High-end Jeans for Children

And you thought you already spent a fortune on kids’ clothes! Now, many of the hot designer denim labels have children’s jeans. Playground fashions will never be the same. Get a load of these premium jeans for lucky boys and girls.
Warning: Prepare yourself for price tag shock.

True Religion
True Religion jeans are the pinnacle of denim fashion. These super expensive jeans are hugely popular with celebrities including Jessica Simpson and Eva Longoria. And now, they come in pint-sized versions. Even the ultimate mini-fashionista, Madonna’s daughter Lourdes, has been spotted wearing her True Religion jeans all over London.

The True Religion children’s jeans feature TR’s trademark topstitched button-flap back pocket and the distressed style that they are famous for. Their unisex kids’ jeans are as well made as the adult versions and just as stylish with attention to trendy cuts such as low-rise waists and flared hems.

7 For All Mankind
If you never heard of 7 For All Mankind jeans then you probably haven’t read a magazine or watched TV in the past few years. These high-style jeans are huge! From celebrities to well-dressed soccer moms, everyone is clamoring for a pair of Sevens. Adult fans claim that Sevens make them look taller and thinner and therefore worth the $150 and up price tags.

Just like the grown-up versions, 7 for All Mankind’s children’s jeans use the back pockets to display works of thread art; each style of sevens exhibits a different back-pocket stitching including the original line and squiggle pattern. Kids’ Sevens are available from size 4 in both girls’ and boys’ styles.

Rock and Republic Kids
Rock and Republic Jeans are a favorite of adult celebrities like Britney Spears, Tyra Banks and Jessica Alba, but these rocking hot jeans aren’t just for big people any more. Now mini-fashionistas and too-cool dudes can look as cool as their favorite pop star in a pair of Rock and Republic jeans.

Diesel
Diesel is a forerunner in the urban-rustic look. Their jeans are famous the world round for their hip yet rugged look; their collections are simply massive including not only jeans but other trousers, tops, jackets and more. You name it, they have it. All of their clothing embodies a young, urban, rustic lifestyle.

Diesel kids’ jeans are just as funky and edgy as the adult Diesels. I promise you, there are no denim-like kids’ trousers in this collection. Their children’s collection is extensive and full of excellent, hip wear for cool urban kids.

Paper Denim and Cloth
These jeans are gaining popularity and notoriety as the definitive in luxury jeans. Paper Denim and Cloth prides themselves on creating jeans by blending contemporary American styling with premium imported denims and authentic hand finishing.” The high prices of their jeans are due to the limited number of jeans they create each year, spending more effort on quality and attention to detail rather than on high production yields.

Paper Denim and Cloth children’s jeans even come in 1yr size. Jr. doesn’t know a thing about high fashion, but that doesn’t mean he can’t wear it. These kiddie jeans include the same quality features that the adult versions do, including their famed needle back pockets and j-stitch detailing.

The Fun and Funky look for Girls

The Fun and Funky Look is for the girl who has loads of personality and loves to stand out in the crowd. The best thing about this look is that it has no rules, limits or boundaries because it’s all about expressing her true personality. Achieving this look is easy; have fun pairing up patterns, bright colors and fun accessories to come up with a look that is 100% original.

What She’ll Need for the Look

Fun Tops
Any kind of top will work so long as it’s fun, bright and interesting. A plain top works if you are pairing it up with something else that is patterned. Let her pick her favorite design and look. Choose tees that have funny sayings or graphics. Layer pieces over one another for a look that has more depth.

Pants, Skirts or Shorts
Basic denim can be jazzed up with some personalization like worn-in holes at the knee or embellishments. Denim skirts are great for this look because it gives the wearer an opportunity to show off her funky socks and footwear.

Tights or Socks
Funky tights or socks are so much fun. My favorite are striped tights in wild colors. Look around for fun patterned tights and socks in bright colors, fun patterns or interesting textures.

Whatever Else She Likes
Anything she feels helps to express her fun and funky attitude is fair game for this look.

Choosing Accessories

Just about anything goes towards accessorizing a fun and funky outfit. Accessories are key to achieving this look. Some suggestions are:

• Sequined Sashes
• Brightly Colored Handbags or Backpacks
• Hats
• Ties
• Make-it Yourself Jewelery
• Shoelace Nametags or Baubles
• Badges and Pins

Choosing Footwear

Choose fun shoes in bright colors like traditional Chuck Taylor All-stars, funky boots, funky pair of Mary Janes are too cute. For warmer months, pick up some cool sandals and flip flops in bright colors.

Selecting Denims for Kids

Jeans. They are a staple of the modern wardrobe. Everyone wears jeans, especially kids. Parents love them because they match just about everything, making it easier to get kids dressed. Kids love them because they are comfortable and durable. Jeans are the perfect trousers for going to school, playing outside or just hanging out.

These days, however, jeans come in a multitude of washes, rises, cuts and fits. Reading the labels on jeans can get confusing. What does it all mean?

Wash

Wash refers to the color and finish of a pair of jeans.

• Dark Wash
  Dark washed jeans are the original denim; they are a deep indigo color and are often a bit stiff.
• Stone Washed
  These jeans are pre-washed and weathered to create a softer look and feel. The color is faded and the cotton in the jeans has a worn appearance.
• Dirty Wash
  Dirty washed jeans are like stone washed jeans in that they have been pre-washed to make them softer and to give them that worn-in look, but they have also been treated in a way that makes them appear dirty, or tinged beige, brown or khaki.
• Distressed
  Distressed jeans are highly faded and are finished off with holes, rips, tears and often fraying hems.

Rise

The rise on a pair of jeans determines how high or low the jeans will sit on the waist.

• Classic Rise
  This traditional denim look is quickly coming back in fashion. A classic rise comes right below or at the belly button.
• High Waist
  High waist jeans have a rise that comes above the belly button. For 2008-2009 we are seeing a few trouser style jeans with a high rise and wide pant leg.
• Low Rise
  Low rise jeans sit well below the belly button, above or just at the hip bones.
• Ultra-Low Rise
  These jeans sit even lower than low rise jeans, usually below the hip bones.

Cut

The cut of a pair of jeans refers to how the garment is shaped; this usually refers to the legs of the jeans.

• Straight Leg
  Straight leg jeans have a uniform fit from the top of the pant leg to the bottom. The bottom does not flare out, nor does it come in at the ankle.
• Boot Cut
  Boot cut jeans are slim in the thigh area and begin to angle out below the knee to make a moderately wide hem at the bottom.
• Skinny
  The skinny jean is tight throughout. These jeans usually have a higher percentage of elastic in the denim to keep them slim yet comfortable.
• Flare Leg
  Like boot cut jeans, flare leg jeans angle out below the knee, but much more so, creating a bell-like shape at the hem.

Length

The length of a jean determines where on the leg the hem will hit.

• Classic Length
  The hem on a classic length pair of jeans should come below the ankle and stop at the heel.
• Ankle Length
  Ankle length jeans should fit with the hem coming down to above the ankle bone.
• Capri Length
  Capris are short jeans, with the hem stopping at mid-calf level.

Fit

The fit of a pair of jeans refers to how the garment sits on the body; it especially refers to the seat and thigh area.

• Slim Fit
  Slim Fit jeans are tight in the seat and thigh area.
• Regular Fit
  Regular fit jeans are slim in the seat and thigh area, but are roomy enough to be comfortable.
• Relaxed Fit
  These jeans are roomy in the seat and thigh area, but not baggy.
• Loose Fit
  Loose fit jeans are very roomy and often baggy throughout.
