curvy jeans

Great news for the curvy ladies out there! If you’ve always dreamt about wearing a pair of the iconic Levi’s® 501® jeans, but they never really fitted your body type, The wait has ended. Remember, it all started with Beyoncé… (read here)!

Levi's

For over 150 years, the Levi’s® 501® jeans have remained the gold standard of denim = an enduring style worn and loved by generations. Now, for the first time in Levi’s® history, the brand has inclusively reengineered this timeless classic to better serve curvy body types. A fresh take on the original, the new 501® Curve is designed to celebrate and fit curves without compromising the authentic straight-leg silhouette that makes the 501® so iconic.

Staying true to the legacy of the original, the Levi’s® 501® Curve incorporates a high rise, button fly, and straight leg, but with thoughtful design updates. A more contoured hip-to-waist ratio to eliminate back gapping and extra room in the seat and thigh deliver a comfortable, sculpted fit. Crafted to enhance and flatter, this innovative denim offering ensures that more body types can experience the effortless style of the 501®.

denim

“We went through many variations and wear-tests to land on this shape, and we feel that it’s a truly authentic 501® jean imbued with Levi’s® DNA, but for a curvy body that might not have been able to find the right fit with our other 501® fits,” says Jill Guenza, VP of Women’s Apparel Design at Levi’s. “It’s an exceptional moment in our history.”

For a modern head-to-toe denim look, pair the 501® Curve with the Shrunken 90s Trucker – a vintage-inspired, cropped take on our classic jacket. Personalize it further with embellishments and customizations, redefining an icon in your own way.

The new 501® Curve is available for purchase worldwide now on Levi.com, the Levi’s® App, and select Levi’s® Stores.

Introducing: Shockoe Atelier

August 13, 2025 by DENIMandPATCHES

denim

Founded in 2012 by Anthony Lupesco in the historic Shockoe Bottom district of Richmond, Shockoe Atelier blends European tailoring tradition with American denim culture.

Shockoe Atelier

Lupesco’s background in Italian luxury fashion (from brands like Versace and Belvest) informs the label’s refined aesthetic and manufacturing standards, all executed locally in a transparent, in-house workshop.

n a historic neighborhood that once echoed with the hum of commerce, Shockoe Atelier has established itself as a beacon of craft, innovation, and dedication to the art of American denim. 

What sets Shockoe apart is its commitment to keeping production close to home. Initially located in Shockoe Bottom and now at 1623 West Broad Street, the atelier integrates its factory and storefront, offering visitors a rare glimpse into the making of its pieces. This transparency not only underscores their commitment to quality but invites the Richmond community to become part of their story.

selvedge jeans

Interesting is the fact that unlike many denim brands which draw from the mythology of Levi’s or mid-20th-century Americana, Shockoe’s approach to jeans is distinctly its own.

“We didn’t know how to make jeans when we started,” Lupesco admits. Instead, they leaned on their expertise in fine tailoring to redefine what denim could be. The result? A product that’s both difficult to categorize and impossible to ignore.

Each pair of jeans takes roughly two hours to create, a process handled entirely in-house by a tight-knit team of nine. This approach allows for unparalleled attention to detail, from the selection of selvedge denim – often sourced from Japanese mills – to the careful stitching and hand-finishing of each seam.

The jeans are meant to last a lifetime, a promise backed by their free repair guarantee for rips, tears, and blowouts.

You can shop for Shockoe Atelier clothing on their website.

Diesel – Behind The Denim Ep. 7

August 12, 2025 by DENIMandPATCHES

denim

As a follow up to our recently featured interview with Andrea Rosso, let’s talk about the latest episode of Diesel’s “Behind The Denim”. Don’t fall apart – watch below:

This episode leans into Diesel’s commitment to denim longevity and circularity, showcasing how durability is essential to reducing fashion waste. Episode 7, “Don’t Fall Apart”, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Diesel’s commitment to quality and sustainability, demonstrating how thoughtful engineering goes hand-in-hand with eco-conscious fashion.

“Welcome back to Season 2 of Diesel: Behind the Denim, our mini docuseries devoted to uncovering the creativity, craft and commitment that is guiding us towards a circular future.. In Episode 7, Don’t Fall Apart, our fearless host Lea Ogunlami joins OTB Sustainability Ambassador Andrea Rosso in the Diesel Lab to get an education in denim quality control.”

The Diesel Lab is stocked with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that each pair of Diesel jeans can withstand a lifetime of wear and tear.

A spectrophotometer is used to crosscheck the color of each swatch against the standard color sample to guarantee uniformity, while a dynamometer tests fabric strength and elasticity.

Then there are Diesel’s definitive construction techniques for denim resistance: triple stitched seams, pockets reinforced with super strong shoe thread, double belt loops and a lined waistband are all key to holding each silhouette’s shape and preventing rips in the wrong place. No one wants that.

The Perfect Wedgie– Introducing Wedgie Jeans

August 8, 2025 by DENIMandPATCHES

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but a couple of years ago Levi released a pair of jeans that purposely gives you a wedgie. This goes against the natural way of things since most of us prefer to AVOID wedgies. But if Khloe Kardashian can make camel toes a thing, then maybe the wedgie can make a stand while giving your tush a little help as well.

According to Levi, Levi’s Wedgie Jeans, yes, that is their actual name, “accentuates the waist and fits snug through the hips – designed to highlight a women’s curves.”

Essentially, they were promising the perfect pair of jeans that would give any wearer “that perfectly round derriere.”

Let’s go over the pros and cons of this new trend.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LEVI’S WEDGIES

1. THE “DERRIERE” WAS CERTAINLY FLATTERED

Image via Daily News

According to the testers at RealSimple, the jeans appear to follow a woman’s natural curves allowing for the flexibility preventing them from pushing your bottom into an unnatural shape.

The presence of wide pockets on the back helps to create a round shape even if your tush tends to be on the flatter side. This is welcome news for those of us not endowed with the back assets.

The editors of InStyle tested them with editors with tushes ranging from large and round to “non-existent” with each stated that indeed the Wedgie Fit Jeans does indeed deliver on their promise of a perfectly round tush. Or at least more there then before the jeans.

2. HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL

Levi’s Wedgies are made of 100% cotton and deliver on their traditional commitment to high quality denim. The quality gives the jeans a bit of stiffness that helps them hold their shape, which is an advantage to them holding your tush in shape.

Most jeans are being made with Lycra-infused material giving them the stretchy feel and aesthetic we’ve become used to feeling in our jeans, but this stretch has the disadvantage of not giving the support and shaping that these jeans seem to give.

3. PROVIDES THE “IT” FIT

These jeans are definitely popular. Anthropologie’s website states that they are sold out and other style stores stock enthusiastically. Comments on Levi’s website show how enthusiastic customers are about these Wedgies, stating that the jeans make their bum look fabulous and round.

Giving the jeans 4 out of 5 stars, these jeans are one of the “It” jeans of the season. Levi’s wedgies seem to fit a diversity of women with bodies of all shapes and sizes. They are a modern take on classic jeans and don’t bunch up or bag out due to the high-quality cotton material. That is something to bow your hat to.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE WEDGIES

1. THE WAIST IS TOO SNUG

Image via Style This Life

One consistent complaint about the jeans from testers at both InStyle and RealSimple is the jeans fitting too snugly around the waist. As high-rise jeans, this can become a bit uncomfortable throughout the day.

It also might have an effect on the sizing as the consensus is that perhaps it would be better to get a size up on the jeans so the fit can be a bit more comfortable around the waist. This could lead to you losing a bit of the shaping effect, but your bum might thank you.

2. PERMANENT WEDGIES ARE STILL UNCOMFORTABLE

According to a BuzzFeed staffer at BuzzFeed, these jeans also do deliver on the wedgie promise. Stating that trying to sit felt like taking “a trip to hell and back” because of the affect on her lady bits. A practice lung brought on another line of fire.

Here suggestion? Perhaps take breaks and give the area a breather throughout the day for those with larger assets to offset the wedgie effects on the area.

The staff member’s conclusion was that the jeans delivered its promise. Its cute design and fit will make the trip worth it for those who are “into ‘em.”

3. LIMITED MOBILITY

While the snug fit helps the shaping effects of the jeans, as stated above, it also affects the mobility of the wearer. Most of the testers at InStyle agreed that they usually preferred high-rise, stretchy jeans that had a bit of grip and were not used to the stiffness of the wedgie jeans material.

Most also agreed that they loved the overall effects of the jeans on their bottom and were surprised at how well it made their tush look. They also stated that the jeans did loosen throughout the day and relaxed with time.

Overall, the jeans seemed to deliver on the promise for the perfect tush and had the women feeling “like a million bucks.” Though they are sold out on some sites you can find your pair on the Levi website.

Denim Washes: How to Choose the Most Flattering One on You

August 8, 2025 by DENIMandPATCHES

For most people, the only way to update a denim supply is to look for a new cut or an artful distressed look. After all, distressed is the in style look these days. But there’s a way to be more adventurous with your jeans that doesn’t involve cutting holes in them (not that we’re against it). The answer is to explore different denim washes.

Denim washing dates back to the 70s. At the time, most people did it to make their jeans more comfortable. But today, this technique is the magic behind the different types of jeans you see in magazines and the streets. From distressed to bleached denim washes, we can guarantee there are various options you’ve not tried that would look amazing on you.

First Things First: What is Denim Wash and Why Does It Matter?

Denim washing refers to the aesthetic finish imparted on denim fabric to improve its softness and comfort. Besides, the washing process allows the manufacturer to achieve different styles, such as faded and distressed looks.

However, not all jeans undergo the washing process. Some only go through a dyeing process and are referred to as dry denim. The benefit of dry denim is that you can enjoy in it’s “new” state and achieve the washed look as the fabric fades and ages.Understanding the different types of denim washes not only gives you an insight into the manufacturing process but also allows you to diversify your style by trying different options you probably didn’t know existed.

TYPES OF DENIM WASHES YOU SHOULD KNOW

Several technological factors go into making denim the fashion icon it is today. Over the years, the fabric has undergone vast improvements in weaving, finishing, and spinning. One of the most crucial steps in the jeans creation process is denim washing. It’s a vital step because it’s the only way manufacturers can achieve the look customers want. So which are the popular denim washing methods? Let’s find out.

Dyed Denim

When most people think about denim, the first thing that comes to mind is blue jeans. That’s probably because blue jeans were the first to be invented. However, today, you can find jeans in almost all colors. The fabric has to undergo a dyeing process to achieve a specific color on denim material.

Dyeing is quite different from other denim washes in the sense that it has a different effect; it aims at creating a more concentrated appearance. No matter the color, the fabric has to be dipped and oxidized severally to achieve the desired color. The more dipping and oxidization, the more vibrant the color of the jeans will be. The demand for colored jeans started back in the 90s, and it hasn’t stopped to date.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting is a technique that aims at producing large light-colored patches on the surface of the jeans. This trend became popular in the early 2000s. The jeans are stone washed, chemically treated, or abraded using sandpaper to achieve the look.However, most manufacturers have dropped this technique after employees developed lung cancer and silicosis. Nonetheless, you can still find jeans with this technique on the market.

Acid Wash

Acid wash is also among the must-have denim washes you’ll come across. Most people consider it an 80s piece of clothing, but it dates back to the 60s. And surprisingly, manufacturers use no acid in the manufacturing process. Back in the day, they used pool chemicals to achieve the acid wash look. Today, manufacturers use a combination of stone washing and chemical treatment.

They add pumice stones and chlorine in a large cylinder and treat the jeans. The result is a nearly bleached look between the indigo dye and worn fabric. Most people consider it a retro looking seeing that it’s associated with a specific period in time. For this reason, you have to make it the center of your outfit whenever you wear it to make a statement.

Stone Washing

Stone washing is similar to acid washing. It aims at producing spider web-like patches of light and worn patterns across the fabric. The technique is quite straightforward. The denim undergoes treatment in a large cylinder containing stones, which pound the jeans to achieve the look.

Stonewashed jeans were among the customer favorite denim washes back in the 90s. However, you can still get them today, although the technique may be somewhat lowkey.

Distressed

Just as the name suggests, distressed jeans are the type that looks aged even when they’re new. Manufacturers use different techniques to achieve the distressed look depending on which look they want to produce. Some of the popular methods include acid washing, sandblasting, and stone washing.

Distressed jeans tend to have patches of light colors on the surface, frayed edges, and seams, and sometimes some areas are completely destroyed. In short, these are the kind of jeans you think twice before wearing when you’re planning to meet the inlaws. They’re also not the best choice for people who play it safe when it comes to fashion. It takes someone bold to rock these type of jeans.

Enzyme Washing

Enzyme washing is an excellent alternative to stone washing. The goal of the technique is to achieve the aged look with bright patches on the fabric. Enzyme washing is better than stone washing for two reasons. For starters, it’s an environmentally friendly technique (which is what we need in this day and age).It’s also easy on the jeans. While the enzymes eat away at the exposed cellulose on the jeans, they don’t weaken the fabric’s composition. As a result, enzyme washed jeans tend to be more durable compared to stonewashed denim.

PICK THE RIGHT DENIM WASHES FOR A SOPHISTICATED LOOK

There’s no doubt that light and dark blue jeans offer a timeless look. Not to mention, you can wear them with something as simple as a white t-shirt and still look great. But why would you play it safe when there so many denim washes to try out? As they say in fashion, life’s too short to wear boring clothes. So let’s find out how to pick the right denim washes to achieve a stunning look for any occasion.

Casual VS. Formal

The first thing you always need to do is to consider what type of occasion you are buying the jeans for. Is it a meeting with your boss or a hangout with your friends? If it’s the former, you need denim washes that scream formal. Dark denim washes are excellent for formal occasions. To achieve a classic formal look, men can wear jeans with a work shirt, belt, and formal shoes.

For the ladies, an official top and heels will do the trick. Flat shoes are also an excellent way to go if you’re not a fan of heels. If you need a pair of casual denim, light denim washes are excellent. You can pair them with a white t-shirt or a colorful one and your favorite pair of sneakers, and you’re good to go.

Durability

How many jeans have you decided you’ll only wear at home because they look nothing like how they looked when you bought them. We’ve all been there. You buy a pair of rich colored jeans only for them to fade into a completely different color after a few washes. The jeans quality and durability determines how long they’ll stay in perfect condition. Therefore, when shopping for jeans, it’s also essential to consider durability.Dark denim washes, especially dyed ones, tend to fade with frequent washing. Fortunately, the color won’t disappear overnight. It happens gradually. You can slow the fading process by reducing the number of washes. Instead of washing your jeans after every wear, clean them when they’re visibly dirty. That way, you’ll maintain the color longer, which is fantastic because you won’t have to buy another pair soon.

Is Distressed a Good Look?

Apart from color and durability, you’ll also have to choose between distressed denim washes and more laid back designs. Again, it boils down to what type of setting you plan to wear the jeans. Distressed jeans are excellent for casual settings, where there’s more freedom to wear whatever you want.

But don’t wear them to a meeting or brunch with your inlaws (unless they’re really cool and you’re 100 percent certain they won’t mind your way of dressing).

Styling is Key

One thing all denim washes have in common is that the styling must be impeccable for you to stand out. For instance, it’s not advisable to wear a shirt or t-shirt in the same color as your jeans. Doing so makes it look as if you’re in a one-piece suit, which is never a good look. For a stunning look, always ensure there’s a contrast between the colors you choose.For example, if you have dark wash denim, it’s best to wear a light colored shirt. You should also consider your accessories and shoes because they also have the power to make or break your look.

Fit is Everything

It doesn’t matter if you have the best denim washes in your closet if they’re all ill-fitting. The wrong fit draws the wrong kind of attention, and you definitely don’t want that. Therefore, when shopping for jeans, always make sure the fit is alright, and it frames your body in a flattering way. One way to ensure you have the right size is by trying the jeans on before buying them. And if you’re shopping online, make sure you know your measurements before ordering.

To Flatter or To Hide?

When trying to decide between different denim washes, it’s also vital to understand what you need. Do you need a denim wash that draws more attention to your curves or one that doesn’t? Lighter colors draw more attention compared to darker shades.

Therefore, if you want a pair of jeans that accentuates your curves, bright colors like light blue and white are the way to go. However, if you have killer curves and you’d like less attention, darker shades would be the best choice for you.

DIVERSIFY YOUR STYLE

We all love blue jeans. It’s a staple that never goes out of style. But with all the denim washes available today, you’d be missing out if you only limited yourself to blue jeans. Some denim washes like distressed jeans seem a bit risky if you have a reserved fashion style, but there are so many more styles to try out.

So stop limiting yourself. Try white jeans, acid washed jeans, and other bold colors you haven’t tried before. Who knows, you may find a new favorite denim wash. Which is your favorite denim wash, and why? Please share your views and thoughts in the comments section below. We love hearing from our readers.
