How to Buy Embellished Jeans

If you want to find an item of clothing that can be your statement piece, consider finding an embellished pair of jeans. Whether you prefer details such as rhinestones, embroidery, patches or colored stitching, there are numerous options to select from today, and you can find embellished jeans in all different price ranges.

Things You'll Need

• Boots or shoes
• T-shirt
• Purse
• Simple silver or gold necklace
• Fashion magazines

Instructions

1. Look through current fashion magazines to get some ideas of embellished jeans that appeal to you. You can also do a search online and see what embellished styles many celebrities are wearing.

2. Set a budget for this purpose, since the range of options can come at many different price points. Realize that you can find a jeweled or embroidered pair of jeans at discount stores and junior mall chain shops for under $50, or you can splurge on a designer pair of jeans decorated by hand with high-quality stones and detail work for $1,000 or more.

3. Check specialty boutiques and small stores that carry independent local designers for some mid-range versions of embellished jeans. Some of these types of options are apt to run you a few hundred dollars or less and can be unusual and eye-catching, too, making them a good investment.

4. Look for fit as well as extra special details. Make sure that whatever jeans you choose play up your figure so people look at you, not just at what you are wearing.

5. Find embellished jeans that are tasteful and will look good with the types of tops and shoes you wear. You want your jeans to be an accent to your outfit but want to avoid selecting something that looks overdone or like a costume.

6. If rhinestones and sequins are more sparkly than you like, opt for embroidered denims, graphic trims or even just colored stitching or unusual rivets.

Tips & Warnings

• When you wear embellished jeans, keep your other accessories simple. Pair them with a classic fitted T-shirt or sweater and elegant silver or gold chains and keep other jewelry to a minimum.

• If you can't find embellished jeans that fit well and work within your budget, consider decorating a pair of jeans you already own with your own embellishments. You can buy nice quality rhinestones, beaded trim and sequined patches at a fabric or craft store.

• Check the quality of embellishments to be sure any jeans you are considering are made well enough to hold up to real life wear. (Understand that some of the very inexpensive, mass produced embellishments may fall off in your hands.)
