Step Guide To Stonewashing Your Jeans

adminJeans

The 80s totally ruled, as did Def Leppard and their fashion sense. Designing your own unique, personalized stonewashed jeans is a total breeze. Some friends of mine recently asked where I get my super authentic 80s style Def Leppard look. And while some would have you believe the Def Leppard look starts with ripped jeans, those of us truly in the know, know it is almost impossible to properly stonewash a pair of pre-ripped jeans, so we never rip them before stonewashing them! And you know, just buying stonewashed jeans from Macy’s is for the feeble willed. A true Def Leppard fan and connoisseur of the most rocking decade ever, the 1980s, should be able to wash his or her own stonewashed jeans. Don’t you agree? Or are you still holding on relentlessly to your Fedora from the beat generation days?

Stonewashing jeans is probably simpler than you previously thought. To begin, just take any pair of boring old jeans and soak them in salt water for 2 days. I prefer salt water from the Dead Sea, as it contains the highest concentrate of sodium nitrates of any salt water on Earth, but I also take frequent trips to the Middle East so this is no problem for me.

Vintage Clothing Never Goes Out Of Style – Timeless Outfits For Anybody In Any Era

adminClothing

With trends in and out of fashion faster than they are placed on the racks, the fine line between ‘hot’ and vintage has been blurred. Any style from a previous era is considered as vintage clothing – which happens to inspire many of the up and coming trends. Many individual pieces of clothing are of vintage style or vintage inspiration but not what we’d call a true collectible. For an item to be considered as truly vintage, it must have hailed from an earlier age and survived the wear and tear of time. Vintage clothing is a collective term for second-hand itemized pieces that originated from the 1920s up to the 1990s. Sometimes synonymous to -vintage-, -retro- clothing are garments procured from the 60s and the 70s specifically. Anything before the 1920s is considered as an antique, meant to be preserved, even showcased. Anything after the 1990s on the other hand, which has been out of -vintage- reach, is still hideous.

A cycle of fashion trends is one determinant where certain styles are considered as outdated or vintage-chic. It used to have been a rotation of 50 years, cut down to 30, 20 and now, even 10. Turnovers from era to era are gaining speed and fast. Vintage clothing used to be limited to the 1970s and its preceding years, but now the 80s and the 90s are already making their comebacks. With huge tees and jumpers reemerging from the grunge era, and shoulder pads and bare midriffs from the disco age, the 21st century should be ready for a turnover soon. But vintage pieces are those that transcend current trends. Made from fashion designers representative of a particular era, they have transformed from second-hand garments into timeless collectibles.
