Written by Verna Bradford on November 21, 2019. Posted in Editor's Special, Jeans, New arrivals style, Style Spy.

We have recently shared the skinny jeans that our editors swear by, and while the style is a classic wardrobe and a timeless denim silhouette, we are shifting gears today and focusing on the year’s denim trends. For what’s common in the denim world this season and beyond, we’re setting out to pay attention to the top three trends. We recommend denim-loving readers stock up on the three main styles of jeans to ensure that we are ahead of the trends for the coming months. Including extremely relaxed choices to classic silhouettes that make a fresh return, keep reading to see everybody’s wearing denim trends right now and how celebrities wear on-trend jeans.

Anti–Skinny Jeans

Loose jeans (aka anti-skinny jeans) offer an incredibly laid-back look, as Kendall Jenner points out here. We’ve talked a bit about this year’s baggy denim trend and found that the fashion among our readers is quite polarizing. This Agolde pair received the most praise from this year’s entire denim range and also makes the most comfortable pair. Browse below our top picks of loose jeans.

Skinny Jeans 2.0

If you haven’t learned about skinny jeans ‘ new wave, let’s get you quick. My colleague Allyson Payer was the first to see Victoria Beckham wearing the skinny jeans below, and AP pointed out how the model is a new type of skinny jeans: essentially a combination of slim and straight jeans but lower than conventional straight cuts through the calf and ankle. Beckham has even shown that with any form of heels you can wear the new style. Browse below our favorite 2.0 skinny jeans.

High(er)-Rise Heights

High-rise jeans will reign as a classic denim style forever, and this year we see brands taking it to the next level, increasing inseam measurements and debuting silhouettes with names such as “pinch waist” and “ribcage” jeans. Both styles are examples of designs that are designed to hit your frame as high as possible to concentrate on your waist. Store underneath the right high(er)-rise jeans.

OUTFITS TO TRY OUT WHEN YOU THINK THERE’S NOTHING TO WEAR.

You’re like me? It’s like searching the closet every morning and finding there’s nothing to wear. Every day, most of us go through the same question. Just like we get used to our everyday clothes and there’s nothing special about it. But if you can make proper use of your sense of fashion then, with your everyday clothes you will obviously kill the day. And I have something to think about somehow

So I have a few looks that you should try or duplicate when you think you don’t have anything to wear. We’ll see something very classy from the basics.

Plain tee and Jeans:

Each guy has this simple tee and in the last blog I expressed my views on the black jeans, a dark one was jeans. But I’d go with dark blue jeans today. So you can go out with the white tee with the dark blue jeans that will really give you a classy look. And that’s not an object that you need to accessorize. Wear the watch’s eye-catching light. And the white sneakers would look good. And don’t forget to do your jeans with a good cuffing or stacking. You can put this outfit on the flannel in many ways, or tie it around your waist, and that’s it.

Hoodie combo:

The hoodie is the most popular clothing item. If you don’t have them, I’d say go and buy one, please. If you’ve got dark blue hoodies to go up with the dark or light gray denim that’s going to be an eye-catching color. If it just looks boring to you, you should put the denim jacket layer on it. Attach the jacket or flannel layer to it and it looks very cool.

jeans shorts and hoodie:

If you’re thinking of wearing shorts or boxers, go on with the shorts of jeans and combine them with the hoody that’s a great combo. Pair the dark-colored hoodies with your shorts. You can go with vans or wear flip-flops for boots. There’s no need for any other piece of clothing that you can try out.

Printed stripe shirt:

Pretty standard shirts are black and white tops. We tend to act as a blank slate and can be accessorized by the sort of outfit you want to wear. On the other hand, the patterned tops have a little more character and can be used to add to the look a certain feature. When you deal with the look of a dress shirt and jeans, stripes or prints can also keep the ensemble on the casual side, making the overall appearance less formal.

Pleated Jeans A ‘ 80s Denim Trend You’re Seeing About

Written by Verna Bradford on November 12, 2019. Posted in Celeb diaries, Editor's Special, Jeans, New arrivals style, Style Spy.

I see it as my duty to report on what Jean patterns are in and out before fall Start, and there’s one denim style I know for sure is past its prime: mom jeans. I hate breaking it because I know the fit was a favorite fan, but regular mom jeans aren’t the freshest choice anymore. With all things bubbling up in the style of the 80s right now, it’s only natural that plated jeans will eventually make a comeback, and that day finally came. From the celebrity street style looks to our go-to denim brands like Levi’s and Agolde, we’ve been plated jeans everywhere we look lately. So the fact that they read close to mom jeans — although with a more stylish, trouser-like fit — makes us think they’re about to become as famous as once were the beloved mom jeans. Ready to see how chic the trend of pleated jeans can be?

Whether or not you’re a decade-long follower of fashion, the polarizing trends of the’ 80s have made their way back into the 2018 trends process. Trends like color-block sweaters, neon and shoulder pads prove to be officially trendy again, but there’s a particular trend that we’re really surprised to see a comeback: plated denim.

On the Street

One of the first celebrities we encountered was Chrissy Teigen who put her approval stamp on the controversial jeans. You have to admit that her stylish approach to styling them with a bodysuit, strappy sandals, and a black top is pretty good, no matter where you stand on them.

Hailey Bieber stepped out of the buzzy Re / Done x Attico partnership in a pair of plated jeans, and her look shows that elegance is the perfect way to test the denim trend.

Take a cue from Chriselle Lim, a street-style queen, and slip a thin knit top into a pair of pleated jeans.

Erika Boldrin tells us why the perfect match for the panty-like jeans is elegant silhouettes like a tailored blazer.

Distressing DIY for your Jeans

Written by Verna Bradford on November 6, 2019. Posted in Discover, Editor's Special, Jeans, New arrivals style, Style Spy.

I have envied all the Pinterest and Instagram pics of gals rockin’ hardcore distressed jeans for some time now that I wish I could have my own pair. I love projects so I thought I was going to make my own pair of troubled DIY jeans! I knew that if I put some sweat in it, I could get there and I felt quite happy with the final result. I recently picked up a pair of vintage Edwin light washed jeans in Portland and knew they were the right wash and fit to try my trouble. It took me a little to get the hang of, but if you follow the steps below you will be able to duplicate the distressed look on your own vintage or older worn-out jeans for much less than you would pay for a distressed pair.

Mark the Cuts

By bending your knees slightly and marking them with a washable pencil or chalk line, you’ll want to get the right knee spots approximately determined.

Measure your Cut Lines

This can become as imaginative as you like, or as simple. I began around the initial cut line with a rough 3-4 inch diameter, but it developed slowly as I continued to go. The key point is to make sure that it usually starts from the top to bottom and from there you can get creative.

Cut your Strips

I started cutting strips of the same length (approximately 1/2-1 inch wide) and you need to do your best to cut the grain. If you look inside the pants you will see how the white threads are running and you want to cut not only straight across the pant’s horizontal line but also follow the grain so that the string pieces you are pulling out are not cut in half. (You’re going to know what I mean once you try one or two)! Make sure you inside the jeans put cardboard, a magazine or a bunch of paper to be used as a cutting board to cut your strips.

Pull Out the Horizontal Threads

Once you’ve cut the strips, you’ll want to start by taking one strip and pulling the nearest white thread from the top until there are about 5 ish threads from both the top and the bottom of the strip. The point of this step is to make pulling out the vertical jean threads easier for you, and I found the whiter horizontal threads you get out of the strip the easier it is to do so. One thing I noticed in a distressed section (as noted in the last step) is that if you just go with your eye and cut a straight line strip, you could end up cutting the white threads in half, which ends up without horizontal threads across the hole.

Pull the Vertical Threads Out

After pulling the horizontal threads, aim to start pulling the vertical threads from the center of the string. Once you get the first few down, taking them out will be a lot simpler. Work your way up the strip on one side and then head to the other side. Don’t worry if it looks to square off at the corners as you go from strip to strip, in the next step I found a great way to make it look a little more natural.

Clean Up the Edges

Once all the vertical threads are removed and the hole is well distressed, go around the edge of the hole and start pulling out the blue threads to loosen up each strip’s square corners. Do this as much or as little as you like until it appears as natural as possible. You can also cut off white threads in this stage if you prefer, which hang loose.

Go Wild with Distress

Once you’ve finished a section / distressed hole (and it’ll take time, I think it took me like 10 hours to complete the entire process of the DIY distressed jeans), make more slits and cut the top, middle and bottom of the pants as much or as little as you’d like.

Adam Levine’s Designer Denim Style.

Written by Verna Bradford on October 24, 2019. Posted in Celeb diaries, Editor's Special, Jeans, Style Spy.

An American rapper, songwriter and producer, Adam Noah Levine. He’s the pop-rock band Maroon 5’s lead singer. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Levine started his musical career in 1994 when he co-founded Kara’s Flowers, the leading vocalist, and guitarist of which he was. As everyone knows that Denim is the leading outfit when it comes to casual apparel. Adam is also a Denim Dude and here are some of his denim outfits to give you unique denim outfit ideas.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo appeared like besotted newlyweds over the weekend as they headed out in Santa Monica for a meal together. Adam, the frontman of Maroon 5, was dressed in a double denim ensemble of troubled baggy jeans with knee holes and a slouchy denim shirt. With a pair of Vans, the Era in Rouge Red / true White Two-Tone Test, he completed his grungy outfit. In a tie-dye print minidress that she wore with a distressed denim jacket and Celine white pull-on sneakers, Behati looked effortlessly chic. She completed her dress, holding silver studs with an Alexander Wang Roxy Mini Bucket in Black Suede.

Adam Levine has taken out his one-year-old wife, Behati Prinsloo, for a date night. The frontman “Maroon 5” wore a “Highway To Hell” graphic t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans, repping with a sports cap on his native LA Dodgers. There are plenty of holes in David’s pants, some rips along one of the feet, and pain all over the jacket. They look like they’ve been worn for years, they have a really cool vintage feel. We love this kind of vintage-y looks on our jeans, but it’s so hard to achieve the “real” McCoy that it takes forever.

Adam Levine was another denim party at Madison Square Garden, New York City’s Z100 Jingle Ball 2014. The frontman of the Maroon 5, clad in a pair of destroyed skinny jeans, was joined by his bandmate, James Valentine, for some pictures on the red carpet. James wore a denim jacket in tandem with a pair of black jeans. The jeans from Adam Levine seem to be flexible enough for him to hop and run on stage, but I don’t think they’ve been stretch jeans. These are a medium blue wash with knee rips and some fading throughout the feet. The model is a slim fit with a slightly lower waist.
