Rocker Chic Fashion Tips

Rocker Chic Fashion Tips

Rocker chic basically refers to the style of clothing worn by members of modern day rock bands. Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne and Madonna are just a couple of women who are prime example of the rocker chic look. As opposed to traditional outfits and attire, rocker chic tends to go away from designer and name brand clothing and places more emphasis on unique pieces. Remember, most fashionable rockers don’t wear polo shirts with a pair of khakis. While there’s nothing wrong with wearing this, it’s pretty far from the ideal rocker chic look. Worn Jeans Worn and slightly faded jeans are an excellent choice for the rocker chic look. Not only are they stylish, but a pair of worn-in jeans are comfortable as well. You don’t have to go ripping them to shreds, but instead wash them about half a dozen times until they begin to fade and look worn. If you don’t have the time or energy necessary to wash your jeans this many times, you can purchase worn jeans from certain stores. T-Shirt Find a unique t-shirt that expresses your personality or likes in one way or another. If you’re having trouble coming up with something, think about what rock members wear and try to find something similar. There’s really no right or wrong way to choose a rocker chic t-shirt. Just stay away from plain designs and choose more unique looks. When in doubt, you can always wear a t-shirt with the name or logo of your favorite band on it. Accessorize Accessorizing is an important step in achieving the perfect rocker chic look. Avoid wearing...
Did You Know? Fun Facts About Denim Jeans

Did You Know? Fun Facts About Denim Jeans

Americans Love Jeans Denim has become a staple fashion item for Americans. Whether you’re a man, woman, young or old, you probably own at least one pair of jeans, if not several. According to a recent presentation made by Amir Akhtar, CEO of Arvind Lifestyle Fabrics, North America accounts for 39% of the global denim market, which is far more than any other region. The second biggest consumer of denim is Western Europe (20%), followed by Japan & Korea (10%), and the rest of the world (31%). This presentation attests to the time-honored American traditional of wearing denim. Levi Strauss and The Gold Rush Born February 26, 1829 in Buttenheim, Germany, Levi Strauss, is said to be the inventor of the blue jeans. The truthfulness of this statement, however, remains up for debate. What we do know about the iconic and influential founder of the renowned denim company Levi Strauss & Co. is that he started out selling clothes to hopeful prospectors during the California Gold Rush of 1848. The Strauss family moved out to west to open a dry goods store, which was an immediate hit among the locals and travelers alike. But the Strauss’ business took off when thousands of people from across the world began pouring in to California in hopes of finding gold. Levi and his family produced denim jeans, purses, combs, handkerchiefs and other dry goods which he sold to the prospectors during this time. Jean-Gabriel Eynard Helped Coined The Term ‘Blue Jeans’ The term “blue jeans” has roots dating back more than two centuries. In the late 1700s, a Swiss banker named Jean-Gabriel...
Dry vs Washed Denim: What’s The Difference?

Dry vs Washed Denim: What’s The Difference?

While there are dozens of different styles of denim, they can all be broken down into one of two categories: dry (also known as raw) or washed. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of jeans, a jacket, or any other denim garment, you should familiarize yourself with these two types and their respective characteristics. Only then will you be able to decide which denim is right for you. Dry Denim   The term “dry denim” refers to any jeans or garment comprised of unwashed denim. It’s not uncommon for companies to wash their denim to create a slightly worn-in look, which is preferable to many men and women. Dry denim, however, features a more even color and tone throughout the fabric. This makes it a popular choice for people who are looking to achieve a more formal attire. It’s important to note that dry denim is still dyed to achieve its characteristic blue coloring. Just because a pair of jeans is labeled raw/dry doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s dye-free. Even dry denim must be dyed to create its distinct color. We at MakeYourOwnJeans sell 2 types of Dry Denim. 1) Selvedge Denim Jeans 2) Raw Unwashed Jeans (Non Selvedge) Washed Denim On the other side of the fence is “washed denim,” which as the name suggests refers to any jeans or garment comprised of denim that’s been washed. Most denim garments are machine washed to make them softer, reduce shrinkage, and to create a more desirable look. When denim jeans are washed, it creates the artificially distressed appearance. This includes fading in areas such as the thighs, ankles,...
