Tips for Picking the Perfect #MyCalvins Denim w/ Amazon Fashion

Just recently I was looking through some blog images, Instagram as well as my camera roll of memories until it dawned on me – I wear denim A LOT.

What can I say, it’s a trend that I am forever grateful came to be, and even though I may not wear it every single day, I do wear denim quite often. It’s an essential item in my wardrobe that can be so versatile and can easily be worked into any occasion whether you need something more casual or even a little dressed up. Since being introduced to Calvin Klein denim , which you can learn all about here, I’ve been obsessed with their denim collection available on Amazon.ca. After all, nothing is better than denim that looks amazing but doesn’t break the bank!

Now, I know denim isn’t always the easiest piece to shop for, but I’m personally all for the different styles you can choose from, so I have no doubt that if you follow these simple steps, you will be on your way to loving denim, and incorporating them more into your wardrobe without breaking the bank!

Fit Is Everything

Speaking from a curvy girl, I understand that not every body is made equal and not every cut and curve fits every pair, so with that being said, fit is everything when it comes to a good pair of denim. The first step in looking for the right fit is actually focusing on what fit flatters you. I tell ladies this all the time – don’t just go for the size that “fits” and you can button or zip up. Sometimes, trying a size larger or smaller can actually flatter you more, depending on the stretch and brand. After all, it’s a learning process and though it can be trial and error, Amazon.ca offers free returns, so I’ve been able to shop for the denim I love without the pressure of an awful return policy.

I personally love my CKJ 010 High Rise Skinny Fit Jean, but I actually own it in two different colours and in different sizes. The Portland Blue pair is a size up from this Washed Black pair, and that is strictly because I wanted to go for a different fit without grabbing a completely different style because this fit is amazing. The biggest issue I see when it comes to women finding denim is that women are so afraid to try different sizes and possibly even moving up in size to find out what fit flatters their body more. Rather than holding yourself back by the number on the tag, remember that nobody sees the number but you, so focus on the fit and not your size.

Play w/ Different Styles + Rise

My favourite styles are skinny, straight and maybe I’ll dabble in a boyfriend fit and almost always I’m in a mid rise to a High Rise and that’s because I know these are the styles that suit my body and frame. While it’s easy to gravitate towards a style that you always wear, switching things up can not only look great but that can easily switch up your look.

Depending on how you choose to style your denim, a flattering straight leg properly paired with a heel can effortlessly elongate your legs and give you a sleek and polished look while a cropped bottom denim pant is a perfect option for a Casual Friday at work when paired with a classic loafer. Additionally, a higher waist jean helps accentuate natural curves and adds length to the legs, which you can see from this shot in my CKJ 010 High Rise Skinny Fit Jean.

My big tip is that even if you find comfort in reaching for your typical style, branch out, try something new and have fun. You never know what kind of denim you might fall in love with, which is why it’s so handy that Amazon.ca offers free returns on products, so you can swap sizes, figure out what works for you and exchange the size if they don’t fit!
