DENIM REVIEWING: GENETIC DENIM,The Shane/Cigarette in a Size 27

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

I LOVE THIS FIT! I know the use of caps in the previous sentence may seem a little over the top, but the emphasis is there for a big reason. The fit on this denim is difficult to rival. Almost never can I find a pair of jeans that actually fit my waist, as well as my thigh/booty area, but the Shane is perfect all around. And to top things off, they are incredibly comfy. The stretch in the fabric extends all the way through the ankle, making it easy wear socks underneath without cutting off circulation to my entire calf (yes, I swear this has happened to me before). Perhaps the best part about this particular style, and something I’ve never personally experienced, is the 86-ing (aka getting rid of) the front pockets. What a genius idea! I want to hug the person who thought this up! Who ever really uses those pockets anyways? They only make the fit uncomfortable and add unneeded bulk. That little extra space just intensifies the comfort level of this fit.

Where would you wear this denim to?

After trying this denim on, I didn’t want to take it off. I was basically like that little kid at the shoe store who begs their mom to let them wear their new shoes out the door. Thankfully the Denim Guy allowed me to be a kid again and wear my new Genetic grey denim out the door. Of course I did just that, and then I refused to remove them (except to shower of course) for the next three days. Yes, I can admit it; I fell in love with this denim. Being that it is the holiday season, I had the opportunity to wear my new Genetics to a wide variety of locations such as: my local Trader Joe’s, a bar in San Francisco, and a holiday dinner with my family at home. At each of these events I received great feedback on my new denim, especially on the fit and wash in particular. Everyone was completely intrigued by the no-front-pocket component, after which I could see the wheels turning and everyone trying to figure out how to score a pair of their own!

How would you style this denim?

The denim gives off that vibe that says “Yeah, I’m casual, but I’m definitely not a mess.” That’s always my goal, because there is NOTHING worse that someone who looks like they are trying too hard! The grey wash on the Shane is so fun and right on trend, so naturally I tried them out with all of my shoes: flat knee-high boots, ankle boots, flats, and cons. Every single look “worked.” That’s the best part about what Genetic does; from a styling perspective it’s always amazing to have a one item of clothing that can easily be paired with things you already have and still look fresh and amazing. The added bonus is that you feel like you’re wearing pajamas because you’re so incredibly comfortable!

Describe your experience in letting the Denim Guy fit you?

The fact that the Denim Guy fitted me in this particular pair of Genetic Denim shows that he really does know what he’s doing. I mentioned a few minor things that I look for in denim and the fact that I’d yet to find that perfect pair of skinny stretch jeans. Well, I don’t think I’ll be looking any further because the Genetics totally delivered what I feel like I’ve been looking for forever! I wasn’t surprised that I liked what he chose for me, but it’s so refreshing to work with someone who really listens to what you want and pays attention, and then delivers the goods. I’m all about simplifying my chaotic life, and that’s just what the Denim Guy does!

Were you familiar with the brand before the fitting?

Because I work in the entertainment industry, I was already very aware of Genetic Denim-all of the hottest celebs are constantly photographed wearing the brand and now I personally understand why

Who did your new jeans make you want to channel?

When I threw on my Genetic denim, I was totally channeling Kristen Stewart! I know she’s a fan of the line and I’m a fan of hers. She always looks like she could really care less about what people think about her and I find that so refreshing. But despite that fact, she also has a defined personal style. I’m still looking for Robert Pattinson to appear somewhere, but perhaps that will happen in the near future, or maybe not….haha!

How does your old denim compare to your new stuff?

My old denim does not even begin to compare with this denim. I’ve already held a little mini-denim funeral for some of the stuff I know has to go. The too-tight or too stretchy or just flat-out ugly stuff has to go!
