Step Guide To Stonewashing Your Jeans

Jeans blogger

The 80s totally ruled, as did Def Leppard and their fashion sense. Designing your own unique, personalized stonewashed jeans is a total breeze. Some friends of mine recently asked where I get my super authentic 80s style Def Leppard look. And while some would have you believe the Def Leppard look starts with ripped jeans, those of us truly in the know, know it is almost impossible to properly stonewash a pair of pre-ripped jeans, so we never rip them before stonewashing them! And you know, just buying stonewashed jeans from Macy’s is for the feeble willed. A true Def Leppard fan and connoisseur of the most rocking decade ever, the 1980s, should be able to wash his or her own stonewashed jeans. Don’t you agree? Or are you still holding on relentlessly to your Fedora from the beat generation days?

Stonewashing jeans is probably simpler than you previously thought. To begin, just take any pair of boring old jeans and soak them in salt water for 2 days. I prefer salt water from the Dead Sea, as it contains the highest concentrate of sodium nitrates of any salt water on Earth, but I also take frequent trips to the Middle East so this is no problem for me.

You will probably have to settle for some run of the mill Atlantic of Pacific Ocean salt water. Its ok, it will do just fine. Most importantly, you won’t use salt water from the Gulf of Mexico, unless you plan on using your new stonewashed jeans as a political statement against the horrifying effects of the BP debacle going on down there. But alas if you have news outlets at your disposal to pull something like this off, you are probably too rich to be stonewashing your own jeans. So go get them at Macy’s punk!

If you aren’t rich, then you should read on! Step 2 is to wring those suckers out. Give them a real thorough wind up, twist and release. Yeah, that’s right, don’t be shy. Now, get some sand paper and rub it up and down your jeans length wise to create the desired stonewashed look. You can experiment with different grit sand paper to adjust the effect and outcome.

Now we are ready for the simplest part, step 3! Hang your new stonewashed jeans in the sun and let them drink in that vitamin D. After they have spent ample time drying, it is time to go ahead and wash and dry them normally. If you are going for the full blown Def Leppard look, I would recommend making cuts in your jeans prior to the first washing. This way the cuts will fray in the wash and thusly look all the more authentic for your next 80s revival show.

And finally step 4, let’s go ahead and wash and dry those awesome new jeans normally. I recommend using any type of generic detergent because I am cheap, but you can waste money on a brand name detergent if you like. As for dryer softeners, I don’t use them after contracting a horrifying rash in 1996 from their use. But if you like living on the edge, follow your heart. Either way, your new stonewashed jeans are going to be the talk of the town. Have fun, and don’t forget the hairspray!

Baby Phat Jeans Review

Jeans blogger

Only a few designer jeans have managed to attain the kind of success that Baby Phat Jeans clothes line has attained. In spite of having been launched into the market in 1998 when designer jeans were only a preserve of a few, Baby-Phat Jeans have managed to withstand the sands of time.

Unlike other clothing lines that need the face of a popular celebrity to endorse them Baby Phat Jeans do not need a celebrity ambassador. The clothing is not only popular amongst the general public, but also amongst celebrities. Some of the hip hop and R&B stars that have been seen sporting Baby Phat Jeans are Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Carmen Electra and Britney Spears. Moreover, there are a couple of pop stars that have showcased the denim wear in their songs.

One of the challenges that majorities of women face while shopping for the right type of jeans is finding a design and style that complements their figures. More than often, they are forced to contend with jeans that do fit their curves and silhouettes. A number of jeans tend to look good on the hunger, but disappoint when tried on. This is the challenge that Baby Phat Jeans set out to solve.

Ask any woman and theyll immediately admit to you that the best denim wear is that which fits you and not the other way round. The one thing that Baby-Phat Jeans has managed to capture is the fact that not every woman has the same build. This in turn has enabled women looking for jeans that fit their figure find the right kind of jeans with extreme ease. Listed below, are some of the issues that Baby Phat Jeans has tried to solve:

-Jeans that tend to fit perfectly but somehow manage to leave some space at the waist region. As such, they have managed to prevent the need for putting on belts which only function in spoiling your looks.

-Denim wears that do not portray their actual sizes. If you are a size
12, you can rest assured that the size 12 jeans acquired will fit you perfectly.

-Denim wears that seem as if theyll fit you well when on the hunger, but hardly gets past the thigh region when tried.

-Denim wears that do not stretch well.
In making Baby Phat Jeans, the designer took into account that not everyone has the same butt size. Consequently, do not expect to get a one-size-fit all types of jeans when you buy Baby-Phat Jeans. If you have tried other types of denim wears such as Dereon and DKNY, you will immediately notice that Baby Phat Jeans fit differently. But perhaps the most interesting thing regarding Baby-Phat Jeans is the fact that some of their denim wears are designed with warped belt hoops. This specific design gives one the illusion that the wearer has a curvaceous figure.
Shopping for Baby Phat Jeans

When shopping for Baby Phat denim wears at your local shopping mall and are unable to find the design or size you are looking for, consider shopping from the internet.

Tummy Control Jeans – Top Ten Picks

Jeans blogger

The dreaded tummy bulge, we all know how it got there and how hard it is to get rid of, but, short of an old fashioned girdle, we dont seem to know how to hide it. Its easy to find swim suits and underwear for tummy control, but how does that work for jeans (especially low rise)? Believe me, if you think that no one will notice those control top pantyhose or that heavy duty body shaper sitting 5 inches above the waistband of your jeans, you are wrong!

To the rescue, a new crop of tummy control jeans that allow you to look great without the extra layers of spandex. Denim technology and the use of stretch have taken the jeans market in a whole new direction, allowing jeans to be soft, flexible, and supportive. Couple that with designers who recognize that all women, even those with a little extra tummy, want great style, and youve got yourself a denim revolution. No longer do you have to settle for boring mom jeans (hey being a mom is great, but we dont want to look like that SNL skit). Designer brands like Not Your Daughters Jeans, Nancy Bolen, and Christopher Blue are bringing together modern styling and body contouring in their newest jeans. Now you can have the latest looks in a style that you can really wear.

When it comes to that spare tire (muffin top for the hip crowd), we find that people have the style tips all wrong, wearing just the kind of jeans that will make them look bigger instead of smaller. We have 5 tips to beat the bulge:
Look for mid rise jeans that offer plenty of coverage for your stomach
Look for darker color denim and no extra wash treatments in the front. Those will draw attention to your stomach
Look for wider shaped waistbands. They add an extra measure of slimness and shaping that will make your waist look great.
Stay away from pleats. Instead keep it simple and clean in the front with classic 5 pocket or slash pocket styling.
Stay away from elastic waists and button flys. You dont need the extra bulk.

One big question remains: Do tummy control jeans really work? Weve tested hundreds of jeans to find out and we have great news. They do! Our top picks are listed below.

Not Your Daughters Jeans Tummy Tuck Stretch Jeans, $88: Patented stitch technology to trim your waist
Not only does this jean deliver on its promises, flattening your tummy, its made of some of the softest denim weve felt. Patented criss-cross stitching inside the front panel works wonders to add support and control to your tummy. It fits almost everyone well and has a flattering modern style that looks great in the slimming dark wash.

Not Your Daughters Jeans Stretch jeans, $118: Soft denim and a slim look
Like the Tummy Tuck style, this jean has specially engineered front pockets that help keep your waistline looking slim and trim. The waistband is cross cut for a comfortable, just below your waist fit. This is a great style that satisfies all of those fashion dos in one chic package.

Nancy Bolen Suddenly Slim R jeans, $88: A Hidden front panel does the trick
Buy the smaller size and let the stretch do its magic. The woven control panel will really control your tummy while the boot cut styling will bring an overall slender look. This jean won the Good Housekeeping seal of approval for excellence in comfort, quality, fit, ease of care, and appearance after wash. Youll love the overall smooth, sleek look this jean will give you.

Chadwick’s straight leg jeans, $29: Power mesh for powerful control
The power mesh panel works, and so does the price! A more conservative style, this jean sits at your waist and tapers down to a smaller leg opening, emphasizing the curve of your hips and waist. The front has a smooth clean fit which is great for keeping the focus off of your tummy area. The waistband is fairly rigid and can feel a bit tight, but it is a good choice for those who have some waist definition.

Christopher Blue Ric Flair jeans, $145: A mid rise jean with great style
Not sold as a tummy control jean, it still does the trick. The high quality, high stretch denim will hold you in. The waistband will sit close to your body without folding over or binding your waist. We like that the waist is a bit lower for an updated look that still covers your problem area. The wash is concentrated on the thigh, drawing the eye away from your tummy.

Christopher Blue Lloyds Sister jeans, $148: Subtle shaping to redefine your body
The soft stretch fabric of this jean will hold you in and mold to your curves. Not only will it offer control for your tummy, it will enhance the curve and shaping through your seat, redefining your whole look. This mid rise jean may seem a bit lower than youre used to, but it still offers plenty of coverage and has an updated look.

Jag Jeans 5 pocket stretch jeans, $79: A wardrobe essential for a slimmer look
Again, not specific for tummy control, this jean dips slightly at the front waist for an updated look that will still give you plenty of tummy coverage. There is extra room in the front panel to cover and smooth your body without pulling or feeling tight. Stretch denim is the key; evening out all of those bumps and bulges.

Newport News Stretch boot cut jeans, $29: Coverage you need with a smoothing fit
The slightly heavier stretch denim of this jean gives you good coverage and support for that left over baby bulge. It has clean straight forward styling and a classic boot cut leg shape making this a fantastic basic. You will be amazed at all of the color options. Just remember, dark colors are the most slimming.

Cambio Norah jeans, $195: Two way stretch for comfort and control
Cambio is one of the few brands that use 2 way stretch denim, allowing the Norah jean to support and control your tummy with unbelievable softness and comfort. The waist is a bit lower in the front and then tilts up in the back. This adds definition to your waist shape and lengthens the look of your legs. For a subtle wash, try the Dark Stonewash. The Precool wash shown here will place too much emphasis on your tummy area.

Gloria Vanderbilt Giselle jeans, $27: Balance your proportions with this boot cut style
There is a great texture to the denim in this jean that helps to smooth and contour your overall look. It has just the right amount of coverage and support for your tummy and a comfortable waistband that will not bind. The fashion boot cut leg is a little wider, making the overall proportions of this jean work well for your shape. The Giselle comes in a wide selection of colors, look for the darker ones to give you the ultimate slender look.
