Jeans- A Mom’s Best Friend
By Tammy | December 1, 2007
Jeans are a mom’s best friend. The majority of moms in business that dish about their beauty and style tips mention “a pair of great fitting jeans”. Many of the outfits featured in “As Seen on the Playground” include denim. If you are searching for the perfect pair for yourself you have questions: WHO makes a great pair of jeans, WHAT makes a great pair of jeans, HOW much you are spending on the jeans and WHY it is necessary to have a great pair of jeans in your wardrobe. Denim is one of the most talked about topics in fashion. It is also one of the most dreaded topics for women all over the world…finding the perfect pair of jeans is never easy!
Many of us find denim to be a MUST HAVE in our wardrobe. Others won’t wear it at all (though I think it is because they have not found the right pair of jeans yet)! Denim jeans are very versatile and many woman fail to see that. They feel “dressed down” or uncomfortable in the structured fabric (buy a pair with a little stretch and the stiff feeling is gone!). The trick to denim is what you wear it with.
I had a friend tell me that she “couldn’t” put together an outfit, that all she wears is jeans and tees. I love to wear denim and tees, too. I love the look. The difference between her outfit and mine is that she throws on ill-fitted denim with a sloppy tee and she’s done. I put a bit more effort into it with a cute fitted tee or sweater, great accessories and cute flats or heels, when appropriate. Ladies, it is all about the details! Denim jeans are great for a sexy night out with your man, perfect for a play date with your kid and adorable with the right top for cocktails with your girlfriends.
Here are some tips for wearing jeans and looking stylish:
1. Dark denim is better worn at night as it gives a dressier look.
2. Mid to high rise are the most appropriate to wear when crawling on the floor with your kiddos. Showing off your thong to your toddler’s My Gym class isn’t cool.
3. When wearing a wide leg jean, wear heels or your legs will disappear.
4. Many jeans are designed to aid in hiding body flaws like the Tummy Tuck Jeans that offer tummy control and lift the rear.
5. Remember that when you try on a pair with lycra, they WILL stretch after you wear them. Buy accordingly.
6. If you choose to wear slim cut, make sure the cut flatters you. Designers have a different take on what “slim” means so don’t rule it out before trying it on- just be honest about how it looks once it is on!
7. Dress up denim with an embellished top or blazer for a more formal look.
8. Shop and compare. Try on a
9. Before purchasing jeans, make sure your butt looks cute in them! Check the back pocket placement. It can make all the difference in how your bottom looks.
10. If you have a hard time finding the right length, take them in to be altered. Alterations are not just for formal wear! The cost invested in getting the length right is worth it!
