Get the Skinny on the Cigarette Jean by Mek Denim!

Cover of Funny Face (50th Anniversary Edition)

When thinking about Audrey Hepburn's beatnik dance scene in "Funny Face," you can't help but picture that signature cigarette pant that looked so amazing on Ms. Hepburn. The fashion industry is giving a nod to this timeless fashion icon by bringing back her super slim cut style this season in denim and pants.

How is the Cigarette Jean different from a regular skinny jean? It is typically an ankle length jean with a super slim leg opening. The Island Harbour by Mek Denim is our favorite version of this style with Mek Jean's signature "M" flap pockets. It's slightly dirty wash and ankle zippers definitely give it that biker chic look.

We love the cigarette jean with a slim cut motorcycle jacket and feminine blousy top. A belted boyfriend blazer and tee would also be a stylish addition to a cigarette jean! The ankle length leg works with flats, heels or boots so you can continue to reinvent this jean into dozens of looks.

Not many of us have that Audrey Hepburn body, but this look is still possible! If you have a curvier shape, just make sure that your top is a fuller cut and that it doesn't stop at the widest part of your body. Wearing a tight fitting top will only exaggerate your curves and draw attention to the widest area. Give it a try and experiment with different lengths and types of tops to find out what is the most slimming for you. Make it your own!

New Trend in Jeans- Organic Denim

Although the green movement has been around for decades, it has just recently been elevated from a small cult following of politicians, celebrities and "hippies" (for lack of a better word) to a mainstream movement. At The Denim Shop we do our best to recycle and reuse when possible and believe that being green is something anyone can aspire to on whatever level is comfortable for them.
Green, organic clothing is a fairly new concept in maintaining an earth friendly lifestyle. Organically made clothing can fit into several categories. Some organic clothing is simply made from organic materials such as cotton which has been grown free from chemical pesticides and with earth friendly farming techniques. Other clothing is organically treated, using as few chemicals as possible during it's processing so that neither you or the earth is absorbing chemicals that are unnecessary.
In recognition and support of those embracing cleaner lifestyles, we have gradually started adding organic denim to our assortment of jeans. You will notice these denims are darker in color since they have not had the amount of chemical processing and fading that is used on most denim. The denim is soft and comfortable like other denim, but seems to hold it's shape better since it's fibers have not been weakened by chemicals.
Currently, we offer organic denim from MEK and !iT Jeans, but will be looking to add more brands in the near future.
