A smaller bust plays well with high cut necks

Face shape:

You oval faced Roadtrippers are lucky gals because you’ll do well dabbling in any neckline.

Oval shaped face with a higher neckline.

Oval shaped face with a lower neckline.

A rounded boat or crew neck flatter a longer face and wide faces will find solace in deeper crews and v-necks.

Body Shape:

Finally, pear shapes benefit from a horizontal boat neck while curvier shapes can look to a vertical neck to streamline their body.

Show your jeans that your love is true by taking good care of them and avoiding the following common pitfalls.

Don’t wash them! It might seem counter-intuitive but an unwashed jean is a happy jean. The washing machine is your jeans biggest fear – it’ll cause them to lose their shape, fade and wear out faster. If you don’t believe us, ask CNN! In a scientific experiment fit for any denim lover, they showed that jeans unwashed for 15 months had comparable cleanliness than those unwashed just 13 days. Avoiding the wash will result in better fitting jeans with a longer life span and don’t worry - no one will ever know.

Not washing them frequently is the idea here – not washing them ever is not entirely recommended. When the time comes keep water cold. Warm water makes the wash cycle that much more traumatizing for a good pair of denim, damaging the fibers that have done nothing but love you. For minimal color loss, turn your jeans inside out before tossing them in. Hang to dry (DO NOT EVER subject your jeans to the dryer!!!!!).

Depending on your denim, you might want to consider dry cleaning your jeans.  Much milder than a conventional washing machine, it will keep color and fit most in tact. We know it’s expensive but if you just scored a pair of Fidelitys or if you’re planning on wearing your denim till death do you part this is an option we would definitely recommend a strong consideration for dry cleaning.

Love is compromise and an equal balance of giving and receiving. Your jeans have done nothing but give give give and all they want is a little TLC in return.

Take care Roadtrippers and tell your jeans we say “you’re welcome!”
