Denim 101 – Rock & Republic

rrkurts Denim 101 Rock & Republic

From time to time we love to blog for designer denim newbies about what to look for in your first few pairs of designer jeans! For today we are featuring Rock & Republic denim. These are some of our favorites due to the beautiful washes and variation of back pocket designs.

Some of the most popular washes/cuts/styles include:

* The old Victoria Beckham crowns (before her split from R&R), in London cut (watch out for fakes on Ebay – there are a ton – check the Rock and Republic forum on how to find a real pair!)
* Kurts (we love, love, love these because flap pockets make our butt look perkier) and Rays (low-rise and ultra low-rise)
* Berlins (low rise skinny jean)
* Vetters (super short mini skirt)
* Anything in Quaalude wash – dark denim with whiskering, and pink detailing (stitching and buttons)
* Most wanted rare pairs: Stevie Pink Crystal Chromas, Victoria Beckham Crowns in Foam (both highly faked – so beware!)

What we’d recomend to someone trying R&R for the first time:
* A classic pair of Kiedis’ (now known as Kassandra’s) with regular ‘R’ stitching on the back, or the signature logo (Kiedis = low rise bootcut)
* Scorpion’s and Kiss’ are very flattering to girls lacking behinds (low rise utility pocket flare, and bootcut, respectively) – great in a dark wash like Quaalude, Steel, Amethyst, or Uranium

Personal favorites/unique styles we haven’t mentioned yet:
* Vargas – low rise flare with curved pockets (in Lead or Oxygen wash)
* Wingers – low rise flare with flashy stitching (“wings”) along the back waist (in Quaalude, Opium, or Oxygen wash).

Lose the “dad” jeans, guys!

10.04.2007 Posted in New Jeans Trends by Liane

Okay, now we know designer jeans are becoming more mainstream because even guys are jumping into the craze, trading in their trusty old pair of $25 Levi’s for a $200 pair of Sevens or Rock & Republics.

Says the blog editor’s husband who can normally be found daily in a black concert t-shirt and his designer denim, “They just FEEL better and look better, my wife got me hooked. I’ll never wear anything else”. Ladies, beware, if you get your guy hooked on designer denim, this could mean fewer pairs for you depending on your budget! We are not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing that our man loves his Seven’s so much!

It’s true – everyday guys who wouldn’t normally consider themselves extremely concerned with fashion are moving towards a flattering fit that’s comfortable too. And guys, you know you love it when the girls are checking out your butt to see what kind of jeans you’ve got on! Hey, we all do that, right?!

Check out the Men’s section in the HonestMall for designer denim at discounts! Also, we love this article from BaltimoreSun.com about the trend of men loving designer denim too.
