Pay Attention to Purpose

When you are shopping for jeans, take into consideration where you will be wearing them. If you need jeans for the office, look for a trouser fit with a high rise and a front crease. The jeans should be business appropriate with no holes or frayed seams.

Purchase a pair of jeans to wear with heels for dressier occasions or to wear at the office. Hem them so that they hit the bridge of your foot when you are wearing heels or boots. You should also buy a pair of jeans to wear with flats or sneakers. If you wear your longer jeans with flat shoes, soon the hem will start to fray and look messy.

Also, pay attention to age appropriateness when shopping for denim. Embellishments like decorations, holes and purposely frayed edges look best on a younger person. Older women may opt to keep it simple with a more tailored, less messy look.

Be Price Point Savvy: The Varying Cost of Jeans

The cost of jeans can run from $30 to $50 per pair to more than $200. Shop a variety of price points and you may be pleasantly surprised that less expensive jeans fit you well. If you have your heart set on an expensive pair, luckily denim is quite durable, and you will usually get years of wear from your jeans. The more expensive the jeans, the more important it is to buy a pair that you can wear for a variety of occasions. Try not to blow your entire jeans budget on a trendy pair that you will only wear for one season.
