative. If you mess up, just start over again. When it comes to denim, nothing will be considered unfashionable this season.
