How to wear and care for bright jeans and denim

Vibrant, bright jeans and denim are all the rage right now, but it’s a little tricky to figure out how to wear them. Even more difficult is how to wash and care for colourful denim! Here are some helpful tips on how to wear and care for bright jeans and denim.

1. Because colour alone is such a bold statement, ankle crops and skinny jeans are the best choice for most body types. Baggier cuts in bright and bold colours can be overwhelming, causing you to look larger than your actual size.

2. When wearing bright jeans and denim, your legs are the focal point. The safest way to wear bright denim jeans is to pair it with tops, cardigans and t-shirts in neutral colours.

3. Feeling bold and playful? Try pairing your bright denim with an added burst of colour. This can be as subtle as an accent cotton scarf or as bold as a cotton tunic in a contrasting colour.

Tips:

1.Make sure to read the label for recommended care prior to laundering.

2.Turn jeans inside-out before washing to minimize fading.

3.Wash bright denim jeans in cold water and consider using a cold water detergent for dark coloured clothing. Never use bleach.

4.If you use a stain removal product, always make sure you protect your bright denim jeans by pre-testing the effects of the stain removal technique on a hidden area of the garment.

5.Line drying works best to preserve the colour but follow with an air tumble run to restore the jeans to the best feel.


Try them on:

Another piece of advice is to be sure to try on multiple cuts and sizes in the dressing room. Don’t assume your size. There is such a wide range of silhouettes that your size may vary with each different fit.

You will feel better about your purchase if you take the time to try your jeans on before heading to check-out.

Find the right wash:

There are a variety of finishes and washes to choose from when shopping for jeans. Just like black pants instantly slim the body, a dark wash of denim will do the same thing! Dark denim can go from the office to a night out on the town.

Take good care:

Once you’ve found a pair in the perfect cut and colour, you can keep them in pristine shape by following these extra tips. Since jeans have a tendency to lose their shape after a couple of wearings, if your jeans have stretched, try throwing them in the dryer; they get right back into their original shape and hug your figure again.” Another tip is to wash your jeans in cold water and turn them inside out. This will make the color last longer.
