Well I guess theres no fighting it any longer the three most frequently worn pair of jeans have bitten the dust. One pair I can see through, one is so faded I'm not even sure what colour they were originally, and the last pair has thee hugest hole in...well where there shouldn't be a hole! Needless to say at this point I'm going to have to suck it up and buy a new pair of jeans. This time I'm going to splurge a little and make sure I get a quality pair, jean shopping can be costly and time consuming however with some of these tips hopefully it'll make your next shopping trip less painful.
Take your time!
I can't emphasize this enough! Take your time if it takes five hours it takes five hours. Rushing yourself will only frustrate you and lead you to purchasing a pair of jeans that just isn't right for you. Jean shopping is frustrating enough without putting a time constraint on yourself. Give yourself the time it takes to find the perfect pair.
When In Doubt
Well you've found a pair that fits and it comes in about fifty-billion different washes, now what? When in doubt go with a dark solid wash. It will match anything and will last you a long time if washed properly. If you want wears and embellishments on the jeans be sure you absolutely love the way they look. These highlights on the jeans do exactly that and highlight the areas in which they are covering (Bejazzled bum pockets anyone?)
Sit Test
This is a must do when you are jean shopping! If you really want your jeans to go the extra mile (and cover your plumbers butt while you're at it) find a spot on a change room bench and sit. If you aren't covered then you might want to try on another pair possibly in a different rise or size. Remember a belt does not always fix this problem so if anything make this your staple when shopping.
Seeing Double
This tip pretty much goes against all the money saving tips I've been giving lately, however investing is also part of saving money. Once you find the right pair of jeans for you and you've put them through the ringer try to pick up two pairs (if finances permit). Store's often change their denim style's and can discontinue fits on a regular basis so stock up. Having one pair you can wear with flats and one pair with heels is always an asset.
Lastly carpe the deal. If you see a store advertising a really good deal on denim take advantage of it. Major retailers such as the Gap have specials on their denim often so make sure you look around and do your research.
That's all for now!
