Jeans. A wardrobe essential. Buying them however, normally = nightmare! If you are with the majority of women out there, then you will agree that shopping for jeans is probably the least pleasant experience. It is so hard to find the perfect ones - be it the fit, length or colour and can you leave you mildly frustrated. However, there are a few tips you can keep in mind when shopping for jeans that can hopefully make the whole experience more bearable and successful.
Open your mind
Don't just stick to the exact same type/colour you always have. Experiment with different washes, fits and lengths - you never know what might look amazing on until you try it.
Not just the front!
Don't just loo at how the jeans fit at the front, look to the back as this is just as important.
Sizing
Skinny jeans should be on the tighter size when you are trying them on in the shop. This is because once you get them home and wear them, they will stretch out. You should be slightly uncomfortable when in the shop fitting room.
Research
There are lots of different brands that sell jeans, don't just stick to one brand.
Length
Don't worry too much on the length as jeans can be hemmed or cut raw and have a whole different look to them.
Double Up
Found your perfect pair? Get 2 pairs!
Try It!
ALWAYS try jeans on as every brand is different. (Personally, I would never buy online!)
There, you should now have all the tools you now need for a more enjoyable jeans shopping trip! Are there any other tips you think I should include?

I used to (kind of still do) have a phobia of trying things on in the fitting rooms, but trying jeans on before buying is a MUST. Not only because they are expensive, but sizes and fit can be so varied.
ReplyDeleteI know now to always stick with my trust Topshop Joni or Jamie jeans, I'll never regret purchasing them. xx

The fit of jeans varies so much store to store so always best to try on (even if you hate fitting rooms!) Love Topshop Joni - have so many pairs!

I was never a jeans wearer, I used to hate how restrictive they were and of course the hell that is shopping for them but... I think I've found my perfect pair. Being plus-size it's hard to find a brand that does them good but I can safely say, I've doubled up in fear of them going out of stock!
