Men @ Work

 

 

The October issue of Men's Health magazine has an insightful editorial on "The Ultimate Guide to Buying, Wearing and Looking Great in Denim". Their Denim Through The Ages timeline takes you through James Dean's classic white t-shirt look in Rebel Without A Cause, to the 1976 punk movement with the Ramones in skinny ripped jeans through to a 15-year old Brooke Shields and her infamous Calvin Klein ads.

Along with having 'real guys' talking about why they love their blues they have their cover model Rob Hillis, carpenter of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, talk about his work wardrobe staple! '..."Baggy pants and protruding boxers are a liabilty for me, " says Hillis, who needs to be nimble on set. A precise fit will keep you from snagging and create a more flattering silhouette. Each brand has its own idea of sizing--often very different from the waist measurement on the tag...'

Other helpful tips in the article include some 'Blues Basics' from David Lim, founder and designer of Kasil Jeans. He explains how to clean your favorite denim:

-Wear your jeans at least two or three times between washings.

-Turn jeans inside out before laundering. use cold water and mild soap.

-Hang dry. Do not use a clothes dryer- heat will fade and shrink denim.

-To maintain the original color of your jeans, dry clean them.

The article also highlighted Lucky Brand Jeans, 7 For All Mankind and Kasil jeans as some brands to check out for different occasions. Below are a few style suggestions from True Jeans on how to  incorprorate jeans into your work wardrobe!

I have 2 pairs of 7s I wear to work everyday and they are great. I was looking for other premium lines not known as much as 7 (and cheaper) and I found out about M-Blue Jeans. For the price I paid they feel so good, I don't want to take them off, ever. :)
