Denim Reviewing Serfontaine Sweetheart Drainpipe in Twilite Wash in a size 27

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

First things first…let me say thank you denim gods for creating a little something called T-400! I am one hundred percent convinced that this stretch-inducing fabric component, partnered with the always fabulous Supima cotton, makes Serfontaine’s fit like a glove. They are form fitting throughout my waist, crotch, butt and thighs, but only in the best way possible. Translation: I can breath, I can move and MOST importantly there is absolutely NO muffin-top action going on!

Where would you wear this denim to?

The best part about this particular style and wash is the versatility factor. I love a good dark-wash denim; perfect for work, a casual weekend after-noon or heading out to a dinner with friends. More specifically, I really appreciate the ever so slight lightening affect on the thigh region and the subtly distressed look at the bottom of the leg. It makes this denim different, but in a subtle, classy fashion. I’ve worn these several times, and I’ve had three different people ask me where I got them and who made them. All three of these people said they liked the fit and that they could tell how comfortable I was.

How would you style this denim?

Like I already mentioned, the major selling point behind this denim is it’s versatility. I live in Los Angeles; that said, it’s no secret that good denim is at the very core foundation of our So-Cal style. This denim is slightly distressed, allowing me to still be able to dress it up for work or a night out. I plan to partner this denim with a flowy summer top and gladiator sandals. Or a pair of super casual flip flops and a tank for a walk outside or a day of window-shopping.

Were you familiar with the brand before the fitting?

I was completely unfamiliar with this brand before the Denim Guy’s introduction. Although now, I’ve begun to notice the brand name more here and there. With such an impeccable fit and flawless quality, I imagine it’s only a matter of time before I start seeing Serfontaine with much more frequency. This is the second style I’ve had the opportunity to “test out” and I couldn’t be more pleased with the appeal of both looks. They were completely different, but each appealing in their own ways.

Describe your experience in letting the Denim Guy fit you? What surprised you in letting someone else fit you for jeans?

The Denim Guy has turned all my denimies into a thing of the past. I no longer stress out about getting stuck in a fitting room, lodged in a pair of jeans I can neither get on or off. Instead, I look forward to having him show up with a bunch of options that I already know will fit. Then it just comes down to style preference. Angst-ridden denim shopping is a thing of the past for me, thanks to the Denim Guy!

How did your significant other react to your new look?

I am a single lady; that said, I don’t have a significant other. But ladies, let’s face the facts on this one. Most women dress for other women, myself included. Have you seen “Sex and the City?” Those ladies are dressing up because it’s fun to share newfound pieces with girlfriends. Most guys aren’t tuned in to fashion world. That said, my sister did actually take notice of this denim and she was quick to make an inquiry asking for all the important details. She may not be my “other,” but when it comes to my fashion arsenal, she is definitely significant!

Who did your new jeans make you want to channel?

This denim had me channeling the queen of effortless style, Miss Halle Berry. Sounds like a stretch, and truth be told, it probably is. But when I have the Serfontaine’s on, I feel so casual, yet put-together at the same time. Halle always appears to look great in a variety of extremely comfortable, chic looks. That carefree aura is something I feel like I’m getting closer to every moment I wear this cut and style. Perhaps a Gabriel Aubry look-alike is in my near future…
