Euro Fashion Commentary #1

In America, we love our JEANS. Yes we have wrangler's and levis. We probably could argue that we invented them. But aside from the US, Europeans have also taken a special liking to this material we call denim. The denim is always tight and fades on the front and back of the thighs are very important and essential to style. We may think that we splurge on a pair of jeans here, but some of the price tickets here for jeans are pushing towards outrageous.

I will NOT be posting such blasphemy on my blog. We will be going with some middle of the line prices :).

The first store I'd like to take a look at is Gina Tricot. The store is mostly in Northern Europe, although it does have some locations here in Germany.

The fading on the back of the jeans is a true indicator of Euro style. 

Now leggings have been a staple in European fashion. This next pair are in fact jeans but still resemble the dear safety net of leggings. These are just 60 Euro and are offered in black and white. I picked the white, since white pants are IN this summer. 

Neutrals are also very important to the fashion here. You won't see too many people walking around in retro 80's Gaper jackets that were purchased at goodwill in an attempt to be non-conformist. ANYWAYS, these colored jeans I believe reflect that aspect of their fashion. They have color but aren't too over the top.


The next store i would like to pay tribute to is Vero Moda. Vero Moda is a sister brand to other Euro favorites like Jack and Jones, Only and pieces. While these jeans are pastels, they also show another popular trend that I've noticed here....ankle zip jeans. Granted not revolutionary, but cute none the less!
I tried to find a picture that highlights the zipper more, but unfortunately this was the best that I could come up with. You can see the one for the left leg if you look carefully! What I also liked about these jeans was that they were a little more high waisted. It also reflects how the fashion in general here is more on the conservative side. 

More fashion commentaries coming soon!
