The Denim Guy

Name: Ashley

AGE: 26

PROFESSION: Program Assistant/M.Ed. Student, both at USC

How does the denim fit in the waist, crotch, butt and thighs?

Awesome mid rise (holla for no muffin top, and a mid-rise that isn’t the least bit reminiscent of a “mom” jean), pockets were not too big (and also not so small they make your butt look giant by comparison), no gapping at the waist, and plenty of room in the thigh.  These jeans had a great fit, snug without being tight, yet still comfortable.

Where would you wear this denim to?

I’d wear this denim to work, out to dinner with a cute top and heels, out shopping, or even to travel in.  I don’t want to look like a hot mess in the airport, but I still need to be comfortable and I think these jeans would create the perfect balance.

How would you style this denim?

I love to wear dark denim with a bright colored shoe. I worship at the altar of the high heel, so I can’t wait to wear them with my hot pink d’orsays or red suede peep toes. On top, I tend to go basic (black/white tank and if I’m at work I’ll layer with a longer grandfather cardigan) and dress it up a bit with chunky bracelets and/or long necklaces.

Describe your experience in letting the Denim Guy fit you?  Were you familiar with the brand before the fitting?

I was familiar with the brand before fitting, and because they have such a range of styles, rises, rinses, etc., I was excited to see what I’d be trying on!  The Denim Guy was able to pick the right pair to fit my body type just right.  I struggle to find jeans that fit well (don’t sag in the butt, aren’t too short, tight in the thigh, but big in the waist, etc.), but these jeans fit like a glove!  I was surprised he was able to find the right pair just by our conversations through email and phone.  Couldn’t have done it better myself!

On a scale of 1-10, how hot did you feel walking down the street in your new denim?

I felt like a 9 ½ .  I reserve that extra half point for the day when I get my long blonde locks back and my hair can swing and sway as much as my hips do when I rock these jeans.  But in all honesty, give me these pants, some sick shoes, and a sidewalk, and I will strut like you wouldn’t believe.

How did your significant other react to your new look?

My boyfriend loved my new jeans.  The fact that he noticed that I was wearing something new was a good sign.  He not-so-conspicuously grabbed my ass at a family party, so I’d say the jeans were doing great things for me.  And him.

Who did your new jeans make you want to channel? Heidi Klum or Scarlett Johanasen?

Considering my girl crush on Scarlett Johannson, I’d love to think I struck the balance between curvy and sexy slim in these jeans.  As much as I want a pair of ankle length skinny or straight pants, they are my fashion kryptonite (I’ve been “blessed” with calves the size of a small child’s head) .  The bootcut of these jeans elongated my leg and made my ass look pretty damn good.  These jeans are totally classic, I love the fact that they won’t go out of style.
