One of our favourite denim brands, IDA, has provided an excellent “Top 20 Tips For Buying Jeans”, written by the lady herself – Donna Ida. Considered the “Jean Queen of London”, Donna’s tips are well worth paying attention to. She outlines suggestions for what style will best suit your body type. For example, petite women particularly suit a high-waisted jean, which is also the style best for curvy/pear-shaped ladies looking for a skinny fit. However, if you are worried about them making your bottom look longer, opt for a jean with a yoke (the stitching at the back below the waistband). These tips are aided by Donna’s video blog, IDA TV, where she goes into more detail about what you should look out for in 1 minute clips. Other very helpful tips include care instructions (wash your jeans on a cold wash, “that’s not 30 degrees”), and tips for alterations. The UK appears to be filled with those of us who are somewhat vertically-challenged, meaning it can be very difficult to find jeans that fit. We will try on a pair that fit perfectly everywhere but there will be yards of denim cascading from our ankles over our feet, and it’ll be enough to see us walk out the store sad and empty-handed. Alterations alterations alterations. They “can give you the perfect jeans.” Then when having your jeans hemmed, make sure they are measured from the heal to avoid them coming back too short. We all find jean-shopping an often daunting task; these tips will make your life that bit easier. janedavidson.co.uk/idas-top-jean-tips/
