Jeans

Its hardly surprising that most days youll find the majority of the Stylight team in blue jeans we just cant get enough of them! Worn in hues varying from acid wash to deep indigo, jeans are the fundamental basis of our working wardrobe, and we love how we can wear them straight after work as we head to a local bar, and can spend the weekend relaxing on the sofa in, you guessed it, jeans. Wonder whats so special? Buy your own and find out!

Everyday comfort

With fits to suit every body shape, its pretty much impossible to find a pair of jeans which dont flatter your figure. The perfect fitting pair will fit you like a glove, and be so comfortable you wont want to change into your pyjamas by the time you go to sleep!

Got the blues

Although jeans are available in any colour or pattern under the sun, we cant help but go back to the classic blue every time we find ourselves looking for a new pair. Whether you prefer acid wash, stonewash, or indigo jeans, weve got the perfect pair for you. We love mixing classic and fashion-forward, so look to brands like Missguided to bring our look right up to date.

Suit up

Jeans are the ultimate form of casual dress, however theres nothing like the juxtaposition of smart and casual. Team your blue jeans with a white shirt for classic off duty cool, or pick a black hue and try pairing them with a suit jacket and sharp shirt for something much smarter than the usual casual t shirt combination. No matter whether you own one pair or twenty, theres always room for another pair of jeans in your wardrobe, so be sure to have a look at what Stylight has on sale today. When one item of clothing has had hundreds of songs written about it, you cant help but want to find out what all the fuss is about!

Any Questions? The Ultimate Jeans Care Guide

For those of you who hate doing laundry, we have some good news. You don’t have to wash your jeans—at least not often.

When it is time to give them a wash, do you know the proper way to do so? It isn’t as simple as tossing them in the washing machine. After you’ve found your perfect pair, we’re answering all of your denim care questions:

How should I wash my jeans?

By hand is the best way to go. Use your sink and liquid detergent to clean treated jeans, then allow them to air dry inside-out, lying flat down or hanging on a clothesline. For raw jeans, add 2 cups of white vinegar to a shallow amount of water in the bathtub and soak for an hour before laying them out to dry. If you must use a washing machine, make sure to use the gentle cycle and cold water, then dry inside-out at a low heat to avoid shrinkage.

When should I wash my jeans?

Depends on the denim type. Raw denim jeans should be washed as little as possible so they don’t lose their luster, approximately every 4-8 months. The only time you should wash treated denim is when there are stains that can’t be removed with a spot treatment or when you feel like they really need it every few months.

But won’t they smell?

Stick them in the freezer or the oven—seriously. The cold and heat both kill odor-causing bacteria in between washes. Seal your jeans in a plastic bag and freeze them for up to two days. For a quicker fix, just bake them. Preheat your oven to 400°, then reduce to 175°. Place your folded jeans directly on the rack and cook for 2 minutes. Then enjoy!

Is there a way to stop jeans from fading?

White vinegar is not only a natural detergent, it sets the dye of raw denim jeans, as well. This is another reason why the soaking wash method gets major points. For treated dark jeans, wash them in cold water before wearing them for the first time to help them maintain that true blue state.

Do right by your denim jeans. The better you take care of them, the better they’ll make you look.
