I lived in jeans and denim as a teenager, I rarely wore anything but baggy, shapeless numbers or outrageous flares.
During the first couple of years of my twenties I rebelled and refused to wear jeans in any shape or style, or if I did it was because I had nothing else clean. I don’t know why I went off it in such an extreme way but all of a sudden denim didn’t appeal.
Now I’m older, more confident in my style and how I look and I find myself browsing jeans on a regular basis, dreaming of finding the perfect skinny fit or just baggy enough boyfriend style.
I’m on a tight budget, my most recent purchase was a pair of super skinnies from Primark costing a mere £9. They fit nice now but I don’t have high hopes for how long that’ll last. I think the most expensive pair of jeans I own come from Oasis and even then they were under the £50 mark.
With my mission to become healthier well under way I’ve decided that when my body reaches where it needs to be I’m going to splurge on some decent jeans, make the investment and wear them with pride. The right pair of jeans can take you seamlessly from day to night and will never lose their shape or go out of style.
This weekend I spent a while persuing the Trilogy stores website and came up with this little wishlist, which whilst not all denim or jeans does include some investment buys from denim geniuses Current Elliot and fashion favourite Rag and Bone jeans.
What are people’s thoughts on jeans? Something to invest in or a more throwaway fashion?
If you’ve taken the plunge and invested I’d love to know which brands you went for and how it felt to spend so much.
Oh, and if anyone has any denim disasters to share- I’m all for being amused!
