Why Buy Used Designer Jeans?
Buying a pair of used designer jeans is the best thing ever. They are extra comfortable because they are already broken in, and extra stylish because they are designer. As a bonus, they cost much less than buying them new. Second-hand jeans are the way to go.
Is it even worth it to buy brand name jeans?
Oftentimes, it is. Designer jeans are well made, lasting well past their expiration date. The problem is that many people cannot afford the price tag, or do not want to spend the money on purchasing a pair of designer jeans, especially when there are bills to pay and things to do. Designer jeans are worth it because the quality of the materials used is better. It is sourced more ethically and the material is likely to last much longer than the low quality, cheap materials used to make jeans in bulk.
They take their time making and washing the jeans. The higher price tag is for a reason. Jeans that are sewn to perfection definitely feel different from those with seams that are slightly off or to the side. The skill of the person creating each pair is much higher, and you are paying for their abilities as well as the nicer material. It’s such a steal to buy a good pair of designer jeans for a lower cost. Your lower half will thank you!
DIY projects you can do with designer jeans.
There are plenty of unique DIY ideas you can do to your jeans. For example, since they are pre-owned designer jeans, you can try playing with fabric paint or fabric glue for some quirky DIY jean designs. You probably own a pair of scissors and can purchase fabric paint online or at most craft stores. You can also find paint brushes, sponges, and diamonds, or studs to decorate your jeans. Make a vine of flowers up the leg on one side, or cover your entire pair of jeans in bright yellow sunflowers. Cover them in small jewels to make people look twice. Bleach them to create a grunge look or come up with your own creative designs.
