Denim Reviewing: Kasil , the Benatar Hepburn in a size 26

How it fits in the waist, crotch, butt and thighs ?

These jeans are amazing! They are not overly tight anywhere on my body and fit just perfect! The fit totally outlines my body without looking too baggy or too tight anywhere. The crotch area doesn’t hang too low so it really looks like the jeans were altered perfectly for my body when in reality no alterations were needed at all! The cut on the bottom of the jeans also really makes them wearable with any type of shoe and has a unique outline to it. It doesn’t look like the jeans “strangle” my ankle but instead slightly cover the top of my foot, which helps because I have a tattoo on my foot, which at times needs hiding at my job! They accentuated every good part about my lower body, especially my thighs. I loved the fact that they made my thighs look skinnier without looking too tight. Another major plus about these jeans is that they don’t hang low when I bend down so no one gets a peep show of my underwear!

Where would you wear this denim to?

I have already worn my Kasil’s multiple times. I wore them to a family dinner with some Calvin Klein strappy high heels and they looked absolutely amazing! They made my legs look so much longer which made my family wonder if I went through a growth spurt at the age of 26. I paired them with a basic black top and cardigan. The amazing outline on the bottom of the jeans made them not look awkward in any way pairing them with such high shoes. I also wore them during the day with some Juicy Couture flats and a plain tee shirt while Christmas shopping. Even wearing them with flats they looked like they were altered especially for me. They did not drag at all on the floor (which is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to denim because it just ruins a good pair of jeans and looks like they don’t fit you at all!). I was in target Christmas shopping and was approached by a young lady asking me what kind of jeans I was wearing. She said she was curious because we had similar body shapes (we are both short but with somewhat long legs for being so short) and she really liked how they looked on me. We both knew exactly how hard it is to find jeans that fit so great so I think I recruited a new fan of Kasil jeans!

How would you style this denim?

I’m a simple girl but I am a shoe fanatic! I love dark denim and would pair this denim with either some cute flashy heels at night and some comfortable flats during the day! I love wearing gladiator sandals as well because they are also so comfortable. I think these jeans can easily be paired with anything because the fit makes them so appealing to everyone!

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

The Denim Guy and I go way back but he has never fitted me for jeans before. I haven’t seen him in about 8 years and was a little nervous about giving him what I thought was my size over the phone. Doing what he does best he asked a close friend of mine what size she thought I would be and looked at pictures of me and was able to come up with a proper size. As soon as I walked in to get fitted by him he looked at me and instantly knew he had chosen the correct size for me and that the size I had given him over the phone was wrong. I had heard of Kasil jeans before getting fitted by him but did not own a pair. The Denim Guy had a stack of jeans for me to try on and as I showed him how they fit he instantly knew what looked good and what did not. My biggest surprise was that he knew my correct size just by looking at pictures of me, which amazed me!! I wish I could take him jean shopping with me every time because I look back and think I have wasted money on unflattering fitting jeans!

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

I feel like a 9 ½. The remaining ½ will come in when I buy more amazing shoes to wear with my amazing denim! I felt great wearing my new jeans and I feel like maybe it’s time to invest in some more proper fitting denim!!

How does your old denim compare to your new stuff? Any salvation army visits to get rid of the old denim?

There will definitely be some Salvation Army visits coming up! I now realize that I own jeans that are about 2 or 3 sizes too big for me and I probably look ridiculous wearing them! My old denim doesn’t even compare to my new denim. I feel like a fashionista ready to strut my stuff and not feel so self-conscious about how I look doing it! I feel like my major denim dilemma was fixed and in good timing…at the start of a brand new year!
