Tips for Buying Teens Wholesale Designer Jeans

Designer jeans come in many different styles, colors and brands. Every person’s body is made differently, so finding jeans with that perfect fit is a unique experience for every shopper. Shopping online for wholesale designer jeans can be tricky as well. Teens especially are concerned with style, fit and brand name. Here are some great tips to help teens find those perfect jeans. Finding a Good Fit Every body is shaped differently, so the fit of the jeans is important. Jeans must fit well on the waist, hips, crotch, thighs, and around the legs and ankles. There are several different types of fit: straight leg, boot cut, hipsters, carpenter, cargo, loose fit, low rise, flared and relaxed. Most teens choose jeans for the look, but it’s important that the fit is right too. Comfort and the ability to be flexible while wearing the jeans should also be a deciding factor when buying designer jeans. The great thing about shopping online for wholesale designer jeans is teens get to choose from many different fits to find the perfect pair of jeans. Many sites that offer wholesale designer jeans have a vast selection of styles, fits and brand names at great prices. Brands such as Seven Jeans, Antik Denim, Polo, Bape, Red Monkey, True Religion Jeans, Juicy Couture, Rock & Republic and BBC can usually be found online at wholesale prices. They offer the designer jean selection every teen dreams about! Choosing Jean Color and Style Another focus for today’s jean fashions is style and color. No longer do jeans only come in one shape and color. They are available in many unique designs to fit every personality and preference. The colors and fabrics are washed in certain ways at the factory to give them a distinctive look and feel. Here are some of the jean styles and colors available today: *Crosshatch: Denim weave has a cross-stitch type pattern. *Vintage: An old, worn look. *Polished: Denim without blasts or tints, in its pure form. *Frayed: Has tattered edges along the leg bottoms, pockets, waistline, etc. *Whiskered: Blasts that make “cat whiskers” appear around the front fly area. *Distressed: Have released hems and look beat up. *Ring-spun: Brings out a vertical pattern in the denim. *Tinted: Blasts of color such as rose or khaki. Online Shopping Tips Having such a great selection of jeans online makes it easier to find both the right fit and style. Check with an online mall that sells wholesale designer jeans and do a search according to the brand you’re looking for. Then browse through the selection of jeans to find the right size and style. If the measurements aren’t available, do an online search for the measurements of that particular brand and size. You might be able to find measurements for almost any type of jeans online. Knowing the measurements, you can buy with confidence that the jeans will fit. Also, be sure the company you are buying from offers a return or exchange policy in case the fit isn’t right when you receive the jeans. Knowing which brand names suit you will also make it easier to shop online. Designer jeans by companies like Polo, Antik Denim, Red Monkey, Bape, BBC, Rock & Republic, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, Seven Jeans, True Religion Jeans and others will usually be consistent in the way they fit if you stay with one particular brand. Finding wholesale designer jeans online not only saves money and time, but also opens the door to a broad selection of stylish jeans.

Fashion Tips For the Plus Size Teen

A plus size teen can look GOOD. It means knowing what your body type is and shopping for clothes that are right for you. Here are some general tips that will work no matter what your body type.

1) Say bye, bye to baggy clothes. While a lot of plus size girls wear baggy clothes as a way to cover up the excess pounds, all that is really accomplished is making you look larger than you really are. No matter what size you are, you have something positive to display. Don’t hide it under baggy clothes. Instead, buy clothes in your proper size or, at most, one size larger.

2) Take a good look at yourself and determine what your best features are. If you are too judgmental, ask a good friend to help you out. Think about your positives and accentuate them. Do you have thin legs? Then don’t hesitate to wear a short skirt. Have a large, beautiful bust line? Wear that V or scooped neck T.

3) Bring attention to the best parts of your body by using vibrant colors and bold patterns. If brilliant colors aren’t for you, go with more muted tones such as burgundy, teal and plum. Stand out. There is no longer any need to blend into the background.

4) Accessorize. Accessorize. Accessorize. Don’t give up on yourself and do nothing. You can be bold. You can be stylish. Check out the latest hairstyles with your hairdresser. Get a free makeover at the makeup counter and choose a few items to use everyday. Pay attention to your shoes. Wearing pants? If you are top heavy, you can wear heavy clog-type shoes to balance out your appearance. Wearing a skirt with your slender legs? Draw attention to them with sexy sandals.

5) Shop where you are comfortable. Women who shop where they are not comfortable usually shop in a hurry. They tend to grab clothes off the rack, throw them on in the dressing room, and head home with what is ‘OK’. That is not longer for you. When you are comfortable shopping you take your time looking through the racks, checking out what styles and colors are right for you. You take time in the dressing room, looking this way and that. And you go home with clothes that will make you a standout.

Holiday Shopping Ideas for Your Teen


Teenagers are arguably the hardest ones to shop for. They are going through many changes and mood swings and one is never too sure what they truly will enjoy. Especially with technology and styles changing so quickly shopping for your teenager can put you on the good or bad side very quickly. Given the difficulty of deciding on gift ideas, here are some helpful suggestions to put a smile on that hormone driven teenager.

One gift that ever teenager wants would be an MP3 Player or IPOD. Most likely the IPOD because they tends to be the “in” thing, however even phones are able to do the same trick. Surprise your teen with a new phone. Each carrier has many different options, colors, and designs. This way you serve two purposes, one a way to stay in touch and two your teen gets to enjoy listening to music. Of course it is also more cost effective to buy one phone that can play music than a phone and an IPOD.

Another piece of technology that teens will enjoy this holiday season is a portable DVD player. Of course I would not recommend this be taken to school, but on those long car rides, it would sure be nice to occupy your bored teenagers with a movie player. Or maybe you can all enjoy watching a DVD together. A little family time could never hurt.

Game systems, video games, portable gaming now belongs to children of all ages, but certainly teenagers will never refuse. These days’ teens can enjoy gaming wherever they are, at home or in the car. Getting them an Xbox, WII or PS3 this holiday will definitely win you cool points with them and their friends. Video games never get old and they are making some that improve your mind, eyes and vocabulary. Learning is now fun and disguised as a video game. Of course one may argue that teens already spend enough time by themselves with their friends. Why can’t we do a family activity together? Ok, there are games like “Scene It” or “Guitar Hero” that plug into your television and create some family friendly competition. Go up against your teen to see who can play the best lead guitar. You will look like the coolest parent. Plus they can always invite their friends over to play at home, rather than using your precious gas and money at the mall.

Cameras and Camcorders are another gift idea that will definitely bring a smile to your teen’s face. They can take pictures or video of their family, friends and outings. Make a cool photo album or add a video to You-tube. Your teen will be creative and inventive with these gifts. Another idea to keep the creativity rolling is a new computer. Desktop or notebook computers are probably more affordable now than they ever were. Plus they come with printers or cameras. A teen in today’s world should know how to use a computer, not only to type a paper or get a job, but to be inventive and creative. Did you see the commercial the kid made with his i-phone? It was amazing and featured on television. Could your teen create the next commercial or write a song? The software is out there to help. Even though the internet may not be the safest place for a teen, the computer can still provide some valuable skills.

Enough gifts for the indoors, here are some suggestions if you would want your teen to be outside. Maybe a new snowboard, wakeboard, paintball gun, skateboard, basketball hoop, softball tee, and there are many other ideas. Just choose an activity that he or she enjoys or that you can play together. It is never too late to learn a new sport with your teen.

Shopping for your teen this holiday season should now be a little easier with these helpful suggestions. Now your moody hormone ridden teen can wear a smile on their face and so can you.
