If you asked someone what their preferred form of bottoms
are, 95 percent of the time the answer would undoubtedly be denim. It's not
because jeans are necessarily the most comfortable pair of pants out there
(Hello, sweatpants!), but they are the one pair of bottoms you can depend on in
a pinch. Take into consideration your endless options for styles, washes and
fits — the dream of being able to create a thousand different looks with one
single pair of pants is entirely possible. In fact, denim has come so far over
the years that guys and gals are even getting away with some options at work
far beyond the coveted casual Friday.
There are various key factors that play into the claim that
jeans are better than any other pants. It's no longer just a matter of looks;
it really comes down to a preference that sets the standard for style and
comfort without really having to make an effort. As back-to-school season is
fast approaching, retailers are hiking up their denim awareness with brands
like Nasty Gal creating their very own line to keep the ball rolling for this
timeless staple. Is it possible that all your favorite leggings, soft pants,
and maxi skirts will become obsolete? Nah, that's crazy talk, but it does feel
like those alternatives are going to take a backseat in your wardrobe to make
way for all the bell bottoms, skinnies, and, yes, even high-waisted denim
apparel that will soon begin to bombard your closet.
Few things are as classic and versatile as denim. You can
wear it a million different ways for almost any occasion, so whether it's in
the form of jeans, a dress, or a jacket, you should definitely have denim in
your wardrobe. If you need more convincing or want to feel better about the
pair of jeans you just splurged on, here are the reasons why denim is the best :
1- BECAUSE THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS
Gone
are the days of just wide leg and boot cut. Now we have an interesting array of
styles that are able to fit into any particular event you are shopping for.
With bell bottoms back in action along with the usual high-waisted, skinny, and
boyfriend jeans, choosing a style has become just as important as choosing a
wash. Besides, no one ever said too much choice in fashion was a bad thing.
2.
BECAUSE THEY LAST LONGER THAN OTHER PANTS
It may sound kind of gross, but jeans are one of the few
bottoms that you can get away with not washing after you wear them. Many jean
lovers know that the more you wash them, the more wear and tear they may take
on. Sometimes the wear and tear is the goal, in which case wash away! But, for
those who want to baby their denim, the thought of washing them after every use
just seems insane.
3.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE VERSATILITY
I
mentioned earlier that it is much easier to get away with wearing your jeans to
work, and that is no lie, my friends. The darker and sleeker the denim, the
more opportunity you have to rock them at the office. Besides, with all the
statement accessories out there, you can easily draw attention away from the
fact that your bottoms are the most comfortable thing you are wearing.
4.
BECAUSE YOUR BUTT HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER
What
is the first thing you do when you try on jeans? You turn your back to the
mirror and immediately examine how your butt looks. There is just no way in
hell that stretchy pants, soft pants, or any other form will make your butt
look as fabulous as it does in your favorite pair of jeans. End of discussion.
5-
BECAUSE THEY FEEL WORTH THE INVESTMENT
Denim prices range all over the place, but regardless of
what you paid for your favorite pair of jeans they are worth the investment.
Would you rather pay $100 for a pair of jeans, or $100 for a pair of dress
pants that you know you are only going to wear to work? The weight alone of a
pair of jeans is enough to convince me that I am making the right choice at the
register. It's a bigger bang for your buck.
6-
BECAUSE THEY HIDE STAINS SO WELL
Spilling
yogurt on your black dress pants is a nightmare, but spilling yogurt on your
jeans is not that bad. Stains are easy to get rid of or hide for the day when
you are wearing jeans — unless you are wearing white jeans, in which case I
applaud your bravery. It ties back into the fact that they are extremely
durable.
