Jeans Are Your Identity

Jeans are an identity.
It is quite simple as that however, jeans truly are your identity.
I do believe all clothing is form of distinction in
its own way. The way you dress trademarks you. You represent what you wear and
what you wear represents you but these words don't apply as strongly to some
articles of clothing as they do to others. They do, however, apply quite
strongly to jeans.
There truly is
nothing worse than a badly fitting pair of jeans. Or a way too long pair of
jeans that forces you to cuff it up at the ends in order to make them look like
their a skinny pair. Or ones that sag around your hips when they aren't meant
to. Or around your butt. Ones that bring attention to some parts of your body
that you don't want to be highlighting.
Finding the
perfect pair of jeans is hard. I know that for a fact because although I was
far quicker to pick up on jeans patterns than most people I knew were - we've
all struggled.
This post,
however, isn't meant to explore the varieties of jeans and what looks good and
what doesn't on certain body types. This post is meant to reflect on some of my
favorite types of jeans. So here's a clean, cut list.
1. High Rise
Grey Jeans
I was never quite into grey jeans but in
all honesty, that's partially because I've never really owned grey jeans. I
tend to always gravitate towards the dark blues and sometimes blacks. This
summer - I realized I needed to broaden my horizons a little bit and so I
experimented slightly. I got my hands on a slightly expensive pair of high
rise, slim fit grey jeans from Levi's and they might be my favorite purchase
ALL summer. I love them. They are so representative of my taste and they
accommodate everything I've ever truly wanted in a good pair of jeans. Not only
that - they look fantastic with my favorite chelsea boots and every t-shirt I
own. They are harder to pair with more girlier tops but they fit the grunge
aesthetic perfectly.
2. Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are quite misunderstood,
frankly. At least they were by me because I've had a sick pair of boyfriend
jeans for the past couple of years and I've rarely ever worn it because it just
didn't seem to work with anything. The things with boyfriend jeans or mom jeans
is that they don't easily pair up. You have to squeeze their potential out of
them but once you get the look right - they're effortless, casual and
comfortable. Not to mention, they do actually go with EVERYTHING. They're also
pretty easy to jazz up - pair them with a nude pair of heels and you've got a
formal look instantly. Otherwise, put on a sweatshirt and some trainers and you
could look like you're about to go play a baseball game. They work but it's
hard to understand how to make them work. The key to that is mainly - finding
the right pair for yourself. One that fits but doesn't sag on you. One that hug
your body and doesn't make your thighs look big. The only way to get there is
to spend time trying out pairs and seeing what not only looks right but feels right.
3. Slim Fit Light Blue Jeans
The darker zones of jeans is a world
that I've been trapezing through for the past few year rarely every moving
beyond that. It did occur to me quite some time ago that I need a change of
scenery and also because too many of my friends had light blue jeans and they
all looked exquisite. I got my hands on a very similar pair to this picture
above and to be honest, they didn't have my size but the jeans, my oh my was
too gorgeous to not buy just because it was a few sizes too big. Besides, it
came with a belt. There's nothing you can fix. Although, I do suggest - always
buy jeans in your own size (belt or no belt). It is mostly always fashion
suicide to buy jeans too big for you. The pair I bought however, I dodged the
bullet because they work. Paired with something colorful, you're a sight for
sore eyes because light blue jeans do light up a room. They're playful yet
collected. Light blue jeans are the probably the easiest to jazz up - wear a
silk top and statement necklace with some fun heels and you've got a high
fashion look right there. All in all, always have a pair of light blue jeans in
your closet.
