MY/DENIM jeans fits and finishes
When it comes to jeans we all know the basics, which is that they’re made of denim, a sturdy cotton fabric woven in a twill pattern, which gives it its signature diagonal ribbing. It’s typically dyed with indigo to create the classic blue jeans look, but it actually comes in a variety of colours and washes. Denim also happens to be super durable and timeless which is why we all love our trusty denim jeans so much! But here at My Jewellery we like to expand the boundaries of your fashion horizons every once in a while, enter: our MY/DENIM jeans. These aren’t just your regular, trusty pair of 100% cotton denims, these have been elevated to add joy and style to your wardrobe.
What kind of denim fit options are there?
In terms of fit our range features everyone’s fave: the high-waisted wide-leg style. This particular style is a firm favourite amongst the fashion set as it is known for its flattering shape and leg elongating properties. But to mix things up a little we’ve now added THE fit of the season: the mid-rise, wide-leg. Falling just on the hip bone, this style is the perfect relaxed fit jean that screams ‘I just threw this on but I look cool anyway.’ We’ve also added an extra touch with a raw-edge that manages to elevate these jeans even more! Mid-rise jeans look perfect paired with some cool girl trainers and an oversized blazer and cap to really finish off your Copenhagen fashionista look.
Denim prints we love!
We simply can’t avoid animal prints this season, and we are so here for them! From the old-school classic: leopard print, to new kid on the block: zebra, we’ve gone feral for animal prints and the wild edge they give to a classic pair of jeans. If you really want to turn your outfit into a style party, an animal print pair of jeans is the way to go. Almost a neutral in their versatility and yet so much more expressive than a classic blue jean, an animal print says: I mean fashion business. Take a walk on the wild side in our animal print wide-leg jeans and discover just how easy a pair of animal print jeans will slot into your everyday wardrobe!
What kind of finishes are included in the collection?
When it comes to designing our latest denim collection we looked at ways in which we could surprise you, and decided that special finishes were the way to go! Our new range of jeans features classic stripes, fun eyelets, lots of contract and laser print designs. Laser printing is a technique used to create patterns, textures, and designs on denim fabric using laser technology. Instead of traditional methods like sandblasting or chemical treatments, these lasers burn away the indigo dye or alter the fabric’s surface to get effects like fading, distressing, or intricate patterns, and we all love a fun pattern or distressed detail in our jeans! Are you ready to amp up your jeans game? Get ahead of the curve and treat yourself to a new pair of our denim party jeans. It’s time to shake up the jeans game with MY/DENIM Collection!
What is the best way to wash jeans?
Check out our 76 best tips to washing your jeans, so you'll get years of wear out of them.
- Wash your jeans inside-out at 30 degrees & use a colour-safe detergent.
- Don't use fabric softener when washing your jeans, because this will affect the elasticity of your item and damage the quality of the fabric.
- Don't wash your embroidered or embellished jeans in a washing machine. Instead put the jeans in cold water (no detergent!) for 10 minutes.
- Less is more! Your jeans will stay in far better condition with minimal washing. Denim wears out much quicker with frequent washes.
- Don't put your jeans in the tumble dryer. The fibres in your denim will stay much stronger if you leave your jeans to air dry. Simply straighten them out and hang them up or lay them flat to dry.
- Turn your jeans inside-out when ironing them.
How to measure your jeans size?
Finding a pair of jeans that fits like a glove is the holy grail of fashion shopping, it’s what we always aim for. But have you ever actually figured out your ideal jeans size? Well, the answer is definitely worth knowing before buying any of our durable, 100% cotton denim styles. So, check out the following steps to figuring out your jeans size and you’ll soon be rocking a pair of jeans that look like they were made for you. The best part is: all you need is a measuring tape!
- Step 1. Measuring your waist size
Your waist is the 'narrowest' part of your upper body just under your ribs, pull the measuring tape from your back and pull it around the waist. Always make sure the measuring tape is straight, and don't pull it too tight, you want it around as tight as you'd like your jeans to be.
- Step 2. Measuring your hip size
The hip size is measured around the 'widest' part of your lower body. Set your feet next to each other in a natural position, then pull the measuring tape from behind over your bum to your front and across the widest area of your thighs. Again, make sure the tape is straight and not pulled too tight.
- Step 3. Measuring the inseam
The inseam is measured from the top of your inner thigh to just over the ankle, using a sturdy measuring tape. When measuring your inseam it’s best to stand straight and keep your legs in a natural position to avoid moving the length, so ask your sister, mum or friend to help you out! If there’s no one around to help you, find a pair of your favourite jeans that you know fit well and measure the inseam on those.
- Step 4. Check out our size guide
While the waist and inseam sizes are fairly standard, so once you’ve measured the three areas, you’ll get the best indication of your perfect size by checking out our handy size guide.
