Earnest Sewn Jeans Offers Custom Fit and Standout Style

Quality and Design Make This Brand Popular with Celebs and Fashionistas

Jan Corn
Ever since Earnest Sewn jeans were first designed by Scott Morrison, they have been on the cutting edge of designer jeans, perfect for the discerning customer who recognizes the value in quality made jeans. While they are admittedly not at the lowest end of jean prices, they are made so well that they can last for years, long past the time less expensive jeans may wear out.

This makes Earnest Jeans well worth the cost for many shoppers, especially those who realize that they can last for years while creating an enduring style statement. In short, because the Earnest Sewn brand blends art and fashion, these jeans have wide appeal - not only with celebrities but for shoppers with high standards.

Historically, the Earnest Sewn brand has a strong connection to classic American denim jeans such as Levis but also mixes in a certain Japanese style as well (one known as Wabi-sabi). The Wabi-Sabi aesthetic results in jeans which are never meant to be perfect.

Seams may be slightly askew, just like the imperfections found in life itself. In spite of such built-in and slight imperfections, each pair of Earnest Sewn jeans are created with time, care and a custom fit. Mixing artistic vision with practical style, it is no surprise that Ernest Sewn jeans are favorites of such celebrities as Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, Katie Holmes, Heidi Klum - and many other fashionistas, celebs or not.

Moving on to various styles and cuts of Earnest Sewn jeans...

Earnest Sewn Jeans Style - The Ali Fit is a Classic Bootcut.

Best for women who aren't stick thin, the Ali style works well for women who have some curves. The front rise is low while the back rise is somewhat higher. The result? The Ali will cover a woman's bottom, even while bending over to pick up dropped papers or while running daily errands.

Standard price for this style is $186 and sizes range from 24-32 (between size 0 to 10 in standard American sizes) To see this particular style, check out the photo at the Ernest Sewn jeans website here . Size charts can also be found the main website at http://www.earnestsewn.com

Colors in the Ali fit include a standard and dark one rinse jean or a more faded look, very light.

Best Bets to Wear with the Ali Fit of Earnest Sewn Jeans

Since the Ali jeans are boot cut, cutting edge boots would work well with this style, either with or without high heels.

The Zazo style is among the most popular of Earnest Sewn Jean Styles

If super dark jeans are desired, these fit the bill perfectly. They can also be found at a discounted price at the Tobi website, on sale for $111 instead of the usual $186 price. Because they feature a very high rise, women don't have to fear that extra skin will puff out at the top of this Earnest Sewn style, leading to the dreaded "muffin top" look. The dark color also gives a slimmer look than some of the lighter denim washes. Like most Earnest Sewn products, these pants feature a monogram on the back. It works well for most body types.

Best Bets to Wear with the Zazo Style

Either heels or flats would work. If a slim look is desired from top to toe, try a simple tank top or long sleeve boatneck, perhaps paired with a vest. A large purse or handbag would balance out the slimming lines and add a distinctive touch.. Keep jewelry simple but feel free to create a custom look with purses, handbags, scarves, etc.

Earnest Sewn Keaton Jeans - They May Come at A Bargain Price

For those who love the brand, the Keaton style is a steal a $78, found at the tobi.com website.They feature white contrast stitching and a very dark, slimming blue. This is a low rise jean with a boot cut. Made with 74 percent cotton, they have a nice, forgiving stretch to them but also maintain their shape extremely well.
