Three Tips for Customizing a Pair of Jeans to Make Them Perfect for You

by Bojana Graus

If you have found a pair of denim jeans that you absolutely love, but they are not perfect for you, do not be afraid to buy them and have them customized to fit your personality perfectly. There are many things that can be done to jeans to make them the perfect pair of jeans for you. Use the guide below to learn a few ways that jeans can be customized to create a unique look that suits you.

Have the Pants Hemmed

One huge problem that many people see when it comes to pants is the length of the pants. Pants should be hemmed to fit your body specifically if you want to have a tailored look when you wear them. There are not many people who can buy a pair of jeans off of the rack and have them be the perfect length. When you take the jeans to a tailor, he or she will take measurements to determine exactly where the jeans need to be hemmed.

Have the Pants Taken In

Another huge problem that many women have when it comes to finding the perfect set of jeans is that the waist of the jeans doesn't fit properly. This means that there is a huge gap at the waist of the jeans when they bend over. This can be very embarrassing. A properly fitted pair of jeans should not have a huge gap at the waist when you bend over. A tailor can determine how much of the waist needs to be taken in to ensure that the pants fit snugly without fitting so snugly that you look like you have a muffin top.

Change the Color of the Jeans

There are times when some jeans actually fit quite well but just aren't the right color to suit your style. If you are not ecstatic about the color of a pair of jeans, consider dying them a different color that allows you to express yourself better. You can buy denim dye at any craft store. Once you have found a color you like, all you have to do is add water to the tub, add dye according to the directions, and place the pants directly into the dye. Allow them to sit until they turn the shade you like the most, and then wash them like you normally would. When they dry, they will have a new look that is perfect for you.

Do not be afraid when it comes to being creative with your wardrobe. Customizing jeans is not expensive to do and can create a very finished look that is eye-catching and unique. Try on a variety of jeans, such as American made jeans by All USA Clothing, so you can find the brand and style that works best for you.

About Me

Finding Appropriate Attire

For years, I worked for a company that didn't care much about what I showed up in for work. I would wear really casual clothing, such as a tank top and a pair of cut off shorts. Unfortunately, once I got a better job, my new employer was less-than-enthused about my choice of duds. She explained that they were trying to make the customers feel comfortable and improve the store culture and asked that I wear more professional attire. I started shopping for items that would look neutral, and I was able to find some pieces that I looked great in. Check out this blog to learn more about finding appropriate attire.
