The 10 best style strategies we’re ever heard
1. Consider buying one size smaller – Jeans can stretch 10% after moderate wear. So when trying them on, be sure they hug your body.
2. Buy two pairs - If you find a style you love, buy one and have it hemmed to wear with flats and keep the other long to wear with heels.
3. Choose a zipper over a button fly – It gives a cleaner, smoother look-no bunching.
4. Bring your favorite belt along when you shop - If you want to wear one, make sure the jean loops fit.
5. Wash and dry your jeans before any alterations – This will ensure that shrinkage is accounted for.
6. Keep the original hem – It may cost more, but for a seamless finish, request that the original hem be put back on.
7. Always wash in cold water – Warm water can cause shrinkage. (Turn them inside out to prevent fading.)
8. Skip fabric softener – It can break down the dye, leading to color loss.
9. Air-dry your jeans – Heat can shrink the fabric.
10. Dry-clean dressy jeans – This will keep the rinse darker and fresher-looking.
