Whether you live in London, Paris, New York, or Milan, jeans have become an international staple of the well-dressed woman. Just when you thought that buying a pair of expensive well-made pair of jeans would be enough to put you on the inside track of fashion cool, style expert Mary Jo Matsumoto sheds light on the up the unwritten rules of designer jeans. To find out why the hottest jeans are brands you’ve probably never heard of, check out Mary Jo’s Reel to Real fashion column at www.sheknows.com. Her article details what to look for in high end jeans that will make them worth the hefty price. Find out what the most flattering style of jean is, the best style of jeans to slim your thighs, the truth about back pockets, and most importantly, how to find the right fit for your butt.
Mary Jo presents the contrasts as well as the surprising similarities between niche jeans lines like the newly launched high end label Fidelity and one of America’s oldest brands, the revamped Lee Authentics line. She also interviews a specialty jeans store owner and jeans aficiondo who details why underground brands have more cache than mainstream brands such as Seven, Citizens of Humanity, and True Religion.
Mary Jo feels that whether you decide to support new indie jeans makers or opt for the nostalgic brands that were always in the background of democratic culture, the bottom line is ultimately about getting the best cut for your body type.
