Part of making jeans for Canadian women for 45 years means we know fit. We feel that everyone should be able to look and feel their best, which is why we are continually developing our plus size jeans offering, along with working to perfect our full jean size range.
We understand that shopping for jeans at any size can be daunting. It’s easy to get caught up in questions like “What type of jeans look best on my body” or “Can I even find something that fits me” or even “What style of jeans are popular right now”?
To help you get ready for fall, we’ve put together a handy 5 step guide to finding the perfect pair of jeans!
5 STEPS FOR FINDING THE PERFECT PAIR OF JEANS
Step 1 – Forget old jean buying tips
Our first step for finding jeans you love is to forget everything you’ve ever read about “dressing for your body type”. Seriously! Part of finding the perfect pair of jeans is finding something in a style that YOU love.
Are you adventurous and ready to try a new trend? Do you love the look of a classic skinny? Go for it. With a mind open to all jean fit possibilities, you’re sure to find something great that you may have never tried before!
Step 2 – Research!
Now comes the fun part. This is an exciting time in fashion since there is so much inspiration everywhere. Before you start your jean shopping for the season, take a scroll through IG (ours is pretty cute), find some fashion influencers or stylists that you love and start following them, or take a walk through the mall and snap some photos of outfits you love. Part of being able to find jeans you love is knowing what’s out there!

Step 3 – Try it
This is the scary part – trying on those jeans that you just picked out. Whether you’re in a store trying on an armful of jeans, or at home trying out your new online purchase, there are a few things that make the try on step a bit easier.
First, prepare for some things to simply be the wrong fit. A jean may be too long, too short, hit you in the wrong way, or may simply be a fabric that you don’t like.
Next, grab your FAVOURITE top – the one you always feel cute in – and put that on before trying anything! Jeans will not look the same when you’re in that stretched out tee that you’ve had for 10 years. If you’re trying on jeans in a store, ask one of our sales associates to grab you a Rib Knit Tank or Knit Plaid Shirt (these were MADE for jeans).
Finally, shoes! Grab a pair of white sneakers to try with your new jeans. They WILL look different once you have some shoes on.
Now, try try try! Try it all and only keep the ones you feel awesome in. Some things to remember – denim will stretch, so you want a snug but still comfortable fit. If you love a jean and it is too long, consider getting it hemmed. Hemming is an inexpensive way to get the perfect length on your jean. If the jean feels too short, or hits you in an awkward place at the ankle, move on.
Step 4 – Outfit & Rock It
An important part of buying new jeans is outfitting them! Don’t let all of your hard work go to waste by leaving a new pair of jeans to sit unworn in your closet. Do you often find yourself thinking “What do I wear with jeans”? Well, the answer is EVERYTHING! We believe that a good pair of jeans can be worn every day.
