How To Shrink a Pair of Jeans

Wouldn’t it be great if every pair of denim jeans you owned fit like a glove? Granted, you probably have a couple pair that fall under this category, but chances are others are either too loose or too tight. Before you go tossing your oversized jeans into the trash, though, you should first attempt to shrink them using one of the methods listed below. Soak in a Tub of Hot Water It’s no secret that heat causes fabric to shrink, and denim is no exception. You can use this to your advantage by soaking your oversized jeans in a tub of scalding-hot water. After placing the drain plug in the tub, fill it with the hottest water possible. If another member of your family recently took a shower, you may want to wait a while so the water heater will produce exceptionally hot water. Next, place the jeans inside the tub, submerging them in the water. After allowing them to soak for an hour, remove them and hang out to out dry. If all goes well, they should be slightly smaller than before. Wash and Dry Another technique to shrink your jeans is to simply wash and dry them, several times. Make sure your washing machine and dryer are  set to the hottest setting possible and run your jeans through a load. You probably won’t notice much (if any) of a difference after a single wash and dry, but continue doing this for several times and your jeans will be tighter. The only downside to this method is that it can affect the color and quality of your jeans,...

Be a fashionista with back-to-school denim fashion tips!

Denims can be as basic or as snazzy as your heart desires. A great pair of denims can really pull together an outfit, while a bad one can ruin the look of even a designer tee. So ladies, as you head out to shop for your back-to-school outfits, read our blog first to know what’s hot and what’s not this year. 1. Boyfriend Jeans – The boyfriend look is the hottest in school hallways this year. Choose from distressed, rolled up, or with some bling on it – rock this style in your own way. Oversized slouchy jeans with cropped or rolled up ends look great with fitted tees as well as boyfriend shirts. You can even go for shorts in the same style. 2. Skinny Jeans – Skinny jeans will never truly go out of fashion. What better way to show off your summer-fit figure than in a pair of dark body-hugging skinny jeans? Team it up with buttoned shirts for a casual look, or a nice blouse for a dressy look. 3. Overalls/ Dungarees – Go retro with a pair of denim overalls, paired with a comfy tee. Overalls this season have a very lived-in, 90s look. Choose distressed denim for the lumberjack look, or go jazzy and ultra-chic with stones, embellishments and embroidery. 4. Skirts – Can’t get over the hangover of summer? You don’t need to! Layer your miniskirts with tights and wear your summer favorites to school. Its great for a sporty and flirty look. Distressed denims continue to be hot and fashionable this season. Another hot style is patchwork denims. Pair them with...
