Stretch Jeans

Summary by Damian Sofsian, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

This universal youth style statement and fashion apparel has had a long symbolic history. Trends and fashion icons come and go but wearing stylish, comfortable jeans has always remained in style.

While their charisma springs from their legendary American roots, the commercial strength of jeans rests on innovation and interpretation in the hands of jeans makers around the world.

The variety of jeans available is seemingly endless. There are jeans designed for just about any physical build and fashion sense out there.

Stretch jeans are made of a fabric that contains elastic and stretch to fit the body like a second skin. They are stylish, make many people look thinner and enhance the body’s shape. Stretch jeans cut and stitched in different styles perform many figure enhancing and camouflaging miracles.

Stretch jeans have become the second best selling clothing item, right behind the standard 5 pocket jean pants. The cotton/spandex is very popular among all stretch denim materials. Floral, embroidered and beaded stretch jeans are also rapidly gaining ground in the market. Another popular stretch denim material combination constitutes of 71% cotton 28% polyester and 1% spandex. The clingy fabric hugs the body and a contoured waistband helps create curves. Stretch denim jeans work wonders in such a situation. The combination of elastic and denim helps to simultaneously enhance and camouflage body parts accordingly to create the look of a well-toned, curvaceous body.

In a statement unlikely to endear him to fashion-conscious females, he said “low-rise” trousers were not suitable for “heavy women” and suggested that women should return to wearing the traditional high-waisted jeans or, preferably, loose dresses.

Stretch jeans today are the designer’s magic potion.

Find the Perfect Fitting Jeans

Summary by Andy Deshong

For some people shopping for jeans is an impossible task. The first challenge for the jean shopper is finding the style of jeans that will look good on your body.

Body Types

If you are looking to accentuate your long legs, then wear a high-waist jean. If you have shorter legs, a low-waist, wide-leg jean will elongate your legs. Never ever buy any jeans with pleats. Choose a five pocket style or jeans with slash pockets on the diagonal. The width of the jean leg can also create a more balanced body image, so a boot cut jean will help achieve the balance. The challenge in buying jeans to fit a bigger backside is finding the proper rise. Look for jeans with a little stretch. Larger hips typically mean thicker legs, and straight leg jeans help give the leg a uniform width. Avoid a peg leg jean and stretch jeans that fit skin tight. Almost any jean will be a fit, but choose a jean that has a lighter wash, some bleaching on the leg or distressed markings. If you want your jeans to fit perfectly, you value your time and you typically spend over $100 on jeans, then custom jeans are for you. Why? With custom jeans, the fit guess work is eliminated.
