Washed Denim Jeans

Find the Jean Style That Suits your Shape Best

Jeans and denim trousers will continue to be popular in the coming seasons. With so many different styles to choose from, it can get quite confusing to pick the right pair for your body type. Following are a few guidelines for every shape:

Petite
Look for a low-rise straight or skinny leg. Stay away from capris, flares and too much embellishment, which cut the length of your legs. Also avoid higher rises, because they make your torso look shorter.

Boyish
The trendy low-rise skinny jean or sandblasted denim is made for your shape. Smaller or lower sitting back pockets create the
illusion of curves. Refrain from wearing looser fits, which create a more masculine look.

Pear
Go for a slight boot-cut or straight leg to balance a bigger hip and thigh. Make sure the jeans are snug, but not too tight round
your thigh. A medium to higher-rise is recommended. Larger or higher sitting back pockets will make a large bum appear smaller.

Apple
In order to create the slimmest look, wear a slim-leg stretch-denim boot cut or a straight leg. A high rise helps camouflage a few extra pounds in the midsection. Higher sitting back pockets will lift your behind.

Plus size
Look for a mid- to high-rise straight-leg in dark denim, preferably with a little stretch (2% spandex/lycra). Men’s styles may also fit you well. Avoid tapered legs and bulky front pockets.

Only buy jeans that fit really well; Price and label are less important. Also keep in mind that denim will stretch. If the fit is too loose when you buy your jeans, you will notice that it will get even looser with time.

Denim usually shrinks during the first wash. Should you need to get the legs altered, have it done after washing and drying, or you may end up with jeans that are too short.

Last, but not least, this is how you prevent your jeans from fading too soon: always wash your jeans inside out, add a little vinegar to the wash to set the color and wash your newer and older jeans together.

what is the best way to wash really Dark Denim Jeans?

i paid like 60 bucks for these and i dont want to mess them up what type of detergent should i use

the color is dark indigo
they are lrg jeans

turn them inside out, wash them all by themselves, and in cold water. Hang dry, and then tumble for five minutes on a low setting in the dryer. It will knock the stiffness out of them.

Any detergent is fine, just use a few tablespoons because it’s only one item.

Invest in stuff called Mrs. Stewart’s Blueing… I use it in my denim loads and it keeps them looking brand new. It’s just a color rinse for the wash. It also counter acts the way white clothes turn yellow. A miracle product, found in most stores next to the bleach and fabric softner.

So you know what to look for:
