adding the denim, or it is subjected to ozone gases in a special fading chamber. With water jet fading, strong jets of water remove colour gradually until the fabric becomes the desired shade of blue. These non-chemical procedures cause little damage to the fabric.

Over-dyed or tinted denim fabrics have usually been stone washed to remove some of the blue dye from the surface of the fibres. After the garment is sewn, another shade of dye, often by hand using sponges or paintbrush­es is applied. Most often, colours in the brown or yellow range are applied, but occasional­ly other colours are used. The garment goes through another washing process, resulting in subtle colour variations in the finished product.

After stone washing the denim, the material is treated with special chemicals. These leave a brown or grey cast that only appears in the areas exposed to the chemicals. This results in a dirty appearance, as though the wearer had stained the garment in spots while gardening or otherwise working in the dirt.

If you are short, pay special attention to how it looks on you as hemlines which fall right on the widest part of your legs can overpower your short body figure.

Skinny Jeans These jeans look pretty on slim and lean shapes. It is a tight jean which sits snugly around your legs. It can be worn by anyone if styled in conjunctio­n with the shape of your clothes. However, if you are self-conscious about your hips then opt for straight leg/ cigarette jeans as skinny emphasises curves and at times may make you feel uncomforta­ble.

Wide Leg Jeans Wide leg jeans are featured with a wide opening from your thighs and down. They look great when paired with a fitted top. If you are short then do not go for these type of jeans and even if you want to then choose the skinniest and fitted wide leg jeans and wear them with high heels.
