People struggle with the appropriate look or fashion trend to settle with. And its no wonder, with artists like Gaga leading the way, the “bar” for what is fashionable seems to be constantly “adjusted” – I can’t say whether it is rising or falling, but I know it is fluctuating! At any rate, luckily for me one thing has never gone out of fashion- stonewashed jeans ! I love them.

It is hard to overvalue or overstate my affinity, my love, for stonewashed jeans. Ever since my days as a youth in Chino, I knew my love affair with this distressed style of denim pants was going to be enduring. My first pair of Levi’s 501s, when I was just a wee lad of 6 years old, were heavily stonewashed with a mixture of granite and opal stones.

The 80s totally ruled, as did Def Leppard and their fashion sense. Designing your own unique, personalized stonewashed jeans is a total breeze. Some friends of mine recently asked where I get my super authentic 80s style Def Leppard look. And while some would have you believe the Def Leppard look starts with ripped jeans, those of us truly in the know, know it is almost impossible to properly stonewash a pair of pre-ripped jeans, so we never rip them before stonewashing them! And you know, just buying stonewashed jeans from Macy’s is for the feeble willed. A true Def Leppard fan and connoisseur of the most rocking decade ever, the 1980s, should be able to wash his or her own stonewashed jeans. Don’t you agree? Or are you still holding on relentlessly to your Fedora from the beat generation days?

Denim And Jeans

It has been over a decade since most of us last purchased a pair of stonewashed jeans. I believe, sooner than later, Stonewashed jeans will make their resurgence and claim their rightful position at the apex of Denim Fashion.

In the early days of stonewashed jeans, there was a heavy environmental price to be paid for that amazing distressed look. In the production process of manipulating fabrics to attain that distressed look and feel, manufacturers were going to great lengths to keep up with the industry, even if it required compensating with an environmental impact.

When it comes to outdated or even obsolete fashion, I can appreciate the wackiness of it all. I love the crop tops, high socks, bright neon colors reminiscent of the 80s culture workout culture. I love the ripped up leather jackets or even sports jackets with shoulder pads that were also prominent in the 80s and early 90s. But next to wearing a wardrobe full of Pacsun apparel, I just don’t understand the appeal of denim on denim. Should people be allowed to wear this stuff?

For almost all women across the globe, having jewelry in their wardrobe has explore their lives. There are generally two kinds of fashion jewelry that all women eagerly want to possess. On one hand are those kinds that are less expensive as the materials used are affordable, but whatever the materials used they still seem to look fabulously good. On the other hand, there’s also jewelry items that can absolutely make a fashion statement as they are made of high quality and utterly luxurious materials.

Totality is top priority

Of all the classic animal prints, zebra is one of the favorites. It brings to mind not only casual chic of African safaris, but also something different altogether: glamour, opulence, and style.
