Trend Alert: Faded Jeans

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 07:00:22 -0800

Hear me out. Faded jeans may be reminiscent of the early '90s - a time when supermodels ruled the world - and is that such a bad thing? You may feel compelled to wear a pair with an off shoulder black v-neck sweater and Keds, and as a result look like early Cindy Crawford. Again, not so tragic in my book. But if you dig 'em and want to look modern, take a clue from Alexander Wang (pictured) who twinned the light denim with fun heels and silky textures. But hey, if you want to channel the supermodel heyday, be my guest.

Faded Jeans: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 18 May 2007 08:46:44 -0700

Celebs are not only embracing the wide leg jeans trend, they are also encouraging faded jeans. Even some of our stylish readers are sporting this look. Here, Life & Style shows Rachel Bilson, Kristin Cavallari and Jennifer Lopez in their white wash pairs. What do you think about this trend? I personally think it has to do with the silhouette and cut of the denim. I prefer my light jeans like Jennifer's: long, high waisted and wide or as cut off jean shorts.

Look of the Day: Rockin' the Faded Jeans

FabSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 15:17:55 -0700

BCBG_girl29 is definitely rockin' the faded jeans, which is normally a hard denim look to pull off. I like how she layered her tanks and threw on the antique-looking locket to round out the ensemble.

Here's what she has on:

Green Tank: C&C California
Black Tank: Rubbish
Jeans: Abercrombie & Fitch
Necklace: Nordstrom
Flip Flops: Gap

Congrats to BCBG_girl29!

Celeb Style: Monet Mazur

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Oh, Monet. You're relatively incognito, but when you do show your face - and bod - it's refreshing and ultra styley. The actress did some shopping in London in a casual gray monochrome 'fit. Her gold-studded Topshop sweater already has me obsessed, and her faded gray jeans are rugged chic. Neutral accessories, including tan Louboutin pumps, a gold ball ring, and an adorable knit beret, are spot-on. Happy shopping, Monet!

Keyhole Stud Jumper - $80.00	Women's Racerback Henleys - $14.50
Genetic Denim Shane Skinny Jean Silver - $196.00	Christian Louboutin Decollete 868 100 Patent Pumps - $597.00

Fab Finding Follow-Up: No Doubt!

FabSugar — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

A couple weeks ago, I saw No Doubt. It was awesome seeing the whole crew back together singing all of their hits – "Sunday Morning" was my fave performance. Side note: Gwen's abs inspired me to hit the gym! Besides the music, I enjoyed seeing everyone's concert gear. Looks ranged from cutoff shorts to touches of punk. Me? I wore this fun Topshop vest with short booties and a faded jean jacket. Since I already had my 'fit down, I asked you to show me what you would wear to No Doubt.

I started you off with this Alexander McQueen Silk Houndstooth Scarf ($575); I'm smitten with the contradiction between the print and the fabric. Let's see my top three picks!

Look #1, created by Sarahab145, is so eclectic and cool. No doubt, Gwen would appreciate this outfit.

Simply Fab: Michael Jackson Tribute Tee

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:00:22 -0700

If you're going to pay respect to Michael Jackson, this is how you do it. In honor of the late and great King of Pop, Intermix and e.vil have teamed up to create a cool tee emblazoned with an image of the singer's iconic Moonwalk. I like the burnout effect and how the image is slightly faded. Pair it with black jeans, loafers, and you're set! Sadly, the exclusive tee is not available online but can be found at all Intermix locations.

Celebrity Style: Malin Akerman

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:02:49 -0800

While Malin is busy promoting her latest flick, Watchmen, I'm busy going gaga over her outfits. The actress's latest appearance in Toronto had her rocking an all-black, vampy ensemble. She played a sexy game of peekaboo in her sheer black ruffle blouse, with nothing underneath but a black bra. Smart of her to keep the rest of her body covered in faded black jeans and slouch boots. A black beaded necklace and black cocktail ring further feed the moodiness.

Rebecca Taylor Black Tie Back Top - $301.00	Wesc Eve Straight Leg Jeans in Worn Black Stretch - $143.00
Tall Cuffed Slouch Boot - $159.00	Faceted Bead & Chain Necklace - $6.80
Cosabella Microfiber Push-Up Bra - $74.00	Roncello - $8.00
Elizabeth and James Snake Wrap Ring - $125.00	Oblong Studded Belt - $10.80
Givenchy Handbag - $1,975.00

Fab Finger Discount: Paige Denim Roxbury Jean

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Faded jeans are still on the fashion circuit, as exemplified by the always-stylish Kate Bosworth and Balmain's Spring '09 collection. If you've been looking high and low for the perfect pair, let me end your search now with this Paige Denim Roxbury Jean ($53, originally $176).
While dark denim is a surefire way to look sophisticated, light-wash jeans adversely lend '80s cool and versatility. This pair will look equally amazing paired with a sheer floral blouse and simple white tee. Dress it up, dress it down - get it while it's hot and available!

Style for Style: How to Properly Wash Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:00:22 -0700

We all have a pair of favorite jeans that we want to last a lifetime. Unfortunately dry-cleaning is expensive and handwashing is a pain. The problem with machine washing and drying jeans is they tend to fade and lose their stretch over time. Fab to the rescue!

To learn how to care for jeans read more

Wear jeans a couple of times before washing - unless of course, they're dirty or have a stain. Less washing will help preserve the color of your jeans. Invest in a detergent that specializes in color washes such as Caldrea's Dark Wash ($12). Don't forget to wash in cold water - hot water will melt that gorgeous dark stain away. Also, set your dryer to low or medium heat to avoid over drying, which can cause your jeans to lose Lycra and thus, lose that precious stretch.
