Denim Reviewing: Kate Slim Straight in a size 27

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

DL 1961 really knows how to fit a woman’s body. That basically sums up how I feel about the fit of my Kate Slim Straight denim. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I thought it was impossible to find denim that actually fit both my waist and thigh/booty area. I think most woman face this challenge when searching for that perfect pair of jeans and I think DL 1961 is solving the dilemma. The fit on my denim was form fitting but not too-tight throughout the waist, thighs, booty, and all the way down to the ankle. I also loved the straight leg, as opposed to the super skinny cut. From a fit perspective, it’s a slight variation on recent trends, which I absolutely love.

Where would you wear this denim to?

I wore this denim on all day holiday shopping excursion that followed a long day at work. Because of the nature of my job, I do have look fashionable, but I also have to be ready to go anywhere at the drop of a hat. That said, I love being able to wear nice denim because it’s trendy and comfortable at the same time. Plus, I also wanted to wear something that would be appropriate for battling the crazy holiday crowds. I chose to wear the DL 1961′s I am so glad I did. The stretch in the denim made them perfect for my last minute shopping and the chic wash and cut made them perfect for my morning shoot. I usually have to change my clothes 3-4 times a day, and I’ve grown to hate what I call costume changes. Having one piece that can easily be integrated into various environments makes my day!

How would you style this denim?

I’m a California girl through and through, so I am all about keeping things casual in the style department. That said, I love a pair of jeans that can be dressed up! I think that this denim can be styled in a variety of ways. The dark wash and form-fitting cut works great with knee high boots, booties, flats and even platform pumps. These jeans have great, sturdy belt loops too, which may sound like a silly observation, but some jeans are not meant to be worn with a belt. These however, definitely can be worn with or without a belt, which is great! Overall these DL’s would look awesome with a tunic, a sweater or even a plain white tank. Versatility is in full effect when it comes to styling options!

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

When the Denim Guy gave me this pair of denim, he was 100 percent confident that I would love them. In his experience, he told me, DL 1961 looks amazing on all body types. Of course I took his word for it, because after all he is the professional, and I’m happy to report that once again he is correct! Recently a few of the other TV hosts I work with were wearing DL 1961 denim, and I really loved them, but I’d not tried on a pair until the Denim Guy encouraged me to do so. I love how he is confident about what he’s doing so I don’t have to stress about finding the right size or cut. I know it may seem strange initially to have someone fit you for clothes you wear everyday, but tons of women spend hours, days, and even months getting fitted for wedding gowns that they only wear once. I think that if we all invested just a fraction of that time with the Denim Guy we could look that good every single day-cheesy, but totally true!

Did you get picked up on in your new denim?

Granted, it may not have been the man I was hoping for, but yes everyone, I did get a bit of a cat-call from the garbage collector in my new DL1961′s. And I’m not going to lie, it was actually kind of flattering!

Does your new denim help you channel a new alter ego?

My alter ego in this denim is a woman who can really do it all-that’s what this denim screams. It’s for that everywoman kind of the woman. The college student, the executive, the party animal, the mom, the traveller. When you put them on, you really feel like like you could go anywhere and look great!
