And my GOD these jeans are comfortable! You know when you buy a great-fitting pair of skinny jeans but then whenever you have to sit or fold your legs you have to tug and pull and adjust your jeans? Not with these. They're like a second skin, but without looking trashy. They mould to my legs so well I swear I could do yoga in them. Which is why I've got my leg up in a few poses- to show you how comfortable I am.
And the fit. Finding the perfect fit of jeans is difficult. It shouldn't sag from here, shouldn't be too tight from there, blah blah. But these fit absolutely perfectly. They're just the right mix of denim and lycra, and I absolutely love the dark wash. A great-fitting pair of dark wash skinnies is a wardrobe staple. They look classy and go with most tops.
But I should thank Ekram for recommending these to me. Ekram Aabed is the Salsa Shop Manager. She's been an image consultant and has over 11 years of experience in this field. Talking to her I found out she studied Fashion Design in Egypt, is from Palestine, born in Qatar but has a Canadian nationality. {Talk about being international!}. She's worked as an assistant fashion designer and as a stylist, so she really knows her stuff. She actually measured me up, from my shoulders to hips, just to find out my body type.
The 5 body types of women as characterized by fruit- Grape {Hourglass}, Banana {Straight}, Strawberry {Wider shoulders}, Apple {Heavy middle} and Pear {Wide hips}. |
My verdict on these jeans- absolutely loving them. If you're looking for a great fitting pair of jeans, recommended to you by an international stylist {who, by the way, can also style complete outfits for you based on an occasion- formal, casual, special, etc., all from within the store.}, then Salsa is the place to visit. With over 20 {!} fits of jeans, in innovations like Push-In, Sculpture, Shape-Up and Hope, and some amazing leather jackets, boots and dresses, you won't be disappointed.
Salsa is located on the first floor of Bahrain City Centre.
I have to say, this is my favourite look of the year from your blog! That top with those jeans looks so chic! Love how nice your butt looks! ;) I was wondering whether they make jeans for my thighs? You know how thin they are and I have been trying for almost 20 years to find just ONE pair that fits well... :'(
