There are few things more daunting than the prospect of buying a new pair jeans. Denim just can be TRICKY. But necessary, as for a lot of us it’s one of the most-worn items in our wardrobe making it an essential purchase. There can be a few stumbling blocks to finding the perfect pair so its a good idea to consider the following pre-purchase – fabric, fit, stretch, cut, wash, price tag.
WHEN YOU BUY
Ordering online is an excellent wait to try denim. It is a much more comfortable process to do an online order and try out new jeans in the comforts of your own bedroom. Not only does it take out the ‘clammy, sweaty, possible risk of dislocating a joint, it also means that you can consider your purchase a little more. Sit down, walk around, can you bend over? Can you do a squat? You can also try them on with other items in your wardrobe, to see if they work with your collection.
TAILORING
Another thing to keep in mind when you’re shopping for denim is that a trip to the tailors might come in handy. If found your perfect wash, and you love the fit around the leg, but it’s wide at the waist then a tailor can nip it in for a small cost and there you have your perfect pair.
