White demin…so crisp, so cute, but such a conundrum. Why is something so cute on the hanger so difficult to find the right fit?
Answer:
THEY’RE WHITE!
White is not forgiving… which is why we all wear BLACK work out pants. “Black”- we love you. You flatter, even when one is a wee bit fatter. Denim Blue—we love you too. *Buy them tight, they stretch!
Ah Ha! Could that be my issue? I was shopping for white denim using rules for *dark denim. Normally, we buy our blue jeans super snug, right? We do. It works.
But in WHITE denim… super-snug CAN very easily turn Michelin Man.
So what if I just slipped on a pair one size up from the blue denim I wore to the store? Worth a try, right? I scooped up 3 or 4 different styles (necessary for ANY color jean) and wouldn’t you know it… the body skimming (not body hugging) fit made the difference.
Cute, crisp and no longer a conundrum, white jeans are a summer essential. (so is Oxiclean)
