How To Style Best Jeans Ever — How to style the Best Jeans Ever

The Best Jeans Ever

It came to my attention recently that a pair of good black jeans is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe. My quest for the ideal black Jean was not going well is an understatement! Since having my children my body shape has changed considerably. With that in mind I have had to really think about what style I need to get. So here is my dilemma I have skinny legs, small hips but I have a jelly belly! I’m not ashamed to admit that my stomach could do with a little attention. I have had three children and three C-Sections in the last eight years. What can I say it’s a work in progress, but for now it’s with me and I have to take it into consideration when purchasing any of my clothes to make sure they work for me.

The Hunt For The Best Jeans Ever

Over the last few years I have bought three pairs of Black Jeans and each time they loose their shape or fade and they are always so long! Even when I have bought a 30 ins length they are still a good 3 ins too long. So after wasting all that money I decided enough is enough I will spend a little more and get something that will last. This is where I turn too a brand that I have been wearing for over 20 years. It is one of my favourite Jeans maker, Levis. Over the years Levi always seems to evolve and move with the fast pace of fashion and keep bringing great pieces over, and over again. I was visiting Manchester and decided today would be the day to take the plunge. Now by no stretch of the imagination this is not a eye watering sum of money, but for me to splurge any amount on myself when you have a family is hard to curb the ‘mum guilt’.

Found Best Jeans Ever

When I tried on the Jeans I knew that these were the one, Levis 711 Skinny Jeans. They are tight but comfy, stretchy but when you bend there are no imprints left in the knees. The material is soft and thick and very robust. They flatter and hold all day long. The science bit is the material contains 1% Elastane. Elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. Elastane thus is a prerequisite for fashionable or functional apparel such as supportive underwear which is intended to cling to the body, while at the same time remaining comfortable. So we could say that these Jeans are like a Spandex for your bottom, thighs and legs!!. They truly are “The Best Jeans Ever”. If that wasn’t enough, Levi’s also offer a in house alterations service. So my jeans could be fitted to my ideal leg length.

Styling My Levi’s

I have styled my Levis four different ways to show how versatile these Jeans are, which in turn makes them such an essential item in your wardrobe. Let the styling BEGIN!

January Sales Picks

I have finally got round to writing about My January Sales Picks. If you play your cards right and do your homework before you go shopping in the sales, you are guaranteed to get in and get out in one piece! I have been formulating a capsule wardrobe for a while, so I have a list of items of clothes that I would like to add and these two were way up the top of my list.

Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack

Faux Fur

My first January Sales Picks is this gorgeous Faux Fur Gilet from George @ Asda (similar). It was in the sale and when I tried it on it felt RIGHT. I was looking for a Gilet to wear for those occasions when a big old thick coat would just hinder you. For example clothes shopping, I don’t know whether it is an unspoken rule that retailers have (it certainly wasn’t back in my day ) to have the changing rooms at a tropical mid 90deg! I regularly get hot and irritable when this happens and I think it just ruins the experience, especially if it’s valuable baby free time. So the Gilet is perfect for this as you can pop it on and still have the warmth but it’s light enough, and with it being sleeveless they act like air vents allowing air to flow freely. Great little piece that will take you through to Spring.

Fur Gilet and Black Leather Rucksack

The Rucksack

I teamed this outfit with a Navy Fedora from H&M (similar) , black skinny jeans from Primark, Bardot Boots from Topshop and a navy polar neck from Zara. Oh yeah and The Rucksack. This is my second January Sale Pick. This is such a different direction for me but it makes you feel alive if you try something that scares you each day. O.k maybe that saying wasn’t applying to bags, but to get the idea. This bag made me feel like I was a teenager again. When I bought the ‘baby home’ my husband and I had a full blown discussion on how we would have held the bag back in the day. One strap over one shoulder, holding by the top handle and my favourite towards the end of my time at High School, both straps on both shoulders! This bag made so much sense to me now as I had been using a more constructed bag of late, but couldn’t fit hardly anything in it. I have also got rid of the baby’s bag a few months ago and replaced it with a Peppa Pig, which the bubs loves, but I am not down with carrying a dressed pig about!. So I thought a Rucksack would give me enough space to fit my stuff and his juice cup nappy and wipes. This Rucksack is from Marks and Spencer their Autograph range which comes out with a few simple, well made staple pieces, and this is one of them. Real leather and has gold hardware, simple but effective. Sadly they have sold out but I have put a similar one here.

Marl Joggers, Black Top, Pointed Court Shoes, Leather Jacket and Black Leather Rucksack

The Fleck Marl Joggers

My final January Sales Picks is these ‘smart’ Joggers. I have been looking for these for about 9 months now, when I found this pair which took me by surprise where I found them. They are from Marks and Spencer Lounge wear! Yes they are Pyjamas!! They are a Fleck Grey Marl with a black waist band and black ankle cuffs. They are so comfy, obviously! but throw a pair of heels and a suit jacket and you are good for work. Put them with hi tops and a leather jacket as (seen above) or even a pair of shoe boots would work well too. I love these because they are so versatile. These are also out of stock but I found a great alternative here.
