Women's Jeans Guide from Smith & Edwards

All About Jeans: Women’s Jeans Guide

February 3, 2017 - posted by EmmaLee Sessions

If you’ve ever been shopping for women’s jeans then you understand exactly how frustrating it can be. Either they fit your waist and hips and you feel like you’re going to split the leg seams with every step, or they fit your thighs and hips and gap at the back of the waistband.

There is just no winning, or so it would appear. What you need to do is identify what you like and steer clear of things that don’t match up with that.

As discussed in our Men’s Jeans Guide, the way your jeans fit is about more than just comfort. It’s also about looking good, by finding what is most flattering for your body shape, and feeling better. Hopefully, the three aspects we discuss today, rise, leg opening, and fit, will help you in your quest for the mythical “perfect pair of jeans.”

Women’s Jeans: RISE

A jean’s rise is determined by how far the waistband of the jeans comes up the waist. The greater the distance is between the crotch and the waistband the higher the rise.

Women's jeans rises from highest to lowest.

Each brand varies from one another, but there are typically three main rises. You can approximate the rise of a jean by measuring from the crotch seam to the top of the front waistband.

Natural-Rise Ladies’ Jeans

Natural rise jeans, also called high-rise or performance rise, sit right at the waist. This rise is more than 10 1/2″ and help your legs look longer. These women’s jeans are perfect for those competing in rodeos, or for hard-working ladies that do a lot of bending in a day. Take a look at the variety of ladies’ natural rise jeans, like Wrangler 18MWZ or Cinch Jenna, we have here at Smith & Edwards.

Mid-Rise Ladies’ Jeans

Mid-rise jeans sit just below the waist or about an inch below the navel. This popular rise is neither too tall nor too short, measuring between 9″ and 11″. Most body types look flattering in this rise!

From Wrangler’s Cash and Q-Baby to Cinch Ada, Silver Aiko to Rock Revival, you’ll find something you love.

Low-Rise Ladies’ Jeans

Low-rise jeans sit a few inches below the navel. The rise is between 7 – 9-1/2″ and are most flattering on slender figures.

Keep in mind that “muffin tops” and “love handles” are often accentuated by this fit style. Check out our Wrangler Sadie and Cinch Bailey styles, and our selection of Rock Revival jeans.

You’ll find Women’s Jeans on our website, and even more styles in our Ogden, Utah store.

Ladies’ Jeans: LEG OPENING

In women’s jeans, there are so many different leg openings and it can get real confusing.

You may ask quite frequently, “When is the best time to wear ______________ jeans?” This leg opening section of my women’s jeans guide should help you out a lot!

Women’s Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are tight around your calf and are perfect to wear with fashion and western boots, most flats, and heels. They taper from the knee down and have an ultra low profile. This makes them perfect for showing off those red high heels or your favorite western kicks.

Take a look at our Cruel Girl Abby jeans. Cruel Girl and Cinch are sister companies and you can find multiple styles sold right here in our Ogden location.

Women’s Straight-Leg Jeans

Straight leg jeans have the next lowest profile and are extremely versatile. The bottom half of the pant leg goes straight down from the knee, so they are a little looser around your calf than skinny jeans. You’ll love these Silver Suki styles and the original Wrangler 14MWZ cowboy cut jeans in white and blue.

Ladies’ straight leg jeans tuck into boots fairly well and can be worn with most footwear. If you like the cuffed look, these jeans are perfect for getting an even cuff with no puckering.

Women’s Bootcut Jeans

Bootcut jeans are narrower in the knee than at the leg opening, so you can put the pant-leg over your boots. A lot of your western, riding, or work jeans are boot cut. You can also wear this style with your favorite pair of tennis shoes. They don’t cuff as well as your skinny or straight-leg jeans.

Wrangler’s Mae, Cash, and Classic Fit jeans are as hardworking and fashion forward as you are. Also check out the different Ariat styles we carry.

Women’s Wide Leg & Flare Leg Jeans

Wide leg and flare leg jeans have a very distinct flare. The hem of the pant-leg is wider than the knee. “Trouser cut” is one specific style of wide leg pants. We know you’ll love this Cruel Girl Jayley style with a trouser cut.

Cruel Denim Jayley Wide Leg women's jeans

Women’s Jeans: FIT

A jean’s fit is determined by how tightly it fits through your waist, hips, and thighs. Fit styles include slim, regular, relaxed, and loose fit.

Depending on the manufacturer of the jeans you’re looking at, you may see different terms or style names on the jean fit spectrum. This section will give you a base knowledge, but you’ll always want to check with the manufacturer to determine the most likely fit of the jeans you want to buy.

Ladies’ Slim Fit Jeans

Slim fit jeans hug your curves tightly and are narrow from the waist through the hips and thighs. Brands such as Rock Revival, Miss Me, and Grace in L.A. tend to have a slimmer fit. Take a look at these and other great brands in slim fit.

Ladies’ Regular Fit Jeans

Regular fit jeans hug your curves but offer a better range of movement than slim fit. They are a little looser between the waist, hips, and thighs. This common fit is flattering and comfortable.

We carry this fit in brands such as Silver, Ariat, and Wrangler styles 09MWZ, WRC10, and WRQ20.

Ladies’ Relaxed Fit Jeans

Relaxed fit jeans fit loosely through the waist, hip, and thigh. They are more comfortable than other fits because of the extra room and freedom of movement.

Cinch’s Ada and Bailey styles are the perfect jeans for that girl who needs to move! We also have a variety of Wranglers and other brands with this same great fit.

Ladies’ Loose Fit Jeans

Loose fit jeans have even more room through the hip and thigh. This fit is baggy through the waist, hip and thigh. They allow for better movement and added comfort. Many of your boyfriend-style jeans would be considered loose-fit jeans.

Tips for Caring for your New Jeans

Now that we have gone over all of the basics about a jean’s fit then you can be set free, right? Unfortunately, it’s not quite that easy. There are just a few final things to keep in mind when buying and caring for jeans.

First, just find what you are comfortable in. The next time you go shopping, take your favorite pair of jeans with you. This will help you find jeans similar in size, style, fit, and color to aid you in your shopping experience.

Next, learn how to care for your jeans. To ensure that jeans will fit the same way every time you wear them you need to wash them in cold water and avoid the dryer. Hot water and heated drying will cause your jeans to shrink and your jeans will be unable to recover.

One last thing to keep in mind is getting your jeans starched at the dry cleaner’s every once in a while. This will keep your jeans feeling and looking like new. It also helps to prolong the life of your jeans.

Pioneer Trek Outfit Ideas and Packing List

What You Need for Pioneer Trek

June 24, 2015 - posted by Rebecca Adams

The Pioneer Trek has become a popular activity for LDS church members. It’s an opportunity to experience a little bit of the life lived by the Utah pioneers. It is a way for them to learn and experience a little part of the challenges and sacrifices they faced as they made their way across the plains of America in search for religious freedom.

The Trek Experience

The trek is an opportunity to travel back in time and let go of everyday comforts and modern technology. Cell phones, cars, and cable are left at home and are replaced with handcarts, face-to-face conversation, and the great outdoors.

When you start your trek you are placed into a family that consists of a ma, pa, and siblings. The group is about ten people to a handcart as they travel up to 13 miles a day. Looking for a packing list to replace your misplaced list? Check out our Trek Packing List!

LDS Trek Outfit Ideas

A pioneer trek typically lasts for four days and travels through about 28 miles of rough terrain. As a participant of the trek you must be at least 14 years old and up to 18.

Being physically prepared is also very important: get out and walk for at least 60 minutes a day at least two weeks before the trek. Many activities are planned out as part of the pioneer experience: square dancing, spiritual meeting, and personal stories and history of the pioneers.

What do you Wear for Trek?

To fully appreciate and experience the pioneer trek, the clothing you wear will reflect those of a pioneer. LDS trek clothing can be a bit of a challenge, but our crew has been helping folks find the perfect outfit for several years – we’ll help you find the right pieces.

For women, broomstick skirts are an appropriate and cool piece of clothing. We’ve got this broomstick skirt in several colors! They wash easy, and they look best wrinkled – no ironing needed.

We added an apron over the skirt which is handy for pockets and keeping your skirt clean. You’ll want check out our selection of women’s hiking tops. The lightweight blouses will keep you cool and their button-down design will allow for multiple purposes.

Looking to be more period specific for trek? No problem! We also carry these great pullover options in the Scully brand. These 100% cotton blouses are durable and hard-working yet feminine and fashionable.

Many stakes and wards suggest taking a pair of good hiking boots, like these Merrells. You’ll definitely need a good pair that you’ve broken in. There’s nothing worse than hiking and blisters.

Ladies' Merrell Shoes are a great choice for Trek

If you do get a blister or two then you’ll want to have some moleskin with you. We carry Dr. Scholl’s and Adventure Medical Kits brands.

Add a bonnet for some shade and to help keep you cool. You can get this red gingham bonnet in-store or online.

Men’s LDS Trek Clothing

For a traditional men’s look, turn to the Scully brand. It’s got all you need for the traditional pioneer appearance. These pants have suspender buttons built-in so you can walk comfortably, and these pullover shirts look great as well.

For a more modern approach (and the promise of wearing your clothes after trek) you can check out these great products! Columbia, White Sierra, Stillwater Supply Co. and American Outback are great, lightweight options. They’ll keep ya cool and dry and many of the pant styles are convertible into shorts! You’ll wear these items over and over for many adventures to come.

Don’t forget those hiking boots! You can’t go wrong with Merrell, but we also carry other leading brands like Danner, Columbia and Hi-Tec. Keep a silk wild rag close to keep yourself cool in the summer heat.

Sitting in the Utah shade, this is a great men's outfit - and a bucket seat lets you stop for rest!

A Sunbody palm-leaf hat is a smart way to keep cool and keep your skin safe. You can wear a wide-brimmed palm leaf hat right off the shelf, or use a steamer to shape the hat in any way you like. Get a Sunbody hat online here. Men's LDS Trek outfit

What Else do I Bring?

Every stake and ward have different packing lists of what they want you to bring to the trek. Typically you’re asked to bring a bucket that holds your supplies. These ice fishing bucket seats have been popular here in the store for people going on Trek. They fit on both 5-gallon and 6-gallons and provide some much-appreciated cushioning.

Now you've got some great ideas for you or your son or daughter going on Trek!

Find everything you need all in one place as you shop for your trek at Smith & Edwards! More information on your pioneer trek can be found on your ward or stake’s Facebook page.

Menswear inspiration at Smith & Edwards: Men's Ranchwear

Ranch Menswear Inspiration

April 2, 2015 - posted by Misti Kosoff

The guys I see come in to Smith & Edwards who work a ranch, know what they like. They stick to the brands that work for them: Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat. As a wife, it’s straightforward to get him a new shirt or new pair of jeans that I know he’ll love – because it’s just like his old ones.

Get your hard-working husband a good new vest or pair of pants for Easter: he’ll be blown away by how well you “get” what he likes.

Menswear inspiration: Ranch Picks for SpringFrom functional and practical, to classic and just good looking, this ranch-inspired outfit has the hard-working rancher covered.

Wrangler’s 47MWZ premium performance, advanced comfort jean was built with the working cowboy in mind. An update of the 13MWZ western original jean, the 47MWZ has a more comfortable waist, larger front pockets – for that all-important cell phone, 20% longer lasting denim, and smoother seams. All that and it looks good, too.

The Wrangler Painted Desert Basic Work shirt is a classic that is built to last. Made of 100% 5oz solid twill, it is perfect for the spring weather but heavy enough to hold up against everyday wear and tear. We carry it in white, tan, and black – as well as this vivid red dye. Here’s another look, ladies…

Wrangler Desert Twill shirt in Red at Smith & EdwardsThen over that shirt, this Carhartt quilt-lined vest is a perfect spring layering piece that is as tough as the men that wear it.

Those Ariat roper-toe boots are made from premium leather, and have more technology in them than you’d expect from a cowboy boot, to stabilize him and keep his feet cushioned. See these boots online.

Remember to get him a new Wild Rag: a rancher doesn’t want to be caught without one. You can even get a matching silk wild rag for your son wanting to be just like dad: we carry both kids’ and adult sizes, here.
