G-star Jeans
Denim Review: G Star Fender Skinny Spark Denim in 3D Aged
This weeks review is on a brand I had never tried before, until now. G Star sent me the Fender Skinny Spark Denim jeans in 3D Aged. I never really thought I would like the brand because they are quite heavily branded and I prefer my jeans more subtle and plain, but I was definitely suprised with how well they fitted and how nice the wash was.
The fit of these jeans is a very skinny, low/normal rised jean with a thicker waistband. The back pockets have zippers with tassels at the top, just like I am used to with some Diesel jeans and other brands, and they are not too skinny like most of the leggings I wear. I always like the look of zippers on the back pockets because I find they accentuate the butt more and highlight the right areas to be flattering. This pair definitely does that! The back pockets also have the classic G-Star embroidery and they have the little G-Star patches and branding on the sides at the front. I normally always wear longer t-shirts so that isn’t too much of a bother to me.
I do like the fit of these too, I definitely find them slimming and a good fit on the butt and legs. It’s always risky for me trying new brands because the cut can often be too big in my legs, but these fit perfectly. I took a size 27 as I seem to be fitting that size more now and they fit just right. Since I have never tried the brand before though, I am unsure if they are true to size for them. They definitely seem quite true to size, maybe a small bit on the big side in comparison to other denim brands though.
The wash of these jeans is called 3D Aged and it’s a coated/waxed very dark blue, almost black shade on a fabric called Spark Denim. I’m assuming it’s named Spark Denim because it’s coated to look shiny. I have been into waxed and leather look denim for a long time now so I was excited to put this pair on because I loved the look of the wash. I also find really dark blues and blacks to be the most slimming shades of denim anyway, so adding a coated look to this pair just makes them more fun and more in depth. They are not the regular plain washed jeans you normally see. I definitely love this wash, it’s also not itchy like most waxed jeans can be, it’s made with cotton, polymide and elastane and it’s a 3×1 right hand twill 11 oz fabric which has been ring spun.
Overall, if you are a fan of the brand then I think this is a must have pair for you because they seem like a classic with great characteristics. If you are new to the brand like I was, then I also think this is a good pair to try, I’m really pleased I got these because of how pretty they are and they are very versatile and easy to pair with other clothes. I’m happy to finally add a pair of G-Star jeans to my ever growing collection! Buy them here at I Love Bastille for $220.

Heidi Klum in JET Jeans and Seal in G-Star
Heidi Klum was spotted out on a dinner date with husband Seal at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, California. She chose to wear the JET Acid Repair jeans in Black while Seal wore a pair of G-Star jeans. At first I was a bit iffy with this look but looking at it over a couple times I actually quite like it. I like that she paired the jeans with some bright green. I also like that she paired it with a hoody. It is a nice casual look on Heidi.
Heidi’s new show, Seriously Funny Kids, actually looks quite funny. It is not my type of show, but the kids do say some funny stuff in the promotional video. Heidi asked one of the children what she would wear on a first date and in the nicest way she replied that she would wear what Heidi was wearing if her shirt wasn’t ripped. It’s funny to see that many young children still have a child’s innocent humor even with all that’s out there. You can click here to purchase JET Jeans at Singer22.
