Jeans are a staple in every closet. If you know how to choose your jeans you can end up looking like a million bucks and if you don't, well, you mustn't lose hope! There's always room for improvement beginning with the honest opinion of your best friend and a little help from style gurus from E! and your fashionista friends at work.
If you are short on time or if you are constantly wishing to upgrade your jeans wardrobe but for the limited designs available in your neck of the prairie woods, you can go online and buy from various websites and brand makers.
Here's how:
- Make sure you have a credit card and tape measure. The credit card is for paying for your denims (Visa, Amex, and MasterCard). Use the tape measure to get your waist and leg measurements. You can also use the measurements from a good pair of jeans that you have now.
- Carefully read the terms and agreements on the website you intend to buy from. Make sure you check every morsel of information that is in there especially returned merchandise, refunds, and shipping costs. Furthermore, look into the possibility of allowing buyers like you to place orders for different styles and sizes with the condition that these get shipped to you all at once with the option of returning those that won't fit you within a 30-day period.
- Choose a seller that offers discounts and free shipping. You won't be hard out finding websites that offer these.
- Reconcile cut and color with your lifestyle. Okay, please pay attention because what's coming next will impact your social life. Seriously, there is no room for acid washed, high-waist, and baggy jeans in this day and age. It will never come back no matter how much Jessica Simpson wants to bring these back. Boyfriend jeans are out as well. Ask your boyfriend and he will tell you it's death by ankle exposure. To take a step in the right direction, choose a boot cut, straight legged, or slim fit jeans that come in dark colors so they look more formal and can go straight from the office to a special event after hours.
- Do your research about which jeans fits your body type. Tall and skinny, Tall and big-boned, Plump and short, Petite and shapely. There's a pair of really great jeans that will fit you if you will only take pains to match your shape with the jeans that will make you look amazing!

- Find your brand online and try it onsite. If you are a huge fan of LAMB, True Religion, or classic Levi's and you happen to know for a fact that these are stocked in a department store where you live, get the style online and look for it at the store then try it on. If it fits perfectly, the only thing that's left to decide on is the price tag then you're all set to walk away with a brand new pair. Other websites that you might want to check out:
- Bluefly.com
- SaksFifthAvenue.com
- Banana Republic.com
- JCrew.com
- Read online reviews for straight-talking and honest opinion. Message boards are all over websites that sell everything jeans included. Before making a purchase, read what people have to say about the brand you like and take it from there.
Your next stop will be a full length mirror to check out your true-blue jeans that will last a fashionably long time. Go rock those jeans, will you?
