AMO Denim Fit Guide: Find Your Perfect Pair of Jeans

Style
Written By Elizabeth Todd

One of the most difficult categories to buy is denim. There are so many options it can be a bit overwhelming. It used to be that one denim trend monopolized a season, but now, anything goes—which is a really good thing.

When it comes to jeans, you really should not care what people are saying is the newest fad, because if you don’t feel good in it, you simply won’t wear it. Wear what you find comfortable and flattering.

Personally, I typically wear straight denim, not a skinny, but something with a little slouch, but typically not a wide leg. Unless, of course, it is a trouser jean; otherwise, those are really the two fits I find work the most for my body type. Every now and then, I like a nice slouchy boyfriend jean, especially for running errands or sitting on the sidelines. I guess what I am trying to say is we all need a little variety in our denim selection as well.

I used to be a stretch girl, but now I really like the feel of a thicker denim—kind of the denim of our past, a true denim that gets better with time.

I think that is why I have fallen in love with AMO. I figured it would help everyone when shopping the trunk show if we gave a little information on how each style we have fits, especially since the brand is new to us.

I am a fan of the Odette. It has the right amount of slouch for me. I am most excited about the 143. It launched last year, and we missed out on it, so happy to have it in store. It is based on a classic ’90s denim. If you watched Love Story, it is the jean that was always worn with loafers and a simple black sweater.

Stop in this weekend and check out our AMO selection. We are excited everyone is loving it as much as we are. Shop October 8th to October 11th and receive 20 percent off all AMO.

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
