I love leggings! But my jeans are very important to me. And my experience thus far, regarding myself as well as my personal shopping clients, is that it's not as simple as grabbing your size and making sure they zip up. That is like blindly purchasing a pair of heels and just making sure they fit.
So when it comes to the brand new Alias Premium Denim line for women, I am completely enamored by its attractive details. The dark shade, the boot cut, the low waist, and the...cost! If you are used to purchasing jeans for $100 or more, you might want to think twice on your next pair. My "Sweet Dee" Alias Premium Denim jeans are $40!! They also perfect for packing. With a fine woven denim, this pant weighs just one pound, and saves room when folded up tightly in my gym bag. Speaking of gym, the "Sweet Dee" jean is the pant that will keep me sticking to my diet and regular kickboxing regimen. They are fitting, and I like 'em that way! I am a pair-shaped kinda woman, you know.
I am also loving that their return policy is customer-service driven, as the actual exchange or return is processed within 48 hours of receiving the concern. Proud to be the 'Good Girl Gone Shopping,' I am so happy to learn that this company has hit the market with the right philosophy: "SALES ARE NEVER FINAL UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED."
But before you head on over to www.aliasdenim.com (cause I know that you are most likely verifying that the very first Alias Premium Denim pant for sale is really retailing for only 40 bucks), I want you to really think for a sec: What do you look for in a jean?
To help give you a push in a healthy shopping direction, here are some important factors to consider before buying a new pair of jeans:
• Is there stretch? For women who have a "pear shape," some stretch is typically needed in order to fit the hips, thighs, and waist. Anywhere from 1% - 4% will make you quite comfortable. (The "Sweet Dee" jean offers a 2% give all over.)
• Is the length long enough or short enough for you? Be sure to have a clear idea of why and when you plan to wear them. Do you hope to find a fabulous fit for casual days with flats? Or, are you hoping to score a sleek pair to wear on the night out with the girls - which you may pair up with a 4-inch heel?
• Can you sit down without having to pull up the back? Simply put: low-waist jeans are not for everyone. But if you still go gaga over this sexy cut, like I do, be sure to pair them up with a longer top so it's a no-fuss situation. The last thing you want is to sit in a restaurant chair or bar stool and have your underwear show. Tacky!
• Do you have a price point? Sales associates are famous for showing you new collections of denim that you don't need. The jeans may be cute, but are they really practical for your budget? No matter what your limit is, try and stick to it before you wind up with an empty wallet. This is just not the day and age to give away your hard-earned dollar.
