| Five classic ways to style blue jeans - British GQ Posted: 24 May 2020 04:00 AM PDT Most people don't give blue jeans a second thought. They're just a regular wardrobe staple, right, something you can throw on for ease and comfort? Well, yes, but that's not to diminish their role as the most adaptable item of clothing in your sartorial arsenal. Worn with the right items, they have the power to make (or indeed break) a look. But before you think about styling your jeans, we must emphasise the importance of cut. Wider jeans work best for those on the shorter or, ahem, wider side, while flared jeans are best for those with taller, slimmer frames. Skinny jeans are a no-go for everyone, while straight cuts work on most: not too wide, not too tight and the perfect way to ensuring a slimmer, well-proportioned lower half (and the higher the waist, the better). So you've sourced your blue jeans. Brill. Now what do you mix them with? With emphasis on the word "classic", we're not bringing hoodies into this. Instead, we're here to show you how to make your staple trousers look as stylish as possible, whether it be through an injection of tailoring or with a refined nod to the 1990s. Oh, and be sure to check out our guide on the best jeans afterwards. 1. The (semi) formal way Sure, jeans might first and foremost be linked to casual clothes, but they're also the perfect answer to tone down a formal look. Still keep it smart on top by layering a crisp white shirt (Turnbull & Asser is best) with a knitted tie (courtesy of Drake's) and single-breasted blazer (pinstripe is safe, but you could equally opt for houndstooth). A lower half of straight-cut denim will then shift this all into a more relaxed and slightly Ivy-League uniform, best finished with some traditional brown suede loafers. An easy win. 2. The preppy way Picture Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr Ripley: he's wearing an Italian knit complete with white linen trousers and leather loafers. A very summery (and winning) look, but replace those loose kecks with straight-cut jeans and you have the most elegant way of styling your denim essential. The knit brings three things: colour (done the right way), a jazz touch (this top piece was a favourite for 1960s musicians) and, attitude-wise, a nice amount of insouciance. Wear it buttoned up and tucked into your jeans or, if it's warmer, leave it open and style a white vest underneath. As for the footwear? Gucci loafers (with white socks underneath if you dare). 3. The 1990s way The 1990s was confirmation that jeans could look sharp in a casual habitat. The key is slotting them into a frame of well-crafted – and slightly oversized – layers. Start with a mock turtleneck – Fred Perry's above design is a stylish short-sleeved option that also acknowledges the decade's famed athleisure – and make sure it's a tad baggy. Over this, a long (and well-tailored) overcoat. Bottega Veneta is a brilliant option; again, go for a bigger size and leave it open to reveal the relaxed details beneath. And to finish? Simple white pumps – if they're eco friendly, even better – and a long scarf, ideally in a primary shade for a pop of colour. 4. The Western way As much of a statement as it is, pairing your denim jeans with a denim jacket scores you high points on the uniform scale, as you're sticking to one texture, one shade and a refined silhouette. Those two ensemble pieces are the biggest topic in your style conversation, so for the rest of the outfit, keep things relatively simple. For a base layer, a white T-shirt (trade this in for a turtleneck if it's a bit colder outside and always tuck it into your jeans). For a stylish centrepiece, a camel suede belt and, for shoes, brown suede boots. Those last two especially will bring a subtle little nod to Westernwear and that's never a bad idea. 5. The transitional way Searching for a blue jean style move to transition from day to night? Mix them up with leather. Any style of jacket is likely to work – shirt, blazer, motorcycle – but for the most effortless, we recommend a sharp take on the bomber, ideally with a battered look to it. Keep this unzipped and pair a muted khaki shirt underneath (leave the top two buttons undone and pull them out slightly over your jacket). Tuck this into the waist of your jeans, wrap a black leather belt around and finish the outfit with leather shoes. Black boots would definitely work, but we're favouring a bolder move here, so have a go of some white Repettos. They'll certainly trigger your best dance moves.

| How often should you wash your jeans? - SFGate Posted: 20 May 2020 10:53 AM PDT 
Photo: Levi Strauss & Co When it comes to washing, most of us are not doing enough. Sheets? At least once every two weeks, possibly more. Towels? Dish towels after every use and bath towels after every three uses. Clothing? Well, it depends. Your jeans are a special case. Let's dig in. How often should I wash my jeans?We shed dead skin cells every day and expose our bodies to pollutants when we go outside. But when it comes to traditional denim, you don't need to wash your jeans that often. Trust one of the world's oldest and most beloved jean brands to give advice on how often to wash denim. If you're wearing denim jeans, Levi's suggests washing them every 10 wears. You can even go longer, according to the brand, and can wear them until they smell funky. But maybe don't wait until you're the smelly kid to wash your jeans. The reason you should wash your jeans after the 10-wear mark is to maintain shape and fit. You don't want jeans to get too soft and worn in, especially if they're a fitted. If you're going for that slounchy look, you can certainly get away with a few more wears between washes. To clean jeans between washes, you can use a damp cloth or old tooth brush with soap and water. That's an easy solution for getting out small stains to avoid putting your denim into the washing machine if it doesn't need to go in there quite yet. Raw denim is another beast altogether; denimheads have lots of differering opinions on how to treat raw denim jeans. But if you're buying raw denim, then you've probably already researched, and this article won't apply to you. How do I wash my denim jeans?Again, if you have true denim jeans and not jeggings, you'll need to wash with care. Now is not the time to throw your clothes into hot water and a hot dryer without reading the care label. Follow the instructions to make sure you're properly washing your denim.
If you're lookiong for jeans that'll last for years, you can always get a pair of men's Athletic Slim Levi's. Or you can go with something like the classic 501 or 505. For ladies seeking a simple fit that hugs your curves, the Everlane Curvy Cheeky Straight Jean will look great.
