A good pair of jeans find a special place in the closet, to be readily available to slip on at any time of the day or night.  Your favourite jeans always wash up again and again, and you wear them till the threads start to fray, the knees become worn and the cuffs becomes ragged.  Sometimes, you can stretch a little more life from your favourite jeans by cutting them into shorts.  At other times, they can only be stowed away in your secret memory box, so you can visit them from time to time, to sigh and remember when.

What makes one pair of jeans the all time best pair you’ve ever owned?  Comfort.  Fit.  Appearance.  A pair of jeans that not only feel good, but also look good on you.  That’s the perfect pair of blue jeans.  Some women take years trying to find just the right pair.  In reality, the search shouldn’t take that long.  Once you know what makes a pair of jeans great, you’ll have no trouble locating a pair that’s “the one”.

  1. Fabric is Everything:  Not all denim is created equal.  Some denims have been worn smooth, while others always wear hard and stiff.  Comfortable jeans don’t chafe and have flexibility and movement.  Stretchy denim is best, so look for jeans that have some elastin fibres woven into the fabric.  Lycra and spandex are among the most popular.  Not only does it make your jeans fit nice and smooth, but it helps them maintain their shape wear after wear after wear. 

 

  1. Get the Right Length:  Unless you’re specifically looking for calf length or cargo jeans, they should reach all the way down to the top of your foot.  Jeans are sized according to the inseam, so to get the best length, measure your inside leg all the way down to the bottom of your ankle, just past the ankle bone.  A good fitting pair of jeans make your legs look long and sexy, so don’t buy them too short.  Also don’t assume your regular pant size will be the same for your jeans.  Measure to be sure. 

 

  1. Get the Waist Right:  Not everyone is built to wear hip hugging jeans that ride low.  If you have a nice smooth belly, these jeans will work for you.  Otherwise, you should find a pair that fits at or slightly above the waist.  Not only does this add to your appearance, it’s more comfortable to wear jeans that have a waist line which matches your body type. 

 

As long as you follow these basic blue jean rules, you are ready to shop till you drop.  Find yourself that perfect pair of comfortable blue jeans, to wash and wear again and again.  After all, a good pair of jeans are more than just pants, they are a comforting friend.
