Fall 2008 Denim Review


Recently rumbling through my closet I was a little shocked at the amount of jeans I have. Its terribly crowded with jeans I don't wear. And the bad thing is when you have a favorite brand whose fit you trust you seem to gravitate towards those favorites vs. the other pairs you may have. So in my quest to update my closet I decided to pick out a few of favorites from fall 08' and bring you some designers whom I love to wear.



Hudson Jeans

They have a wide variety of jeans with the best fit. I especially love their wideleg jeans, so much so, that I purchased them in dark and light rinses. They also carry skinny jeans with a perfect fit. My favorities are the wideleg jeans in BRT.














J Brand Jeans

One of my newest favorite designers. They have a way of making their jeans fit so perfectly without feeling uncomfortable. My favorite styles from them so far is the Lovestory ,the Doll, and the Joplin.


















Paige Premium Denim

An old favorite of mine. Her styles, which are appropriately named for California locations are a also very comfy. Her designs, I believe, are tailored for a more sophisticate fit for older and younger women. Palisades (which I am wearing) have an amazing look, I adore the wideleg and drawstring.














Rock & Republic

Their jeans are designed with really leggy people in mind. With most jeans featuring a 36 in. or longer inseam they definitely cater to more statuesque wearers not like myself. I am 5'6 but they're a good length for wearing heels. My favorites are Kasandra and the limited edition VB crowns.
















Taverniti SO

Ohhh, I love their jeans. The designs, the craftsmanship, the subtle details makes them perfect. I my favorite style is the Courtney, with the military patch in the back. Although they're jeans do not have much stretch, they fit so well. They are definitely more of an edgier jeans.

















True Religion

Well, I'm sure many of you readers are fan of True Religion jeans. They are known for their horseshoe pockets and twisted inseams. Although recently TR has tried to change the look of their jeans I prefer the original look. My favorite jeans are the Joey and Johnny styles, especially the Super T version.













All the brands above can be found at http://www.revolveclothing.com/. There are other designers whom I love as well. Seven for all Mankind has really great jeans, I really love their Ginger style and their A pockets. Ksubi/Tsubi has the best skinny jeans, which are perfect for fall. Grey Ant I have found through a recent purchase of mine have really great high waisted denim jeans. William Rast and Acne, which are those of the few denim designers who's jeans I've never purchased or even tried on but I've heard they have a really great fit. Sass and Bide, also another great designer of skinny jeans, I love thier Hulsey jeans amazing fit. I am always looking out for new great denim designer so if you know of any feel free to let me know or if you have any questions about any designers or would like to me to recommend other designers feel free to ask!!

Thanks for your sweet comments, darling! ♥

Oh gosh, me too. I was denim obsessed all through College/Uni. And then they all got put away into tupperwares for safe keeping. Summers in Florida are just far too hot for them. :/ Soon they became forgotten, and I found myself gravitating to the same 2 pairs.. I only used to buy high premium, (7famk, true religion, hudson, frankie b. rich & skinny, etc.) so when Fall/Winter rolls around, I'll have something to look forward to. I even have one tupperware for just Skinny jeans. <3

You made an excellent post. I love the pictures. xx

I love how you have such a wide variety of jeans. I wear nothing but skinnies because I've forgotten how to wear regular flared out jeans. (I know -- isn't that disgusting?) I do have a few pairs of lovely pants though... but lately, I've been living in shorts & tights. :]

You look smashing.

A la Femme said...

Thank you all for comments.

I do love Citizens and how could I forget Frankie B. Thanks Fashion Chalet and Jenny.

Apricot T, although you may not wear flares often you look fabulous in shorts and tights.
