  Hi guys!

  Guess my new favorite denim brand?

  …..The answer is already obvious

  

   

  I was a fan of GUESS kids when I was a young girl, I remember I had lots of jeans, tops and sneakers from them (yes I was quite the impish tomboy haha). Fast forward 20 years and I’ve rediscovered GUESS again – I’ve fallen in love with their superb denim range! I mean it, and you will soon see why.

   

  

  Their stores have specially trained denim specialists on hand to not only provide you with interesting knowledge, but also help you find your perfect fit with their advice and tips.

   

   

  So I learnt that GUESS Denim is purely handcrafted. Thus while consistency is maintained in their designs, there are still some slight differences in every pair; which means to say, every pair of GUESS Jeans is UNIQUE!

  Now don’t all of us want to feel a bit special?

   

  There are several different fits (and tons of colors!) to choose from:

  

  Power Skinny (Best Seller)

  Legging Fit, Low Rise, Ultra Skinny Leg

   

  Brittney Skinny

  Slim Fit, Medium Rise, Skinny Leg

   

  Brittney Petite Skinny

  Petite Fit , Medium Rise, Skinny Leg

   

  Sofia Skinny Curvy

  Curvy Fit, Medium Rise, Skinny Leg

   

  Daredevil Boot

  Slim fit, Low Rise, Boot

   

   

  After finding your favorite fits, you can choose from different types:

  Core the basic collection

  Fashion includes details like embellishments, distress treatment etc .

  Premium is the highest quality; e,g : using Italian fabric

   

  The extensive range of cuts and colors bowled me over, I had a hard time not deciding just what to get, but which to try on because I wanted to try them all.

  Of course, GUESS not only carries denim. Their boutiques carry a large selection of stylish apparels and sexy shoes, infused with a blend of American Western and European sensibility (the brand, after all, is French).

  

   

  As I went around the store, there was a fury of colors as all sorts of shirts, printed tops and soft sweaters flew off the shelves. I was enthusiastically picking up items to match with the jeans I was going to try. GUESS has a lot of nice stuff, so I must say I had a really good time! Which girl doesn’t like shopping, right? ;P

  My changing room was filled to the brim with piles of delectable clothes.

  
  My mission:
  Style myself in 4 different outfits.
  

   

  After selecting what I was going to wear, I went shoe shopping. (Hurrah! Another thing I love!)

  

  

  Ready to view the four GUESS denim looks I personally put together?

  Lets go:

   

  Rugged Sexy

   

  

  

   

  

  

   

  Wearing: Power Skinny (Loud Wash)
  
  Comment: The first classic design made by Guess. Beautifully stone washed (by hand) and the color is an evergreen denim shade to last through all seasons. I like the zip at the ankles for versatile styling, it lends a little edge.

   Modern Bella

   

  

   

  Wearing: Brittney Skinny (Chershire Purple)

  Comment: I adore the color of these individually dyed jeans! It’s not really purple but more of a very pretty dusty pink. The little rips give it character.

   

   

  Slouchy Luxe

   

  

   

   Wearing: Brittney Skinny (Candor 5 Wash)

  Comment: I’d wear these on those lazy, chill days when I want to be casual and comfortable. It’s a gorgeous light denim, and also stone washed by hand. Hence the tones of color are very authentic, not fake-looking like many of the machine made ones. The little silver studs and logo on the back pockets are applied by hand as well, gorgeous!

   

  Party Rock

   

  

   

  Wearing: Power Skinny (Ombre Jet Black)
  

  Comment: Individually dyed, these jeans are a stand-out wardrobe piece with it’s distinctive graduations in color. Grey or black? It’s both! I love the statement look of this pair with its touch of dark mystery.

   

  Once again, all matching separates and shoes I chose are from GUESS.

  Overall Verdict:
  I always have a hard time finding jeans that fit a petite girl like myself – either the crotch area isn’t cut right, the length is too long, or when it comes to skinny jeans, the shape or ankle area is always too loose (whadya mean they’re skinny???)

   

  GUESS jeans are AMAZING.

  • The fit and cut blew me away. The denim clung to all the right places!

  • The Power Skinny is powerfully skinny all the way from top to bottom, just the way I like it. And in the case of the Brittney Skinny, the ankle cut is just perfect, not super tight but not too loose either, and falls in a tapered manner very nicely.
  • Length wise, they must be made for Asian sizes because I found no need to alter the lengths at all, as you can see.
  • The back pockets sit high up and accentuate your butt, making it look perky. Jeans with ill-fitting back pockets are a big no-no!

  Denim jeans have gone from a laborer’s uniform long ago, to a modern day staple in everyone’s wardrobe.

  If you’re looking to find some great pairs…

   I dare you to guess which GUESS campaign picture of Claudia Schiffer was taken in 1989.

  23 years on and the supermodel still looks stunning, just as how GUESS is still the perennial brand of sexy cool.
