There are not so many people who are not wearing jeans nowadays. Jeans are appropriate for the party, countryside and of course for everyday use. Variety of fabrics allows to make jeans that you can wear in the restaurant or any ceremony. Different fashions were popular long ago and they stay popular nowadays. But though there is a great variety of jeans, it is still very difficult to choose comfortable and original model. Besides, the fashion is constantly changing, but you always want to have stylish clothing.
Jeans color and fashion
A lot of people first of all decide, what color and fashion they want. Jeans should not only suit to other garments, but be practical, and correspond to weather. And of course, you should like the color. Men are often conservative, they usually choose black, dark blue and grey jeans. Women can easily buy green, red or yellow jeans to attract attention, emphasizing their personality. But you should remember that dark jeans make you figure look slim, light ones – make you visually bigger.
Besides, you can correct you figure with a help of suitable jeans. Women are especially interested in this aspect, while men are not so worried about their figure. That’s why you should choose such jeans that will emphasize one part of the body and hide the disadvantages of the other.
Straight jeans are the classic ones. They don’t have anything bright, but nevertheless they are always very popular. Everything is simple and austere. As straight jeans suit to everybody, they can become a good choice for everyday use.
Narrow jeans can be recommended to the owners of slim figures. You have nothing to hide, and close clothing is aimed to attract attention to thighs and legs. If you don’t feel comfortable in narrow jeans, you may try more elastic variant – stretch. These jeans are softer, and repeat the lines of the body. Narrow jeans look good on women who have straight slim legs (they will even seem longer). If you think that they will emphasize wide thighs, you can cover them with long sweater.
Wide jeans are popular not only among those who like Hip-Hop and R’n’B. This cut allows to hide some disadvantages of the figure. Wide jeans are for those who want to hide wide pelvis and legs. Wide jeans that narrow downwards, are appropriate if you have broad shoulders. It isn’t a problem for men, but it is just necessary for some women. But you should know that you’ll look higher in these jeans.
Bell-bottomed jeans are not suitable for many people. Their peculiarity is narrowing to the knees and widening to the edge. Slim figure will look only better in bell-bottomed jeans. But we don’t recommend these jeans to those who have broad thighs.
Breeches, or in other words, short jeans, are appropriate as a summer variant. They can be narrow, as well as wide, narrowed to the edge.
Jeans with lowered waist are very popular among young girls. Their advantage is that the stomach is not emphasized. The stomach, if it isn’t ideal, is covered with sweater, jacket etc. So, almost every girl can wear jeans with lowered waist. But if you don’t have long legs, you’d better buy jeans with high waist.
It can be very difficult to choose something particular. Often there is a wish to buy few jeans, so that there won’t be a “what-to-wear” problem. And here a new problem may arise – there are no jeans of your size.
Jeans sizes
Nowadays there is a great variety of jeans, different fashions, brands and sizes. But we are awfully upset when we can’t buy the jeans we like. Not only because there are no jeans of our size. Two pairs of jeans of one size and fashion, but from different producers can sit on differently. Everything depends on the pattern for sewing.
Besides, you should once learn the sizes of jeans and remember them forever. Jeans will always be fashionable, so you should know you size. Generally accepted American notation includes the size of waist (W) and length (L) in inches.
The main is of course the size of your waist. To define, which jeans are yours, divide the size of you waist in cm on 2,5 and you’ll get the W number. Women and girls are recommended to buy jeans that are one size smaller then necessary. Jeans fabric will stretch a little. The main is to buy such jeans, which can be easily buttoned and in which there won’t be a problem to sit down and to get up. Though there are some models that can be buttoned only when you are lying.
If the jeans that suit you by the waist also suit you by the length, you are very lucky. Jeans length indication (L) shows the length of inner trouser-leg. Usually jeans for the peculiar waist have standard length. So they are too long for many people. But it isn’t a big problem. They can be cut, hemmed or just rolled up.
Fashionable jeans
Different jeans are fashionable in different times.
In such fashion houses as Armani, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, Christian Dior, the production is orientated to the jeans with different cuts and frays. For example, fashionable Dolce&Gabbana jeans are usually narrow light blue jeans with slight, scarcely visible bell-bottom. These jeans, men as well as women, hold only on thighs. They don’t fall only because of the belt, that can be also chosen among D&G collection. Cuts (especially wide cut is under the knee) are ragged, the fabric bristles to all sides.
But sometimes, you can buy fashionable jeans among not so popular brand, but with the same quality. The jeans should look original and neat. Even jeans with inscriptions and different patterns shouldn’t have too much decoration. Then they can be worn not only at the parties, but also at the work (if you don’t have a Dress-code, of course). But of course ragged jeans with cuts and frays are not suitable for the office.
Jeans fabric can be rough as well as soft. But you should always remember about the underwear. The purchase of fashionable jeans is not all you need to look stylish. If the delineation of underwear is visible, it will spoil you entire look. It concerns not only women. Girls, wearing jeans with lowered waist should remember that underwear is often seen when you sit down or bend. That’s why, if you waist is not covered by a sweater or something else, the underwear should be appropriate.
You can be sure that any jeans that suit you, will be fashionable. Bell-bottomed jeans may not be fashionable just now, but the fashion is so changeable that they may be fashionable just the next season. The same is about patch pockets.
Proprietary jeans, how to distinguish the fake
Often when we buy proprietary jeans, we pay for a trade mark. And it is really worth it, because the quality of jeans from well-known brands is very high. Especially qualitative are the jeans by the firms that specialize in jeans production. For example, such firms as Lee, Diesel, Wrangler, Levi Strauss & Co are the main jeans producers. But since jeans have become not only the clothing for workers, they are produced by many fashion houses (Calvin Klein, Versace, Dolce&Gabbana). But how can we buy proprietary jeans, not the fake?
First of all, everyone knows that proprietary jeans are not sold in cheap markets.
Second, there are some signs that are always present on proprietary jeans. First of all, you should examine the quality of stitches and accessories. All the stitches, external as well as internal should be smooth and even. The cuts should be hidden. You should pay special attention to the jeans edges, they should necessarily have double stitch. May be you haven’t paid attention to it before, but every firm makes special patterns on the back pockets. The color and width of stitches also differs for every firm (Lee jeans have yellow stitches). All the accessories (buttons, rivets, back side of the zipper) have a trade mark. Sometimes the YKK accessories are used. Other marks on the accessories or their absence should make you doubt about the correctness of your choice.
Of course, inscriptions on internal and external labels should coincide. There shouldn’t be any unusual frays or visible damages.
Jeans fashion constantly creates new fresh solutions. Everything starts from women jeans, but gradually modern accessories come to men jeans too. That’s why everyone has the freedom of choice. Correctly chosen jeans will not only suit you and won’t hamper you moves, but also emphasize the advantages of any figure. So don’t be too lazy to try several jeans on, before you choose the right ones.
