I really really wanted to have a list of recommendations for Abercrombie’s denim sale, but let’s instead use this opportunity to talk about what I avoid in denim. Whiskering is the effect of fading lines on jeans to mimic the creases you get with years of wear. Good whiskering is slightly chaotic and definitely not symmetric. It’s supposed to look natural, not planned. Bad whiskering is regular and straight. It’s faded lines that go horizontally and form a pattern that’s so equidistant it mimics a notepad. I’m disappointed if my jeans start developing a crinkled texture after a few washes. Abercrombie jeans all looked crinkled before their first trip to the laundry. I cannot recommend them. The fits look good online. Perhaps they are flattering for a lot of people. I recognize they’re a beloved denim brand. I cannot, however, recommend them. LTKMostLoved LTKVideo LTKstyletip
